NCAA 13's graphics for PS3 look like they came straight out of the PS2.

Well after a bit of more time with it... my gripes still stand with the visuals..don't like it nor do the grass looks good..its nasty but with that being said the actual game play seems to be fairly good ..i mean its fun in some ways but i hate the camera being up so high..man just lower it or give us custom cam for goodness sakes.

I had a few good games that were fun though... i dont get into all the technical side of things when it comes to X's and O's because that i can usually live with by adjusting sliders,etc and i know inside that no game no matter how sophisticated the hardware will ever be wont be close to the real deal..we are just so far off from that and like i said..sliders usually allows me to get the gaming working, AI tuned to the point where im satisfied for the most part.

I really would love to see some improvements for running the ball though..tapping the button would help greatly for running the ball and accelerating instead of simply holding down a button for acceleration..remember NFL2k5 and how fun it was to run teh ball? Well that is why..they gave us the ability to quickly tap the button to run faster..going through opened holes while quickly tapping the button felt so right. At least give us this as a option..so some can turn it on or off as their personal preference..it does not have to be a mandatory feature but i know many would want it.

Overall its a decent game..i dont care for the grass ..looks butt ugly as well as some other things visually and i probably wont be buying this seeing how nice madden is looking this year...

I believe we are headed in the same direction as last year. Option seems off kind of like last year and is just one broken patch away from being just as bad as last year. The gameplay is just really screwed up IMO. Doesn't even feel like a football game to me. I know it's just the demo. But, I feel as though I've seen this movie before and I know how its going to end unfortunately. I hope that I'm wrong.

I took some time last night to watch one of EA's webcasts where they previewed what they did to this year's game and aside from the much improved passing game, the scrolling scores on the bottom of the screen and the studio updates the demo does not match up to what they promoted in those webcasts. Case in point - in the "sights and sounds" webcast they promoted "a richer, louder, more robust and realistic crowd" in NCAA 13. Going by the demo, did they deliver on that?
This is what makes me afraid that we are going to be hoping for the best and reliving last year. I really hope not as I love this series but the demo does not inspire confidence.

Can anyone confirm what the game speed was set at on the demo?

This was actually in NCAA 12. I used Wisconsin in a 3 year online Dynasty and I can tell you by week 8 or 9 usually my running game with James White (after Montee Ball left) got much worse and I definitely did have to use substitute RBs. I also noticed a LOT of niggling injuries to White near the end of the season from using him a lot. This is not my imagination from one season either, I saw this again and again across three seasons.
