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

When it says GO CELEBRATE WITH THE MASCOT what do I do to get that to work? I tried pressing X while I was over near the Brutus but my player didn't do anything...is it like Mortal Kombat where you have to press it real quick?

And for anyone that knows - when you get out in the open and are running for a TD how do you highstep or prounce about like a horses @ss?

just run up to your mascot and it "should" trigger it automatically

i can't get enough of the crip-walking LSU Tiger.

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

OMT, can you comment on this? I sure hope we get to hear a lot of the fight songs, and loud, too. It would severely kill the atmosphere if we didn't. That's one of the main things that separates college from the pros.

You're not hearing fight songs at all?

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

OMG, last play of the game, I have the ball on my own 40 and i'm up by 7 so I figure, put Pryor in and let's see how he does on a scramble. So I call Hail Mary which gives me some "open field"...snap the ball...roll out, pump fake...start running upfield.

Now honestly I think I'll get about 20 yards before I get tackled and that is right about where I meet up with a bunch of LSU guys, well I got a couple of good blocks, had a couple of guys to beat, did a slight shake to the left, cut back to the right......one LSU guy dives and he hits Pryor's knee and nearly causes him to fall down, but Pryor maintains his balance.....keeps on going and then breaks free and runs in the last 20 odd yards....then I ran and celebrated with the mascot!!

WOW THAT WAS CRAZY SICK!! And now I'm headed back to work, LOL. What a crazy ending to a game. Talk about wide open gameplay. Pryor is awesome fun to play with. I was whining earlier in a thread about his speed being 87 or whatever but I think his speed is perfect, he's def. fast but not so much it unbalances things. Great job on that EA.

Thanks, that worked!

Do you know how to high step on a breakaway run?

I've been playing this for too many hours now and I am really encouraged about how this game might play on higher difficulty levels. It's far from perfect but overall it is as good a football videogame that we've seen in a while. I really feel like there gameplay is a good balance in the gameplay.

I can hear them, however I think the band volume is at about 5 on a scale of 100, and in the demo we cannot adjust the volumes, so that is why some people might not be able to hear it.

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

I am so happy to hear such positive impressions. I was still worried in the back of my mind that it wouldn't be that good. Looks like this is the year for EA. If this game is as good as people are saying (and I'll find out tonight) then just think what Madden will be.

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

OMT, can you all fix the Dlinemen stances before the game comes out? If not, maybe in a patch. It just looks really weird to me. I cant believe no one else has caught this yet. Its the equivalent of corners standing straight up . It throws off the look of the game, and this game is so close to really being the greatest football experience Ive had.

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

Had a weird glitch where on a kickoff return return I did the stutter step and my player got stuck with the animation repeating over and over, I could still move him but he kept stutter stepping to the left, the really odd thing was that he couldn't be tackled and I fought him from stutter stepping out of bounds all the way to a TD.

I really can't remember the last time in an EA football game I had an equal amount of fun playing on both sides of the ball.

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

Thanks for posting this, I can't wait to get home and try this thing out.

Love the hit in the second vid. I wonder if the returners eyes got big as he was finishing the spin move?

Off topic question for you coogrfan...What do you think of Kevin Kolb (try to be unbiased if you can )? I'm a huge Eagles and wondering how this kid is going to be in the future.

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

The lighting looks amazing. Can any buckeye fan confirm this is accurate for a six o'clock game. I just knocked out boeckman and sacked pryor on his first pass. Boeckman came back and threw a td pass on me. No nets after field goals. Oh well. Perriloux is the starting qb for lsu. Ended up losing 14-10 and heard the crowd cheering "overrated" with about 15 seconds left to go. The cheerleaders looked ok I guess but I had the lack of an injury animation. They still lay on the ground. I'll be getting this game regardless. Seeing most of the horse shoe in all red has my hype to bring the wolverines in there.

I actually haven't tried. it was "B" in '08, so i guess it would be the same.

i almost had a convoy celebration animation start on a kickoff return, had 3 guys out front, but a defender came from the side and dove-tackle me.
