Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Real life physics in a 60 dollar video game?

Lol

Close to real life physics, is that a better choice of wording for you?

2k has done it, madden is doing it, its not impossible?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

people have mentioned the rocket catching, but overall doesnt this game play a lot like madden 09 too? i barely played madden but it feels kinda like that to me. anybody who played madden last year more than me feel the same way? the game does feel different than ncaa 09, its harder to complete deep passes. thats partially due to personally me not being able to judge passes if i user catch. even when i have a receiver get by the defense im having trouble positioning him to make the catch. theres going to be a bit of an adjustment period. the pressure is improved over 09.

The sliders better not be broken, but even if they're effective, I doubt my pass-happy friends will enjoy me trying to convince them to tune the sliders for our dynasty so that the running game isn't worthless.

What's wrong with wide open gameplay?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Can anyone comment on the Field Goal Kicking? Is it still the same old automatic from 55 yards and in?

The only field goal attempt I've seen from the AI so far was a miss from 20 yards (heisman).

I'm hoping that's not just a fluke, one time thing.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

A few more things after playing a couple of games on AA:

-Running the ball seemed slightly easier than it was on Heisman. I broke a long run in each game. Scored on one, hawked on the other one.

-On the QB sneak the QB actually tries to get low this year instead of standing straight up and getting hit in the mouth.

-The cpu actually disguised coverages a little. In 09 it was easy to see that the blitz was coming by looking at the corners. In the demo, the corners gave the blitz look, but dropped off into coverage.

-Loving the player lock even more. Was able to pressure the QB once, which forced him to throw a pick, and then able to go throw a block to help my FS go score.

-Really hope that Adam is right about the spike play logic being fixed. Although Tebow did use the fake spike against me for a TD.

-Felt like the cpu brought a little less pressure on AA than on Heisman. Still didn't get alot of pressure on the cpu besides the one instance I mentioned above.

-Thought that cpu made a good adjustment of calling more screens after I started blitzing more.

-Pass coverage appears to be better.

Yeah, I just saw a 54 yarder hit almost to the top of the field goal net.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I knew something was missing. They took out the left stick jukes!!
I loved that. What was the reason behind taking this out devs?

Damn, you're right. You can't shimmy anymore. What gives?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

That royally sucks.

Even if they sliders work, I doubt my pass-happy friends will enjoy letting me tune the sliders for our dynasty so that the running game isn't worthless.

For what it's worth; I had no problem rushing for a TD and a few first downs on Heisman using OU. As tebow I rushed quite a bit as well. Didn't do much HB rushing with Florida, as I am really inexperienced running out of the shotgun.

Ahh, so that's what they're calling the "you can't run but you can pass all day" gameplay these days. :wink:

Twitch running is more realistic, come on guys we all know the direction this team wants to go this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Cheese Factory!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see why there isn't outrage against this. Do people realize how many big games come down to a FG in real life. College Kickers are anything but automatic.

The guys at EA should really watch a few games. Are these guys even college football fans?

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

running on heisman is a productive as it was last year. ran every play for an entire game. over 100 yards with no big runs. you have to use motion with your fb and te's to fight the d's overloads. i do see from time to time the old tecmo you called my play d. got sacked by both dt's on a play and wasnt finished dropping back.(5 step drop) but running is good. the cpu can actually stop me some.

Well, the shimmy's already on my NCAA 11 wish list. They should have never taken it out.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

I saw a crapton of college flags above their cubicles, so I mean I assume they watch some college football.
