Definitely a solid step in the right direction.

Yea you can definitely feel the change in game play. Very apparent. I like the feel. It was strange though, as playing a regular game I noticed the zig zag running is there but the game still feels a little less "floaty", but playing heisman challenge the zig zag running was there and it looked horrible. It was like a completely different game.

My impressions of the demo:

- Better than last year's
- Feels a lot like madden 2012
- The new passing mechanics change the game for the better - very noticeable difference.
- Run game felt very overpowered - I feel confident this can be fixed with sliders
- Tackling is overdone similar to the Madden 2012 demo - can be fixed with sliders
- Love the decision making by the CPU quarterbacks when under pressure. They are not robotic and will take the sack when receivers not open
- Line interaction seems much improved. The ends seem to be effective, even while defense is playing 3 down. Good to see those big D-line men of LSU get low and drive those blockers backwards. Looks great! Can't wait to tune this; lots of potential here this year.
- Defensive backs played the ball well - loved the head tracking
- Saw quite a few new animations - love the trucking animation

All in all this game feels much smoother than last year. The crowd and stadium environment sound much better.

The issues I have with demo can most likely be fixed with sliders. Overall, I would score it about a 9.7 - good football!

i really need to get used to pressing rb for the (lb) reciever, i keep pump faking it lol..

it also seems to me like the camera view has gotten even further away... no this demot having the RTP aside there is just not enough polish on this game no new equipment....short socks once again and theres just not enough of a difference to me from ncaa12 to this demo...especially graphically or small details if they knew they werent getting "infinity" they should have immersed themselves in fixing the small things that everybody wanted...its clear that they didnt do that

Hate the BONG tackle sound! hello!

I threw 3 picks and lost the game 17-13. Either the Baylor QB has no arm strength ( I tried to throw it to the outside with a bullet pass but it got picked off ) or my receivers suck.

Or, or..I could just be epically bad at passing with the new controls.

Don't know why I threw it so much. Shoulda just stick with the running game T_T

I think EA may regret the early release thing. I purchased it last year and I'm going to lab the heck out of this game. I usually buy it regardless but, as an offline Dynasty guy if the cpu AI can't figure out a way to effectively perform like their real life counterparts I'm out. It'll be the first non purchase for me ever. I go back to the very first Bill Walsh.
