Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Player lock is pretty kool.

Agreed -- especially on D. Feel like I'm actually involved again.

Could also be interesting to play O-line and pass block from time to time.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

My impression...better than i thought.

+ Very nice DL pressure from myself and CPU. Tebow broke a sack and another sack he struggled for a while before being taken down.
+ Love the new catch animations
+ Kick returns seem better. They pan the camera back so you can see the lanes.
+ Hard to see a pocket or WR/CB jostling without replay but it appeared to be there.
+ Bradford nailed me on 2 deep balls. A nice 68 yrd TD on a PA to a wide open TE and a 29 yrd up and out to the WR. Caught me n the blitz both times.
+ Recovered on onside kick for the first time ever.
+ Wr slants are nice. You actually have some room to maneuver and run.
- Saw some Mario running

Its decent. I was on the fence about buying it but its not bad. They definitively made some changes for the better.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I swear I've seen more incomplete passes in the demo than I saw the entire time I had NCAA 09.

Great sign.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Be cool if the player lock camera would then switch to the player that is going to get the ball, etc. after your "task" is over. Instead the cam just stays with you.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Yea definitely some mario running.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Their beloved Field Goal nets are more like brick walls. They're stiff going up(Beavis laugh) and they dont give way when the ball hits them. Not that it's a big deal, but you'd think as much as they hyped this BIG new addition, they'd of done it better.

MY opinion is that it feels a little faster than last year. And it seems like they did alot of work on "follow throughs" at the end of plays. The way players move and flow after a play. That and some other subtle new animations(or so I think). I dunno, It just really helped add a little more realism to it...for me.

My game had 8 injuries....on MY team, and 2 on theirs. Which is pretty bad, but atleast Erin Andrews made it all better. I mean, she SAID "Brad" but I could tell she was totally talking to me.
Anyway, I know I'm excited for it, then again I'm easy to please. Can't wait to see how my Eastern State Timberwolves do.

Place at the table! WWWWOOOOOO!!!!!

I would say it depends on the injuries... guys get hurt constantly throughout football games, but most are just minor so we never hear about them and their back on the field in no time.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Is the new break tackle engine from madden affective?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Right now I don't like the new gameplay camera (will take some getting used to) and I hate the new coach cam.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

The spin move is slower not super fast like we are used to in fball games.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Throw a nice dump pass over the middle. Felt nice and wasn't a super LB insight. Atmosphere seems the same just some more chants from the crowd. I don't feel immersed, especially for a title game though could be cause it's only a demo.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Refs are in the game, but cutscene only.

they were in '09 as well. :wink:

set my xbox to download the demo, around 55% right now. just notice that my 120GB hard drive in under 10GB free.

I guess I don't need every single game installed on my hard drive anymore.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Sweet: Sam Bradford made a one-handed "catch" off a bad shotgun snap.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

How actually playing the game has made some people talk positively about the game

I love heisman level

I am getting pressure from the outside with my ends and I love that the cpu is running on me in heisman

Love the new camera angles and love the tons of new animations

This game feels much more polished then last year. I even went back and played 09 demo and the difference is big

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

CPU just threw a pretty TD pass over the WR shoulders for 7. Looked pretty smooth.:wink:
