rece, rece, rece....its called The Coliseum....not USC Stadium.

Might not have the rights to the name.

You're right. As far as I know, it's always been listed as 'USC Stadium' in-game.

best on best could use some additional tweaks.

i'm playing as against oregon, and oregon came out with 4 WR's and a Te (in a quads left formation?), while i'm in a dime 2 man under. it has my MLB covering the 4th wr, and the dime corner covering the TE (who's lined up on the very inside).

the MLB lines up over the TE however.


also, since when can oregon's qb get hit by 4 defenders and break 4 tackles all in one play?

Thanks... I'll capture footage of this and send it to them tomorrow evening once I have the demo.


Everyone be sure to post similar examples you see in the demo with the details like baseball did. Unfortunately my fear is more for the 335/425 stuff which I don't think is in the demo.

ya, since there's no instant replay, i'm not entirely sure if it was a quads left or 5 wr left, with a TE in there. either way, the MLB lined up over the 4th wr, and the dime corner was on the TE.

Thanks for the video Ram. There is definitely some stuff I like and some other stuff I wasn't too happy to still see in the game. I can't wait for PS3 version tomorrow. However,WHERE IS ERIN ANDREWS???????? 1. Is gametrack still in the game? 2. Are injury reports still in the game? I really hope these two items were not removed. It would not make any sense to take them out as that would impact the immersion. Does anyone know?

One quick note: Kansas State's quarterback really likes to run. Even on pass plays, he doesn't take time to read through his progressions, it seems like if the first option isn't there, he's taking off lol. It's kind of hard to defend because your expecting pass, plus the dude can break tackles.

Looks like players will play to the tendencies, which it didn't seem like they did in NCAA 12. I could be wrong though.

qb's decide to take off on the scramble a lot earlier than what they did last year.

rb's are a lot smarter too in recognizing where the hole is for them to run through.

Yes they do like scramble. I had Baylor's QB tear me a new one twice on the last drive of the game by scrambling consecutive plays, gaining over 25 yards combined between the two scrambles and singlehandedly setting Baylor up for a game winning field goal.

I don't understand the criticism of Rece Davis in the studio updates. He sounds fine to me. He's not supposed to be super hyper doing those things.

[psusnoop]

Something small but I'd like to see the refs on the sidelines indicate that they are keeping the play clock rolling or if they are stopping it. For no huddle instances this could be beneficial.

*I'm reference plays like the one from this page the first video Ram has posted at the 13:18 mark in the video.

I agree, it could be slightly smoother but I'm enjoying the updates from the vids I've watched.

*Yawns* Ahh, 8:40 in the morning. Sounds like a good time to jump on my PS3 360 and play some more of the demo.

Nice!!!

So, today I return home from my Disney Cruise, (I'm still in Orlando at the moment) and I come back to the news that the demo is out. That's a nice "welcome home" gift!

[morsdraconis]

So, apparently they didn't get rid of the hitting the receiver in the hit shit. Just happened in the video that Ram posted above (Kstate vs Baylor) at the 7:30 mark. Hits the RB right in the shoulder instead of him turning to try to make the catch (and probably falling down in the process of trying to make that catch).

They always remove some commentary, etc. in order to try to reduce the size of the demo. So far as I'm aware, both Game Track and Erin Andrews are still in the retail version.

Really liked how the option route worked corectly in the baylor playbook. Also liked how the option blocking is right! its not always the DE its the last man on the line of scrimage. Like it should be the pass rush still wasnt great from the cpu players but this is on varsity so. You dont know if it could be better it seems like weight mattters to some degree now. Bubble screens still need some work though a pa bubble screen might be right were it needs to be didnt see. One in either spread playbook, it looks like the linebackers are comeing up on the run. Now more than in past versions the only thing I didnt care for is the gameplan features are still there and pass committ.

Just to clarify a couple things based on demo feedback:1.) Gametracks are in the game,they are not in the demo due to space constraints."


Thought this would help to clear that up guys.

[psusnoop]

Nice little breakdown of a couple of things from Tradition Sports.
