NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions (Pasta Padre)

[hdaniel1]

Pasta Padre has posted his demo impressions of NCAA Football 10.

Quote:

"I’ve continued to argue against two minute quarter demos because of the inability to get into any rhythm. The faults of this are more pronounced with NCAA 10 though because the improvements and additions to the game I see as being more subtle. So it is less likely you’ll see the effect of game planning, or have the chance to run a fully “set up” play, or see the AI adapting over the course of the game."

I agree, two minute quarters are idiotic. If you don't get the ball in the 1st or 3rd for whatever reason (turnovers) then you're running a two minute offense if you're trying to win. I definitely would have preferred two quarters of five minutes; or if they wanted to keep eight minutes total: two quarters of four minutes.

Pretty fair assessment of the demo in my opinion

I pretty much feel the same was as Pasta. This game to me is a lot like Madden 09, particularly when it comes to the running game. I was only able to get good rushes by holding off on hitting turbo 'til I reached/passed the LOS and or/juking like crazy. On heisman, the pressure put on by the Cpu is pretty good, IMO. I really like the player lock for blitzes on defense, and it's been fun using it when in control of a TE OLman to block on running plays.

I hope the final game looks better than this demo it looks cartoonish and edgey.

We now have impression articles on demos?

I agree with Pasta that there is no emotion in this game whatsoever. Give me something to care about Tiburon.
