i just downloaded it an hour ago though....so it wasnt first thing this morning.
Took me about 10 minutes, maybe a little less, around 10am this morning.
Nice. Just threaded the needle on a pass inside the 10 yard line. Four defenders playing zone, threw a bullet right into the tiny ass hole to my receiver in between all four and waltzed in for the touchdown.
Oh yeah, 7 for 7 when it comes to returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
I haven't noticed myself tackling any different. I have always been a hit stick guy and I haven't seen myself whiffing on any tackles yet. This was something heading into the demo that I was interested in given the feedback and vids we saw.
What are the community day group seeing when it comes to using the hit stick vs the tackle button? When compared to what you saw down at EA.
I had a terrible game as FSU against Alabama due largely in part to whiffing on hit-stick tackles. Gave up an 87-yard screen pass for a touchdown because I tried to hit-stick with two defenders and missed badly. It's not as though you can't defend if you don't use the tackle button; just that the CPU will take advantage if you're hit-sticking and missing more than in past games.
I've been a whiffing machine on tackles and it's 100% because the suction is gone. I'm one of the people that never pressed square/x or used the hit stick. I always mash the hell out of the L1/LB button trying to strip the ball and I've been missing a lot because I guess I'm used to the offensive player getting sucked into my defender.
Thanks paakaa I'm only about 4 games in but I went from having this as a big worry for my defense to feeling a whole lot better already about it.
Saw the CPU defense with 11 seconds left come out in a zone cover 2 and I was in 5 wide and I just hot routes my right slot to a streak because he was uncovered, result a TD because there wasn't anyone within 20 yds of him. The SS covered the in route from the TE
Can some of the guys who have both consoles please make clear what is so different about the ps3 version? Also is TGT getting the ps3 or 360 version tomorrow?
Just wish the CPU would have came out and protected deep on that play but they didn't for some reason.
Sorry couldn't edit my other post to add that.
Mostly PS3 versions
Most of the users here will be getting PS3 though I think there are a couple getting 360. That said, there certainly are other attendees that will be getting 360 versions.
Game two and I lose again... 10-0 for Oregon. Oregon scores a td with 36 seconds left in the game. My passing game is pretty bad and it sure is a lot harder to run. I will say this though... those LEAPING LB's are NOT a thing of the past. Also, I am still seeing DB's run the routes in front of the recievers... that is still a huge frustration for me. However, far better challenge than last years game so far IMO.
To be honest--despite all the noise about the PS3 looking worse than the 360 version--I haven't really seen anything to make me feel that way. Now, I only own a PS3 so I don't have a 360 to compare it to right now, but all but one of my games at the Community Events were played on a 360 so I do have experience playing on both consoles.
I'm getting a PlayStation 3 copy of the retail game tomorrow; I don't know what console the other guys are getting.
After a couple games:
-Pass blocking needs just a little tweaking. Too much pressure too quickly and too often for my taste.
-Liking the cpu run game a little better but still dont have a great feel for that.
-Returns obviously need work.
-Excited for tomorrow! :-)

One other small thing that has been with this series for long enough is plays where u cause a fumble from a sack or anywhere else. On the screen it says DT 92 with a -7 UF TD return or something along those lines. Can anyone explain why this happens?
I know we have all seen it on kick or punt returns to where it says -65yd return and such. I'm just lost as to why this still happens and there may be a good reason that I'm clueless about as well right now. Just not sure, anyone care to chime in?
Thats why I am so confused about this, people are acting like this looks like a sega dreamcast game on ps3. I didnt feel that it looked bad at all on the ps3!
I have both consoles and in my honest opinion the 360 version seems a little cleaner visually and doesn't studder as much on cut scenes like the end of quarter highlights. Again, its just my personal opinion.
To the people that give a damn about it, yes it does. When I go into Ohio Stadium and I see TBDBITL in the right location ... no, it's not the end of the world if it was wrong, but it's a nice nod to the hardcore community when it's right.
You know I'm fine with criticism, but it'd be nice if you didn't outright bash guys making an effort for the community. Just ease up a little. I'm sure they weren't remotely as bad as some people I've heard on the radio (namely myself), nor as bad as your comments make them sound.
There are people who have said, since Day One of next gen NCAA, that it "looks the same as PS2".
