Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I am not a LSU fan, but aren't they going to try to get the ball in his hands a lot this season? Definitely more than 6th WR! Maybe in a "Harvin" type role? BTW is he the fastest player in the game? I believe he set the NCAA record for the 100m dash, if I am not mistaken.

Anyway back to the game, I really wished they would change the way the play calling screen changes. Sometimes when I just ran a play from a shotgun formation,when it goes back to the play call screen it defaults back to ACE formation, it's annoying.

Also does anyone know if these depth chart bugs have been fixed: 1. The game placed the highest rated player at every position, for example many LT, even G would be at the top of the depth chart for TE.
2. Also this made the return chart extremely messed up, with usually the starting RB being the top PR and KR.

Just the overall difficulty in the depth charts, it was so frustrating last year, hopefully they fixed some of it.

I'd hope the depth chart gets fixed....last years was so annoying having a bruiser runningback like PJ Hill returning kicks....also teams fabricate players speed, height and weight all the time....so for Trindon to be the fastest player ever in NCAA history...i dunno...he's probably one of the fastest but there's always an argument for being the fastest ...and i'm sure he is the fastest on the LSU team.

I have a problem with some of the WR 's catching a pass and trying to put two feet in bounds when there's still 5 yards separating them and the sidelines........this needs to be fixed....if he'd stay on his feet he could get another 5 yards or so ...

I believe that Trindon Holliday and Percy Harvin are the two fastest players in the game. There maybe another one or two players that have similar acceleration in the game, but I think Percy and Trindon were ranked 98 in speed.

What about Jeffrey Demps (incoming freshman at Florida)? He just ran a 10.03 (wind-aided) in the 100m!

They are very agile. Did you see some of the jukes they can do?!

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

demo is getting easy, last game, 19-0. Anyone getting maybe a bit too many interceptions?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Just DLed it and played my first game. Smashed LSU 18-3. It's only on Varsity, so I can't fault the difficulty. It was fun, but it reminds me a lot of last year's game. Looks great. I'm considering it, but I have to see what Madden and Top Spin look like before I take the plunge. Very sharp overall on first impression. I have to play a lot more to really get into it though.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Just found one very weird glitch. If you turn the ball over in overtime and commit a penalty on the return, the team that was on defense first will get two attempts to score. The first attempt will start at whatever yardline the penalty would have been applied to, and the second drive will start at the 25. They scored on both drives and ended up winning 20-7 in OT.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

maybe its just me, but i've noticed the toss plays going much slower now, along with pitches. the tosses in themselves have caused numerous turnovers for me because the cpu has a man coming in between the rusher and the qb. it just cost me a game and is seriously getting annoying.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I rocked Ryan P #11 of Lsu a couple of times. He had lost composure I assume and over threw his RB on a toss play. I also like the chest bump and High five animations on the T.Ds
James Laurenitis is a beast I jacked up a Wr trying to bobble a catch.
I read 100+ pages of demo impressions, I began playing the game looking for the problems. Instead I enjoye d It even more. Ive played atleast 3x times a day. So FYI, If you hate the game Stop playing because it will only get better haha.

Coke Zero?

Come on, "the coin toss sponsored by Coke Zero?" This is really disturbing all this product placement. I know you feel you have to be "realistic" but it's bad enough we have things like the "Overstock.com first-and-ten line" or "The Papajohns.com Bowl" in the real game. But PLEEEEASE can't we keep it out of the video game? Geez.

Re: Coke Zero?

I dunno. I kinda like all the product placement stuff.

(And don't kid yourself - they're not there for "realism" - they're actual ads, my man.)

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I haven't read all 106 pages, but is anoyone else kinda pissed about all the ads in the game? I don't mind Old Spice red zone and such but a Coke Zero ad when I make a defensive switch is crossing the line.

Yep! I just posted on that very same topic. If they're going to do that, at least have those sponsors subsidize the game so it costs us less.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Ha! That isn't new. Actually, I've never heard it! But I can tell you it isn't new to 09.

This is the tough thing with commentary. We have all these lines for things that will not happen very often. However, we also have lines for things you will do every game. Those are the ones that are repetitive and give commentary that "same ol same ol" feel.

One thing we did this year was go through the script and identify the most common situations. Then we removed any lines that were memorable and recorded a bunch of extra lines to give it more variety.

My main focus this year was on play by play... the Brad Nessler stuff. This guy is a real pro and is great in the recording booth.

I have plans for improving the Kirk and Lee stuff on 2010.

Can we get a list/database of ALL the commentary lines? HAHA
