I just had the weirdest glitch ever for the PS3 version. I was playing with Ohio St. in overtime and the play calling screen just randomly didn't show up for my last offensive series. I could hear the cursor moving from play to play, but I couldn't see what play I was calling.

I ended up calling three passing plays in a row, and missed on all of them, so I had to kick a FG for the win. So it's 4th down and my kicker gets ready and everything, but the kicking meter never showed up! I had to guess on when to push the thumbstick up to kick the ball, but I ended up nailing a 43 yarder for the win.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? Sorry if it has, I didn't want to read through this whole thread.

Guys, if they can't even put progressive lighting in, what makes you think they could have a SECOND commentary team.

Although, one of the reasons why I loved NFL 2k5 so much was because of Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keeffe. They are voice actors who were good enough to sound pro. They brought a lot of life into the game, and they had some amazing banter. They were perfect because they did have a lot of time to record new lines and to voice their emotions just right for certain game situations. That's why the pros in broadcasting don't sound good in video games, because they are two different arenas.

Although again, Chris Collinsworth is sounding really good so far for Madden 09. We'll see if he's worth it.

Yeah, I've had it happen to me three times now. I was hoping it was just a download glitch, but now I'm not so certain...

i'm playing the mascot game now, hilarious stuff man..

are you playing as the gator, when you score a TD and run up to the mascot gator in the back of the end zone, they will stand in front of each other and it looks like they are making out.

that and the way they line up at the LOS with their tails up in the air and nose in the ground. lol

They can do progressive lighting, it was in last year's game.

Sounds like you just like Taketwo football better. I have no idea what made you think this demo would change your mind.

LOL. I dont really know what so LOL. Just LOL.


anyway, I havent had any glitches and Ive had just about as much fun as you can have with a demo. Im not saying im 100% buying the game yet but I havent seen anything to deter me from buying it. I def like the way the game feels when running.

also is homefield advantage back where the screen shakes? i swear I saw a screen on the demo that said homefield advantage.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Not sure this has been brought up yet (dont want to search 52 pages), but how is the pre-game presentation? Is there a preview of the game? Players? Weekly show like in CH 2k8? Is there a in-game ticker of other scores? Has anyone tried playing a CPU vs CPU game? What were the scores? Thanks in advance.

But not in this years game. There was honestly nothing wrong with what they had, but they have to go and change it.

See, I know the pattern with EA. You put in a feature one year, take it away two years later, and two years after that you put it back in and say it's brand new. Progressive lighting, Hardest stadiums to play in, the works.

I'm not saying it's a bad money making strategy, I'm just saying that they can't stick to one thing and create more new things to justify sales.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Alright, after 6 games (4 as LSU and 2 as OSU):

**I have only seen one INT for either team and that me throwing it directly to the waiting LB on a crossing route. Dumb throw. CPU still hasn't throw an INT. I'm actually shocked and I probably just jinxed myself.

A few impressions:

- Carrying the ball in open space is just a blast. Man, have I missed this feeling the past two years on next-gen.

- User catching is much more responsive than last year, but it doesn't feel cheap at all. It has made the passing game more fun as well. Battling for the deep ball is much better than the past 2 years of NCAA.

- QB in the pocket feels a lot better than in previous years. However, the throwing animation is bad because of the way the ball comes out. Overall the CPU QB is far too accurate with his throws. I saw a couple of under/over throws, but still Boeckman or Perrilloux shouldn't complete 80% pass attempts.

- The DBs have attitude after they shut down the pass. I like it! I feel like I'm playing vs. da U or FSU back in the day.

- I love the player models and numerous animations on both sides of the ball. Running, tackling, catching, etc. Although, there are still too many WWE tackles and too many defenders jump to make a tackle.

- Ball physics are not that good. Tipped passes look odd for some reason.

- I saw the CPU miss a 37 yd FG. The old gen people that made the switch will love to hear that after playing '07 & '08 (rudyjuly and fistofrage, I'm talking to you).

Overall, for a demo, I really like what I see. I can't wait for the final build. Oh, and I LOVE the playbooks!

No real pregame, Kirk just goes over a player and Brad introduces you to the game. There is no ticker (that I saw), and we won't know about shows until the game comes out (although I wouldn't get my hopes up).
