I guess I'm concerned because Peyton Manning Laser QB has been there in full versions of past years, on all levels....it's no different here, therefore it's probably not different elsewhere either.

Oh well, to each their own...btw, I'm looking forward to Top Spin 3 also...you going with PS3 or 360?

I don't know yet on PS3 vs. 360, I'm on the fence.

The graphics on this demo are stellar, I just wish the gameplay hooked me more. I played NHL 09 and got hooked instantly. I played Skate and was hooked instantly. I played Fifa 08 and was hooked instantly. I played Nascar 09 and was hooked instantly. I play this demo and not so much. Maybe the final product is drastically different, I'm just giving the first impression I'm getting from the demo. Sure, I bet this is the best NCAA yet. Just for whatever reason I'm not getting hooked though.

well im know im late but my impression is that this will be a good football game and I am thoroughly enjoying the demo. Lighting graphics etc are phenomenal. Im seeing some new tackling animations thgat im really digging and I really like the new wide open gameplay even though I still have difficulty moving them how I want with the left stick. They need to tone down the spin a lot.

ok got a second game in.. I liked it better than the first game. TB played much better than TP for the cpu. I still had a pick 6 but that was the only turnover by either team. TB had pressure and underthrew his pass. My DB caught it and went to the house!! I won 17-6.

Honestly if what Adam says is true, that they added 10% new commentary, 5,000 more lines to the existing 50,000 lines, then I doubt you'll do a whole lot better even with no-name guys unless you expect them to re-record the game commentary every single year. As long as they are carrying over commentary from the previous year we all just have to accept that we're going to hear some things again and again and again. I don't think it has anything to do with the current announcing team.

My main areas are commentary, uniforms, and stadiums. I'm planning on starting threads on all 3 when the game is released. Since I am now allowed to work with you guys (finally!) I am going to be leaning on ya to help me fix up these areas. The commentary thread will be getting rid of the stuff that happens way too much and replacing it with much less memorable lines.

I find myself talking with the commentary because I know the line by heart WAY too much. This is one of my area's of concern.

One thing that I am disappointed at.. is the play by play. We made huge changes in how this is triggered and nobody has noticed. All I have seen reaction to is how the post-play is the same. On 08, it was "Takes the snap... looking for a man... fires it... pulls it in... tackled!" That isn't realistic and you won't hear that on 09. Oh well.

I gave up my PS3 early on to someone who needed it more, but the controls should be consistent between both consoles. Try R2 + Up on the R stick.

R2 (if it's what I think you're looking for)

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

i just played my game...had a goal line stand on LSU from the 2...they werent going anywhere. i drove down field went 6-7 98 yards...tried a run but it didnt work. i scored a TD with 3 seconds to go in the half. I then scored another passing TD in the fourth and had a pick 6...but not like last year where it warped to me i actually made a really good play on the ball.


IDK if anyone else noticed this and im sorry if it has been posted but in the playcalling screen its like how it was on the ps2...you can pick a play with L1, square triangle and x even if the cursor is not on it...i thought that was pretty cool.

now that you mention it, i did notice that Brad wasn't so far behind on the play-by-play by stating every single action like in '08. but with the new grass, player models, and player control, i guess it got drowned out.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

by the way I hope this is b/c its varsity but using the spin on kickoff returns make it too easy, I have had 3 returns for a TD and a couple close ones

[Scott]

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I can almost guarantee that its varsity. I'm positive it won't be that easy on AA or Heisman.

This is OS. They don't know how to look for the positive before looking for the negative. They act more like game critics than gamers.
