Why do I need XBL Gold to dl this demo?

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

Just hope dynasty mode is not as tedious.

Shouldn't be a problem with the new "call" feature.

I was wondering if someone would get into an Ice the Kicker situation....at first, I was worried about it, but I think they did a good job with it.

The current incarnation of HFA is a welcome change from what it was on last-gen, IMO.
.

How is the ice the kicker feature? HFA seems pretty good so far and not overdone. I liked it.


I only got to play about a quarter and a half (had to leave for work) but the game seems like an improvement over '08 and I didn't really see any problems.

I couldn't judge the pass rush or the cpu quick snap, because I got the ball first, scored and on the second play for Ohio State I picked them off and then I had to leave.

So how is the pass rush while on D?

How is the QB Quick Snap?

(From what I have read in this thread, you guys seem to think that they are not a problem)

Im glad they put the mascot game in actually, gives us a chance to see another stadium.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

My only complaint is that I had two freezes and that happened quite a few times with last years version on the 360, I hope the ps3 version doesn't do the same.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

How have you played it? It's not out for PS3 yet.

I also have a 360.

It's standard practice for MS, they do this as a perk for the folks who fork over the cash for a Gold account. It will be available to Silver members in about a week or so.

If you really can't wait you can buy a 1 month Gold membership for $8-9 (I forget exactly how much). If you don't have a credit card, just go to Best Buy/Circuit City/Gamestop and buy a 1 month prepaid XBL Gold card.

There is a one-month card included with GTA4.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

Love the player controls, still need some practice for me to get used to it, it didn't seem overdone at all.

my game had about 5 ints in it. mine were my fault as usual, but the CPU threw some WTF type throws like in '08. just hoping that its the difficulty.

the crowd didn't seem to ever get loud for me.

mascot game is comical. don't think i will play them in the full game though, unless I'm drunk or something.

I'm surprised no one(i don't think i saw anyone commit about it) that the roster for both teams were modified for the demo to make the team a little more even.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

Only played a half before work, but it seemed to flow better than in the past. Wells had a sweet TD against me on a counter. As he countered back left and got around the corner, he shook of my LB, and then stiff armed my DB at the 10. After than he walked in to complete the 25 yd TD. Can't wait to get home and play some more, hopefully the final version is more enjoyable this year.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

Its going to take me some time to get used to the LB receiver(was RB in '08), the throw away on RB(was the right thumb stick in '08), and the new pump fake(was LB in '08). got a few penalties and a few INTs because of it, not to mention a few sacks where i tried to throw it away, but just pump faked instead.

Is that why Ohio State has a LB at fullback? And also it seems they stuck Pryor in as the backup QB as well.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***
