Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I had much more success getting a pass rush by using the defensive keys and picking pass in the obvious situations (PS3) Dunlap was player of the game with 2 sacks, also forced 3 bad throws by getting their a split second late.

Has anyone else seen a difference in play by using the defensive keys?

Yes. That and your conservative, normal, and aggressive settings.

Ive played 8 games so far, all using the gators..im going to give OU some quality run now.

I've had some decent success controlling Dunlap..and have been able to get some disruption and a some user sakcs..but Im not a big fan of the right stick to do the moves..it doesnt seem fluid.

I dont like the Gears of War style cinematic over the shoulder shaky camera...there should be CUSTOM CAMS in this game already!...No excuse. Last Gen had so many CAM angles...whats the deal?

Pull the L2 trigger (PS3) or L trigger (360) and they will pop-up for you.

You can highlight a receiver and either choose run right, run mid, run left or play for the pass.

I like this a lot. Another element of strategy.

This took damn near a day to download, but when it finally did I was impressed with somethings and a little unsure on a few others.
The graphics definitely look a lot better, tackle animation are great (although you can notice the recycled ones from years past over and over again). The passing game has been improved as my passes over the middle weren't intercepted by a linebacker with a 75 inch vertical leap and i felt like when I aimed a pass it went where I wanted it to go.
Things I still don't like: No team entrances or pre-game actions, no animations after a win. I am also not sure about how I feel about the pre-snap play view being straight down on the field, made the whole action seem to jerky and confusing at times.

Overall I liked it and hope they fix some minor bugs before shipping.

I have enjoyed the Demo so far, it only makes me more excited for the game arriving at my house.

I like the new animations during play, i like how the QB will throw the ball away (with very little accuracy!) when he is being sacked and the ball just goes to the ground or its a lazy lob to no one (or to a DE in one of my cases), the player lock is great, I really look forward to using that more. The strategy thing popping up before each half and after each timeout can be annoying (i just haven't utilized it yet, maybe i'll like it if i use it).

correct me if I'm wrong, but one time when I was on defense, right after i picked a play and it went to the field, it looked like on of my LBs (Spikes) did an animation as if he was buttoning his chin strap (even though i know the strap is always on, he jsut moved his hands as if thats what he was doing)...if that is so, thats cool, i've never noticed that before.

Not buying for the first time since 2003. Pathetic. This development team is clueless.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Im convinced robo QB is alive and well. The cpu scans the field and finds the open receiver with no problem. Blitz him, and hes throwing the ball away without intent to complete a pass. Its insane. I get the felling Every Qb will be like Peyton Manning, which was the problem last year. The minute a receiver is open, they are getting the ball out on time and on point. There is an awareness rating am I correct? Why isnt it being applied to cpu QBs? Low awareness should mean poor coverage recognition, high awareness means elite coverage recognition thus getting the ball out quicker. But no...cpu qbs are programmed to get the ball out in less than 2-3 seconds on the regular. Which quite frankly....isnt realistic football.

look at this video here. the guy obviously has all of his blocking schemes on aggressive. If you havent noticed the best way to run the ball on the demo is to do what he is doing. However, that shouldnt be the case. I pray that the coaching schemes wont be too powerful.

That's really depressing that Rocket Catches are in this game. Its going to make me not play online

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Ok the more I play it the more I can't stand those shaky camera angles, maybe some of you guys like it or think it's cool or etc etc..but it irritates the hell out of me.
