HAHA! When I was a tester I put this in as a bug. The engineer ran it against the AI script and said it called to take a knee again and he invalidated my bug! Yes, this is totally wrong! Our AI script needs a lot of work.

if you can get entrances back next year and work on the overall presentation of the game, ie bowl games, mid week games...etc then that would be awesome!! i think the gameplay is finally where it should be! the more and more i play the game the more i like the wide open gameplay! You really have so much more control over your players!

Our AI is pretty impressive though. It will never be perfect... cause when you perfect computer AI, the computer starts to teach itself. Since computers are so fast, within 3 days the game will have turned all your household appliances against you. Within a month it will have already taken over all the missile systems in the world and destroyed humanity. We don't want that to happen, do we?

Regarding the return of entrances in the future, for me the thing that kept them fresh (I believe it was in NCAA '06) was showing team and/or player stats at that point in the season when focusing on a specific player. To me that never really gets old as it's always interesting to see how my guys are doing.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I agree with tig5309, entrances may take too much work but having players warmup or show maybe like a star RB cutting before the game hopefully is something we can see next year

I can't seem to finish a game in the demo in 2-player head-to-head mode... it always locks up at the start of the second quarter; both times I tried were night games, myself as LSU and my brother as tOSU.

Entrances are a nice touch..but I mean if it's that hard to put in I'd rather they look elsewhere to be honest. Maybe they could just enhance the commentary in the pre game, or at halftime/post game a bit? Would that be easier?

I agree entrances would be great but if it's do hard i would rather them do other things like better commentary in the pre game, or at halftime/post game. And maybe work on the coaching carousel

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

To be honest, I'd rather have team entrances than halftime/post game. Wouldn't mind a weekly show like CH2K8 had though.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I'm glad that the D-line is much improved. No longer do we need to pinch the line to guard against inside running plays like FB or HB Dives.

If this is varsity level, I wonder how hard all-american will be. I'm barely winning games on this demo.

I can understand developer wants to tone down on the effectiveness of user catching. But not in conjunction with DB's AI getting a bump. I think users should get rewarded by making an effort to take control of the WR to make a catch, which also requires some practice. I think user catch effectiveness should've stayed where it was with DB play getting a bump. I wonder if Madden's gameplay would be the same as this.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Adam, u and the others must consider putting in the team entrances and some game ending celebrations. The game is seriously missing presentation. I would bet the sells would increase by at least 25 percent compared to whatever it will be with '09. Casual gamers have seen the '09 clips and said, "this is '08." There is nothing that really jumps out with '09 unless u r a hardcore gamer (such as me). U put in team entrances, maybe a solid halftime show, and at least 2 game endings (national championship) celebrations and this board (especially casual gamers that passed the ebgame shops) would be going crazy to when they release 2010. And if u guy(s) decide to throw in new qb throwing animations (rivers, manning, etc) as well, Ncaa 2004 will not be the best anymore. lol

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I didnt read the whole thread but I had a bug where the menus completely disappeared the entire game. No play calling screen, no overlays , nothing. Still played the game though. This is the xbox 360 version.

Otherwise, a marked improvement over last years.

I had the same bug last night...extremely frustrating.
