Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
Man im very disappointed in this demo, my friend was using tebow he ran back 15 yard and throw off his back leg, and was dead on accurate i was like wtf are you serious?. And he is the master of the rocket catching, he can abuse it like crazy. This dev team needs to be fired.
Its time for a new dev team for NCAA football, this is a joke man. Man i always enjoyed NCAA football than madden on the ps2 cuz i always believed it was a step ahead but now they are a joke. Since Madden got a new dev team well sort of more of change at the lead position. NCAA football need a change at the head position.
I wish Ian can take over NCAA football but that might be too much to handle both dev teams. I guess its ps2 this year again at least i can play with FCS teams and enjoy doing my spring drill practice, spring game, and oh yeah formation subs unfreaking believeable that these are not in the game yet.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
Simple question, probably asked before, but why can't the exact PS2 version be created with the new gen graphics? Is the PS2 easier to program for? The PS2 version was still a better version last year just because of the features and overall gameplay. I would even say the graphics were better simply because of the running animation (which is once again painfully awful in the new gen version).
I just don't get it.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
It's my understanding that this is only an issue on the PS3 demo. One of the NCAA devs (Greg Heddlesten, aka G-Reg13) stated back on the 19th over at ncaastrategies that this issue has been addressed and should not be present in the retail version.Last edited by coogrfan; 06-23-2009, 10:22 AM.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
I think some people are being a little harsh on the graphics of the demo for no good reason. There is a significant mass of people who say that they prefer playing NFL 2k5 or last-gen Madden/NCAA, but when it comes to evaluating the graphics of NCAA '10, they look last gen and horrible? Doesn't the fact that people still play those old games tell you that graphics are only part of the story?
I've played the demo a few times, and I've enjoyed it for the most part. It's hard to tell if playing defense will be as irrelevant as it was last year, but something like position lock at least gives me something else to do. NCAA '09 wasn't close to perfect, but I did like that game, and I think '10 has quite a bit to offer too.
You all complain but you darn well know that online dynasty and new rosters ARE things that interest you, and I highly doubt you'll find 11 people to do your dynasty that would rather play '09 than '10.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
Tried the demo and liked it. I love they're putting in create school so that is the main selling point for me.
Did notice that the player modes aren't as detailed and looks like they're using the lighting from Madden 09. wish they would not have, since the lighting at night games for ncaa09 was one of the best I've seen in a game. Madden 09 lighting is more like a glow which I didn't like. No big deal.
As for the gameplay, pretty standard. Did like the running game, seemed more like you will get rewarded for running behind your blockers etc... passing not sure, don't pass much, but so far much better than last years passing game which was too open.
So far I like it. Like I said, i'm hoping the create team feature is used well in dynasty.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
After playing the Demo 50 times over the last 3 days on Freshman, Varsity, All-Amer. and Heisman I have decided to purchase NCAA 10.
The Good: The CPU AI makes you pay for trying to scramble outside the pocket, especially when you just roll outside of your blocks. The only exception is Freshman and sometimes Varsity. Now I experienced this with playing Offense and Defense with both teams! Florida is the superior team in the demo.
If you try to run backwards and throw off the back foot, the passing icons begin to fade and disappear. This is a great punishing tool for those who choose to play unrealistically.
I love the fact that you can have player lock on defense to get the true experience of being a football player and having to make plays and stay true to your defensive assignment. The changes you can make from Agressive to Neutral to Passive actually does work. The Animations are better than NCAA 09...but not where they still should be. I like the over the shoulder receptions...headtracking, the fact that the defense punishes you for throwing into triple coverage and the fact that the better team (Florida) outplays (Oklahoma) in key areas of the game.
The True test will come when the game comes out and you pit Florida against Big State University. That will tell if all teams play to their potential or if the CPU AI magically "adapts" to everything you do no matter who you play against.
The band is a nice touch.
The Bad: -Field Goal Nets are like brick walls
- On offense blockers miss key blocks that become a problem
- Presentation is just awful and the sidelines are worse than last-gen PS2. Teambuilder should be part of the disc, not something that has to be done online...and Season Showdown should be an added bonus not a primary feature.
- Glitches must be cleaned up; such as snap going over QB's head for an incomplete pass.
These are just a few of the issues that are more than capable of being cleaned up on a patch and in time for July release date.
I do think the game has tons of potential that could be 80-85%realized this year if they release 1 or 2 great patches! I am excited by alot of the little things that they DID get right in the demo...however 2 minute quarters and limited presentation is not going to cut it. I am not saying the game is going to be great but, it is not going to be as bad as some have made it seem.“What’s better than one billionaire? 2.....”Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
I took him to mean that they had corrected the issues that have been plaguing the PS3 demo, i.e. "the number of snaps over the qb's head has been toned down and when they do occur they will not be whistled dead as incomplete passes".Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
Here is my impressions:
I mostly play offline with dynasty and such so this impression is based off of that aspect.
This years offering is a pretty good one IMO. ITs just like everyone has been saying; think madden 2009 gameplay with the ncaa overlay. Which to me is fine. I wished madden and ncaa shared more of the gameplay and presentation aspects but I really didnt have an issue with madden 09 last year gameplay wise. Now playing against another human who exploits tha many bugs IE rocket catch, 15 yard drop backs and what not would ruin this for me. However if your like me and play offline then this year is gonna be pretty good. Gameplay is awesome, as well as the feel of the game. Esepcially since I am pretty sure the minor gripes I have with this game will likely be ironed out come release day. Put it this way, I went from not getting this at all to buying it day one. Here is my pros and cons breakdwon.
Pros
Graphics- seems to me like there was quite a bit upgrade. The athletes look like atheltes year rather than the skinny nobodies they did last year. Think madden 09 player models and that is what you get which is aweosme to me.
Gameplay- lots of things I saw this year that made me all googly eyed. I think madden will kill it but the ball physics when it is thrown and the tackling and the gameplay feels awesome to me this year. There are some animations that madden spoile me with that I wish were in ncaa 10 but no biggie. The most awesome thing I saw was I was playing against florida and I thought they wewre kicking a FG so I did the good ol FG block and good ol meyer did a FG fake pass that went for six. This is what I always wanted. The CPU making a dummy out of me occasionally. Thing is now I actually get a sim CHALLENGE this year which is a big + this year.
Ratings- seems to me like they reallty matter this year. Speeds and skill between players stand out and really make you play to your strengths. Animations are really aweosme when catching the ball to. Had a sweet over the shoulder grab by jermaine gresham in the corner of the endzone that had me pumped.
Cons
Crowd chants- sounds wierd as crap. The boomer sooner sounds like a clipped soundbite randomally added, no big deal though since I never play with them outside of this demo. Also wish that since it was a NC game the crowds should be balanced and chants chould be for both teams not just the home team.
FG's- too much power, 55 yard FG's are hard to kick in college so everyone shouldnt be kickin them.
Just some small tidbits that hopefully help some folks out. I really dont care about precise turning point of players since this year they did a good enough job capturing, I dont think any game can capture the human physics exactly to the "T". I know 2k5 didnt, they had tron turns just like everyone else. Right now I would rate this game an 8.7 with the potential to be an 8.9 to 9 if they fix some stuff.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
I'm giving a final assessment t on the graphics, I just got my retail version of 09 from eBay today, played a full game and then played the 10 demo again, My final assessment is that the Graphics in 09 are indeed BETTER, yes it's my opinion. 10 looks real crazy with the colors and there are really a lot of jaggies in 10, and 09 is smooth and clear and just very easy on the eyes.
If this is really the real retail games graphics, then Yes 10 takes a step backwards in the graphics department compared to 09. Maybe they need to cut down on the graphics for more room for the team builder, which would be just stupid. I want a pretty game to play and 10 is lacking, yes a new year anew game you would think it would better, but it just doesn't.N.Y Mets

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
Personally I don't care about a game being "pretty" like yourself.
Throw me in the group of people who want a game that is "good enough".
09 to 10 is going to be a huge jump in gameplay. There are so many terrible things about 09 and despite them I still played the hell out of the game.
Online dynasties rule in the world of NCAA, especially if you get a good group of guys. That alone takes many, many of the complaints out of the game.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here
Just realized that my xbox was set on regular tv instead of HD then played another game. Wow what a difference all the colors especially the field just popped brilliantly. Graphics are so much improved this year I'm just scratching my head at those who say different. I wish I could go to sleep until the 14th and as the great Fred Norris would say yaaahooo!Comment
