Great game so far.

If anyone is wondering, facemask penalties are back.

according to the team ratings that was release on EA's site, LSU is 91 overall, 88 offense, 96 defense.

OSU is 99 overall, 99 offense, 97 defense. but the Ea site has them at 99's across the board

unless the demo is using an older version of the roster or they were modified. or maybe since there are only 2 teams the team ratings changed?

Ok...I can finally start downloading. How long does it take to download this? I already started...but I have to leave for work in about 30mins. Don't want to leave my 360 running at the house while I'm gone. Can I pause the download?

There is an option to have the 360 keep downloading when you turn it off. It's somewhere in your console settings.

No, you're right. We did another pass on the rosters after the demo was finalled I just found out. These aren't the final rosters.

another yr..another demo..another game..yawn..its ok..i mean i won 28-0 being Ohio State..

- 6 players hurt in the 1st qrt
- threw a pass and it sky rocketed over to the left side of the screen and i got called for grounding..
- nice fluid motion and physics
- said 4th down was coming up when it was 2nd down, quite random..
- 4 players hurt in the 2nd half..
- either i really suck or O-State has no offensive line, cause i got sacked so many times in the 2nd haf

more..but i got stuff to do..just hope to god this isnt even remotely close to what the actual game is gunna be..and even if it is ill still buy it...who was the one said it.."EA Sports..its in the game...next year...maybe.." who ever came up with that is genius..late

I've seen post saying that it's not as bad as they can make quick adjustments, which is cool BUT is there enough time to use the individual D player hot routes feature. (Changing a LB to zone etc..)
 
# 155 SageInfinite @ 06/19/08 01:08 PM
So far the worst thing about the demo is having to wait for the retail game to release

I got a fever. And the only prescription is the NCAA demo baby!

I cannot wait to DL and play this sucker tonight! My friend (Buckeye fan) is even coming by later to check it out.

Thanks for all of the impressions fellas. I've been checking them out on the Treo all morning. Working (and the PS Store) is cramping my style today.

How does what he's played before have anything to do with what others have played before?

It doesn't.

Anyone else having trouble getting used to the switch of buttons for throwing to the running back? RB used to throw to your back but now it's LB. I've been called for grounding at least three times because of pushing the wrong button. I hope it can be switched. Just seems like an odd thing for EA to change after the buttons were reversed for the last two versions.

It is good to see the generally positive reaction to the demo. I found out what build it is from and it is farther from final than I thought. But still pretty close to what the retail game is.

If you think the commentary is the same, I don't know what to tell you. We can't re-record the whole script every year! Most of the updates were the play by play (Nessler).

On this fourth down bug... can I get some more info on it? Were you super simming? I never heard this, but it sounds common since more than 2 of you have already heard it.
