Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

i agree, the fact that I'm hearing the exact same kirk/corso lines from 06/07/08 is really dissapointing. You could of done better than this EA. This truly is becoming same s*it, different year + minor tweaks.

Not to mention the option is still broke as hell as i've been able to pitch it 3-4 times while laying on my back.

Well maybe if you'd take the time to read the QA threads AND responses in this thread you'd actually see this option was addressed and fixed. This build is before the fix was made.
I guess that's asking too much......

I've been playing NCAA 09 this morning and it plays out 10 times better than 08. I am extremely disappointed that it is still not in HD resolution (1080i/p). That alone makes me not want to buy it. but I most likely will. EA needs to serve up some 1080 resolution in there pS3 verion next year.

So will this demo be available for XBL Silver members on the 26th then?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

That way it will look like EA made the durastic changes everyone was complaining about. I bet they strategically planned the demo to be an earlier version.

I could be wrong but the probable reason is once a demo is made and "tested" it has to go through the verification process with EA and then MS/Sony. So basically if we were to get a build closer to the final product we'd probably end up not getting it until the week of or after the retail version hits stores. Then people would bitch about no demo coming out soon enough.

Just my take....

EDIT: Nevermind. Already posted earlier as to demo process

Re: Can't download from PS Store

For some reason, although I have a high-speed connection, my PS3 is really slow when it comes to downloads - I think it's the way my network is set up.

But anyway, if it's available on a website somewhere I could download it at work and burn it to DVD, then put the DVD in the PS3 and start from there. I've seen the download for the XBOX360 version, but not for PS3. The PS3 store lists it as a download but doesn't have a link to download it. Is it available anywyere?

The 360 demo on my setup downloaded in about 15 minutes.
The PS3 version on same network took over 1 hr.

Yeah that's it. It us who have issues. Bottom line is if you think this demo is that bad then fine, whatever. You've said your peace which none of it was constructive at all just basic "Follow the Troll Handbook" crap.
In any case fine. You don't like it. See you around... However I'm sure you'll continue to post in here even though you hate it soooo much and wont be getting the game......

That's trolling and that post has been reported.

Question

Does anybody else have bars/lines on their TV when playing the demo? I checked my other games and didn't see them, so im not sure if its the demo or my TV.

Those are called yard lines.

But seriously, no I don't have any extra lines on my demo.

Re: Can't download from PS Store

I'm liking it more and more as I adjust to the controls and feel of player movement. I've had some great passes down the sideline that fit right in between to defenders that I probably wouldn't have tried last year.

Here are some things I hope are tweaked for next year or am somewhat concerned about:

-I think the ball travels too fast. Especially on short passes it's almost impossible to switch to a defender and react fast enough to make a play.

-I do agree there seems to be a lack of burst at the LOS from the backs. I still have decent success in the running game using power and cutbacks, I just hope this doesn't limit speed backs.

-Jumping catches feel overpowered and too easy to pull off. It doesn't seem to matter what position you're in in relation to the ball since you'll just quickly spin around no matter what.

-Please get rid of Jump the Snap next year. What a terrible feature.

NCAA sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a serious note I really thought the demo was nice. Once EA steps up the presentation, player interaction, and they give us the ability to create schools I'll be content and anything extra will be icing on the cake.

It seems like it moves slower to me.

I can actually make a play on the ball
without feeling like there is a 90% chance of totally botching it and giving up a TD.

-I think the ball travels too fast. Especially on short passes it's almost impossible to switch to a defender and react fast enough to make a play. I totally agree with you on this. I think the ball travels just a tad too fast on the dink and dunk passes and is in the air forever on the deep ball.

-I do agree there seems to be a lack of burst at the LOS from the backs. I still have decent success in the running game using power and cutbacks, I just hope this doesn't limit speed backs. Once you get Trindon Holliday the ball, you will realize what speed looks like in NCAA 09. I can't wait to see Percy Harvin because they have the same speed and acceleration ratings. I had Holliday come in after LaFell got hurt. That dude flies with the ball in his hands. Wow! I like that fast/quick guys feel faster/quicker than the average RB or WR.

-Jumping catches feel overpowered and too easy to pull off. It doesn't seem to matter what position you're in in relation to the ball since you'll just quickly spin around no matter what. I think I will have to agree with you on this. The more I played last night, the easier it became.

-Please get rid of Jump the Snap next year. What a terrible feature.

My thoughts in bold.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Ok, I've played about 9 games of that demo and the one glaring issue that is annoying the crap out of me is the fact that super stud D linemen like Tyson Jackson for LSU are not NEAR the factor they should be on the line.

I want to see D line interaction like this....

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YE2y_ypR9wQ&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YE2y_ypR9wQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

In the demo, if I bring a 4 man rush here is the normal routine each snap. Now not EVERY snap, but the majority of them go something like this....

1. 2 of my 4 down linemen get put on their butts within 2 seconds by the O line.
2. 2 of them get in the "suction lock" with linemen and can't break out of it.

What's funny is if its a run play, the interaction is great. I can use a swim move and get by the center/guard, etc. But if its a pass play, it's like my linemen are facing the Berlin Wall.

1 out of every 7 snaps or so, I'll get a nice penetration move from either my DE or a DT, but honestly, that is way too low, especially when dealing with the talent that Buckeyes and Tigers have on their line.

To add to my worry..this is on VARSITY. It should be even easier to get pressure on this difficulty level. If the O line is this good on Varsity, it will damn near be impenetrable without a sell out blitz on AA or Heisman most likely. Hopefully not, but you would assume so.

This is my #1 "oh please let sliders help with this" wish for this year. Other than that, it's a thing of beauty.
