I've had numerous DB's drop interceptions that were right in their hands...but then they make the harder INT's.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I am sure this has been mentioned, but the LB's still seem to have jet packs and great hands on intercepting balls. Annoying!

Could be you're passing it right to them?

I don't remember seeing this in the Demo but did anyone see the First down Chop...after getting a first down?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I haven't had a LB pick one off for me or pick me off yet.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Do you lob the passes over the middle? I usually try to gun them in but at a high angle. By no means am I any good at this game so that could be the problem. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.:wink:

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

The QB walking in place happens sometimes in shotgun plays right? We aren't seeing it in final.

Our QA guys tell me they have never seen the Oline problem.

Sounds good.

How about the ball not rotating on throws during an instant replay?

Depending on if the WR is covered or not....if he is then a lob if he isn't...a bullet is best!!!!....Lob for a fly pattern but normally bullet for a crossing pattern in the middle of the field.

Yes. It's just odd to see the ball not rotating on a pass. Maybe just a demo issue...? And the ball isn't really ever kicked by the kicker in replays. It just takes off before the foot even gets close to it. Or, the ball leaving the QB's forearm and not his hand. It just looks bad.

These are obviously cosmetic, but still graphical/animation annoyances in the game.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Ok, this will go as both a statement and a question for Adam, or whomever may be able to answer.

I threw a pass into the endzone in which the WR jumped up made the catch and was hit on the way down and apparently when he hit the ground the ball came loose. It was scored a TD. Now I don't know exactly what happened because you can't replay in the demo. My question is this. Will something like this be challenged by the cpu. or anyone for that matter, in the retail version of the game or was this just some fluke with the animation systems?

Has anyone found out a way to get #8 Trindon Holliday into the game for LSU?
He is not the backup RB, but maybe I can get the first string RB (#5 Keiland Williams) tired and then sub in the backup to the backup,which maybe he is 3rd string, I haven't tried that yet.

I just wanted to see his speed in relation to everyone else, especially since he should be the fastest player in the game, actually one of the fastest college football players of all-time!

Exactly, and while it doesn't really affect gameplay, it really really takes away from the experience for me... it's just so damn noticeable and annoying.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

i like the HB dive in pretty much any formation.

hey solidice, the trey open/zone is also a great run play to call

Yes. He is 6th on the depth chart at WR. I had him come in the game for a couple of plays when LaFell was injured. He will be available in the SG 5-wide set.

His speed is stellar! I threw a drag route to him while covered by a LB and he took it about 55-60 yds to the house. He's a burner (as he should be)!

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I am not a LSU fan, but aren't they going to try to get the ball in his hands a lot this season? Definitely more than 6th WR! Maybe in a "Harvin" type role? BTW is he the fastest player in the game? I believe he set the NCAA record for the 100m dash, if I am not mistaken.

Anyway back to the game, I really wished they would change the way the play calling screen changes. Sometimes when I just ran a play from a shotgun formation,when it goes back to the play call screen it defaults back to ACE formation, it's annoying.

Also does anyone know if these depth chart bugs have been fixed: 1. The game placed the highest rated player at every position, for example many LT, even G would be at the top of the depth chart for TE.
2. Also this made the return chart extremely messed up, with usually the starting RB being the top PR and KR.

Just the overall difficulty in the depth charts, it was so frustrating last year, hopefully they fixed some of it.

I don't know if those are fixed

the bug where if you edit a player it reset the depth chart i believe is still in though. but thats not a problem for me, just edit your players then set depth chart.
