Anyone know what's up with the 2-minute quarters? The demo seems fully functional enough to allow for longer quarters. Even no game clock at all would be better than this. There's like no way to get any flow going because it's perperually the end of the quarter or half.

And on the same note, practice mode would be sweet as a demo. Either a demo with practice mode, or a separate demo of practice mode.

They just want to give you an appetizer Undefeated. Just a little taste to make you want the whole meal.

I would love to practice against the pass in practice mode. The CPU QB is lights out!

I also wish EA didn't make the dusk games so orange looking.....sometimes the Buckeye team looked like they were the Long Horns wearing their burnt orange uni's...

I agree, But I have an easy fix for that, Play day or night only.

As much as I like the demo a couple things still irk, the juking side to side continuously if you go back and forth with the stick, how you can spin and in mid spin you can spin the other way. Also the running animations kinda look weird in replay but during the game not so much if you can understand that. I also hope this is b/c of varsity but I have thrown off my back foot countless times with Prior and Perriloux and have thrown perfect balls. that said im digging the shift protection which I have found useful, I like how the game feels and imo the crowd sounds good, maybe its just me. The pixelated crowd IMO is no biggy b/c in past years the crowd would tick me off bouncing up and down all game long like they were on a trampoline. Tackling animations look a lot nicer with a couple hitches in gang tackling. I would give the demo an 8.4 if I had to rate it. I believe it will deliver a good experience and thats what I was looking for. I played last year and liked it so this years is a nice step up IMO.

Yeah, well, it worked. And now I'm just more pissed than anything. 24 days? I'll never make it, I say!

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Yeah Line shift protection was a good add finally ....but i noticed in replays the ball doesnt' rotate like years past...it was more straight and streamline....wat a joke !!!!

This is 91 pages so if asked and answered my apologies. What is the mascot celebrations with LSU where the tiger "sits" and the players throw the ball at his nose and he paws at it?

Why couldn't we go near the stands and play to the crowd...I scored a few times but the mascot was on the other side of the end zone so i couldn't do any of that.

This obviously has no significance whatsoever, but:

I love the XMB graphic/screen/wallpaper (whatever you want to call it) of NCAA on the PS3 if you let it sit without hitting "X" to start the game up.

C'mon, who's with me? I can't be the only one... right??

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

You know one thing that takes away from the atomosphere of the game? It's the zombie sidelines in all ea-sports football games. In real life the players would be cheering and yelling at team-mates and opposing players as they got tackled near them or made a tackle.

In Ncaa and Madden they are just low-detailed player models completely unaware of what is going on feet in front of them. They are stuck in a 10 second animation loop and just look plain dumb. Little things like that take out the excitment and immersion factor of the game.

Where are the crazy fan closeups, you always see them from so far out they have no impact or feeling in the game.

The reason for that, if you want fully animated sidelines, the game wouldn't be run at 60 FPS

Yeah how come EA don't have players patting the kickers head after a field goal or the classic pat on the butt after a good play

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

is there away to do custom celebrations in the endzone besides running up to the mascot?
