I'm sure most will disagree with my opinion of the demo but I played it for the first time last night (PS3) and wasn't overly impressed. To me the gameplay feels a little fast and I didn't feel like I had a lot of control over my players. There were some nice new animations added and I can definitely see a lot of positives with this year's game just from the brief demo, but overall it didn't feel as solid to me as MLB and even College Hoops, and everyone knows they have their imperfections.

Actually I was rather disappointed, being a huge college football fan. I could have a different opinion once the actual game is out, but for now I can say that I could live with 08 for the PS2 and be remotely satisfied, even if there were no 09 for the PS3. In saying that, I will still pick up my copy when it's released and probably feel different once I can change the teams and level, but for me the demo was just so-so. Which that is something that can be expected from an 8 minute demo game because it is exactly what it says......a demo.
