Someone let me know if the game feels different from last year. Also, someone tell me how Mett looks in the game.

I'm an NCAA guy all the way...bought it the last 13 straight years (compared to about 5 during that same span for Madden) and have already preordered this year's.

That being said, kind of a mixed bag for the demo. The passing is improved, the different trajectories make things more interesting. The defensive AI seems to be smarter. The DB's are much more aggressive going after the ball than the WR's are.

Other than that, it plays like a slightly smoother version of 12, which is to be expected I guess. Like NCAA 2012.5.

The bottom ticker with scores is a nice addition, but the most disappointing thing about the demo was the studio updates with Rece Davis. They built these up like they were some massive stroke of awesome, and they're completely terrible. Amazingly terrible, honestly.

Rece sounds like he's half asleep and his words don't flow together at all "Virginia Tech...currently...keeping their...ranking. Only...winning by...3....kill John Connor....back to you, Brad."

I found myself skipping through those after hearing them only twice. And they come up so frequently, it begins to get annoying.

With Madden getting the new physics engine and a complete reboot to their franchise mode, I'm actually looking more forward to it now. Which is kinda disappointing, but maybe this will grow on me with the Dynasty mode and new recruiting engine that you can't use in the demo. I spend most of my time doing that stuff anyway.

Wow the game feels a lot smoother. The replays look pretty great. The passing mechanics are awesome as well. I can finally get arc on a pass over people's heads into a tight spot. If I had any doubts, this would have erased them.

Oh and BTW, just like last year, you can share the demo and get 5 pro combat jerseys and LSU is one of em. I was pretty glad to see that Bc I loved those uniforms

They kept raving about the new commentary by Brad Nestler and Kirk. I'm sure its the same exact thing as last year, but I am wondering if they even addded one new phrase that will annoy us to death.

I'm not getting the audio disconnect you guys are talking about. But one thing that's really pissing me off is they made one of the receivers right bumper instead of left bumper for Xbox. Going to take some getting used to, have already gotten sacked a few times from pump faking instead of throwinf

LSU ratings in Heisman mode

The guy who posted the ratings on that forum is at E3, but they don't appear to be right since LSU is A- on offense and A+ on defense in this video.

First offensive possession I pump faked 3 times due to the receiver swap.

Tyran has a mustache?
fumbles are very prevelant!!(every big hit)

Catch animations are great!!
Receivers actually look back towards the ball and act on it when there icon is lit up, if not you must user catch(pretty cool)

"points galore through three" wtf the score is 7-0

End zone fades are are not money and rocket catches can be picked off due to aggressive cb's!! 0

Les miles is 30?!

Gameplay is def different, not an overhaul but passable. I enjoyed it. The commentary still sucks, and I even heard lines repeated verbatim from last year.

You do realize it is a DEMO with three different matchups? If they included all the commentary it would take hours to download the demo. Hell 2K scrapped the commentary for their NBA 2K12 demo

Beat Bama 17-0. Mingo 3 sacks and a FF for player of the game honors.

Damn. I hope that really happens.
