So color me impressed, at least in terms of the player movement. For the first time to me it feels like the players are actually on the field. Pass defense feels more responsive, everything feels good. I played 2 games on the 2 min quarters and neither were scored outside of 20 total points.

First play, I ran back a kick-off return. woot!!!

So far, much better then last years ver. from what I have seen. I like how you can really control your guy more so then ever.

Giddy up! Go EA!

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

The field looks better than last year, however, I want to see a grass field on the game now as well. What was the latest on field degradation?

Still, fun demo to play, and now I'll do the demo, then do 08 on Varsity, two minute quarters, then over and over, really get a feel for other changes.

I like some of the new animations where the RB is falling forwards fighting for yards. At least I think they're new, only rented 08.

The only thing I'm really concerned about is the unstoppable QB's. In my last game I was LSU and Boeckman went 17/17, was 7/7 on the last drive and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. Threading the needle almost every play. And this is on friggen varsity. PLEASE have the sliders work this year.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

My only gripe so far after 3 or 4 demo games is with the CPU QB's deadly accuracy. In those games, the CPU threw a blistering 95% against me. For the most part, I felt completely defenseless against the throws that were made. Just not enough time to react to the ball for me in controlling the defender near the intended receiver. The human pass defense just seems extremely inept with guys not reacting to the ball until the receiver has already made the catch in alot of cases I know it's not my skills, because this was not the situation for me in 08!!!

Being on the Varsity setting, you'd think that the CPU should be a little less God-like, wouldn't you??? Oh well, here's to hoping that the sliders or change in difficulty have some affect on this

yeah I even took control of a CB and stepped in front of a pass for an INT for 6 manually...in past next-gen games the slight delay when i took control of the guy would have blown the int..

try out the demo with the mascots to try a different field...not sure if it's at texas or florida but don't both have grass anyways?

Let's just hope the QB accuracy slider works in the full version. IIRC, according to some of the guys at the EA Community Day, lowering this slider seemed to slow down the CPU offensive wizardry on AA and Heisman.

I hear ya bro' but honestly i'd prefer a challenging CPU who completes too many than in the past, an incompetent CPU who completes about 30% or whatever and throws too many interceptions to boot.

You can play the Mascot game because it takes place at The Swamp which currently has grass.

The time of day the demo takes place is hard to see the difference between grassy turf and natural grass. I think it will be more defined in the Retail version.

So far really enjoying the demo I think the flow of the game is light years ahead of 08. Waiting for the PS3 demo to drop to figure out which version I will be getting this year.

This is going to be the best update in some time, with the Demo, the MGS database, and a new Hotshots course.
