Aight I have to tell the truth here I'm glad you all like the demo for the most part that's great. On the flip side this demo is horrible compared to the game that I played at community day.

This build has to be old maybe its from the NYC event, but I know for a fact that this isn't the same game. I have scored over 60 points in every game on this demo. The big give away is the option its broken in the demo, in contrast the build we played at community day the option was spot on money.

There are about 5 or 6 other dead give aways in this demo as well but no need to scare the hell out of everybody.

If you like this demo you are going to love this real game. But for me this demo is not a representation of the game we played at community day at all.

Well, I'm glad I caught this post, because I really don't care for the demo much at all. I've played four games, and the CPU hasn't scored once. There hasn't been a single deep pass - I don't even recall a single medium pass. The game speed on the demo seems to be a bit slower, which I like, but the game just seems dull, boring even. I'm going to delete the demo, read your post a few more times, and forget that I ever played it. Thanks for giving me some hope, because this demo really killed the spirit I had just yesterday.

Looking forward to playing the REAL game, that you mentioned in your post.

C'mon man. If the demo let you down to the point you are going to delete it why in the world do you feel the retail version will satisfy you. It's not going to be that drastic of a change so might as well come to grips with that. I'm going to play the crap out of this demo until the retail version comes out. This is going to be a very solid football game.

Anyone else sick of the tackle animation where the ball carrier flys in the in air and lands on his back. Looks like he got hit in the gut with a cannon ball. They finally get rid of the Shot in the Back tackle but it looks like this one (which is just as bad IMO) seems to have replaced it.

On the plus side, it is the only bad tackle animation I have seen. (but I do see it an awful lot).

Just DL'ed both 360 and PS3 versions and judging by the demos I'm gonna go with the 360 version again this year.

Actually it is I don't know if I will ever be able to say that again, but this demo can't even be in the same room with the retail version of the game. Now don't get me wrong the finished version still has its share of issues (pass rush, kick offs, excessive drop backs, etc...)

But its a very good game this demo is trash to me. In the demo the option is broken, the juke animations are stiff/laggy, the speed is off, the kick off %%$^%%$ is still in there, the yellow zones don't work (thats why the middle of the field is wide open all the time) etc...... You should be able to score 50 in the demo without even trying.

I will stop there now don't take this as a stamp of approval on the finished game everyone should still play it for themselves, but I wouldn't put a ton of weight in the demo if you don't like it.

Anti might not like the retail version either and its his decision to make just like yours. However I would give this demo a 3 and the game I played at community day a solid 8.5 based on gameplay alone. When we get that patch I think the game will be a 9. I'm just saying for those of you who don't dig the demo there is hope.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I too have returned at least one pick for 6 in every demo game I have played so far. This has me a tad concerned.

Can we please put this no pass rush thing to rest? I've played at least 5 demo games and there is PLENTY of pass rush in every single game both on my end and the cpu's end. In addition to that the game videos i've seen on the internet have pass rush. I don't know why this continues to be mentioned???

I hate that animation. Also, the one where 2 defenders seem to gang tackle the ballcarier, but for some reason they seem to jump into the tackle. It just looks weird. The speed of the tackle is odd too.
