Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

TD celebrations/atmosphere still suck.

Your teammates actually run away from you after you score.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

One thing I noticed was that the kickoff return plays wasn't fixed. It stick says kickoff return instead of kick return right, middle, and left. I had pm'd OMT about that last year but its no biggie. Lost my first game in ot 10-9. Went for two and got stopped at the goal line.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Yea celebrations are still weak but that means nada to me since no matter how great they are...they wear out soon and most people just press the skip button to move the game along.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

No. Night game.

Not really. I've noticed that when I blitz the cpu goes deep. If you are playing a human you could always risk/reward and strip the ball soon as they catch it or swat which will make the dlineman jump.

I was just messing with Solid.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Pursuit angles are definitely fixed. I've seen a few nice 30- and 40-yard kickoff returns that would have gone for 6 last year but were stopped because the defenders took a great angle.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I wish on offense it would go back to the player you were locked on after the play because having to cycle through players to get that player you had takes you out of any kind of rhythm.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I've admittedly only played one quarter, but my initial impression is that this game plays much better than any video I've seen gives it credit for.

Will play more later to get a better feel but I have to go to class for now.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

So you can abuse Tech's dink & dunk passing?

if I get a QB like Willis in my '09 OD, you'll get to see first hand what I can do. :wink:

also, if you look at the Road to Glory info on the demo it says, "Take Erin Andrews on an Adventure" I got impure thoughts now.

Heisman games will be barn burners. Side note: Switching through plays on the play call screen lags soooooo awful.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Yea definitely need to ratchet up what the announcers say as the game gets towards the end. Show some excitement as the NATIONAL CHAMPS are about to be crowned!! New lines please!

Wish they did a better job with the crowd. Kinda like in The Show.

Not here. Maybe you should clear your Xbox cache.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Ran a fully set-up playaction play. Demarco Murray has two long tds so the play was at 100. No complete biting by the secondary and linebackers. The play did go for 15 yards though.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I think the game is pretty good as far as all the new animations I have spotted so far. I do like the player lock feature, but as it has been said, it's a bummer when the play moves out of my players vicinity I cant just switch to another guy a little more easily.

Does anyone else notice a choppy feel when the ball is hiked? It's like the screen jumps a little or something. That was really the first thing I noticed.

If that's the worst I got on this, then the game is ok with me. Looking forward to playing with Sierra Nevada U!
