Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

LOL, so what happened next? Did you return the kick? Did your drive start from the 25?

I returned the kick and started from like my 30 (where I got to on the return). It was so odd.

BTW, I scored and went on to win 42-35 in 3OT!

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

It seems a bit blander in the graphics dept than last year as well. It really feels like Madden 09. I wonder if they're using that engine.

The crowds look absolutely atrocious as per usual and some of the chants sound canned, especially the defense one. It doesnt sound like its coming from the stadium.

Custom Stadium Sounds are your friend fellow Gator fan. Trust me. It makes a world of a difference. Also, in the retail game, turn down some of the other sounds and max the crowd volume. Problem solved.

Oh, and if you have surround sound going, it will be that much better.

Thanks for the impressions guys!

How does the pocket look?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I don't know all of the Sooners corners and how good they are but they are flying around making plays. They already have a pick (Tebow got hit while throwing), two pass deflections, and a strip (after I caught a pass on a drag route they punched it out from behind). I just started the second half. It looks like we'll be able to play man coverage this year. I'm a hard core NCAA player who plays realistically and there a lot of things I see that there not letting me get away with this year. I love it : ).

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Oh snap. I just went to big hit Murray on a dive play at the goal line and he just bounced back while still on his feet and ran it in over the left side. Never seen that animation before....

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

So jealous of you 360ers. Punks!

Thank for the impressions guys. It's early, but I like the seeing that it's polished and has a better "feel". I cannot wait for tonight when it hits the PS Store!

Go Gata! :wink:

Oh, and could you tell me the ratings for all of the players in the demo. Especially the #4s on the depth chart. I just had to.

3 smilies FTW.

Cant see ratings.
First play out the gate Bradford goes deep on a nickle to the corner for six. Playing on AA

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

quick question.. is it out for silver users yet?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Maybe its just finally seeing the game on the HDTV and not on the laptop or the new camera angles for passing the ball. But the excitement level for the game just went up a ton. It does feel different atmosphere wise. Maybe its just because its the National Title. Rosters issues get fixed and its a first day purchase at this point.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I'm playing on Heisman. There isn't much of a pass rush at all but it some what evens out cuz some of your recievers aren't open at all. I just tried to throw a deep in to my tight end, over the linebacker in front of the safety while holding up all the way: Ball sailed about 5 yards high. This could be a Tebow thing tho. I'm gonna play with Bradford next game and see if there's a difference.

Oh, I was kidding. I just wanted to do that because some clown come in here and ask a bunch of ratings questions, knowing damn well they can view them in Team Builder.

Good to see Bradford going deep and making the defense pay.

I know this heh. I have two CDs that I got at the UF Bookstore a few years ago that make it a lot better, but the in game crap sucks.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

lost again on heisman but every game is tight and defensive battles

pass rush is hard as heck but if you use the lineman yourself you can get some decent pressure and i was called for 2 late hits on tebow...

defensive backs are good but running spread formations with florida is killer....the defense does adjust very well in heisman

running the ball is much better in heisman then last year

graphics do suck in terms of blur affect and crowds suck

atmosphere feels much better and the little touches here and there are making this a sweet game..

sliders should help as long as they work

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Thanks for the headsup, downloading as we speak.

Are all the games you folks played high scoring?

That's the problem. It appears they may have tuned the game for when the user plays as a DL but they certainly didn't fix the cpu DL pass rush.

And the sliders don't work this year. Steve's videos with adjusted sliders have conclusively shown that imo.
