Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Finally got a chance to dl the demo, last night. I wasn't blown away by it, but there are obvious improvements and it should be another great year for NCAA. By the way, is strafing not working in the demo?

Anyone notice players legs shaking vigorously while they are walking at times? Almost like there legs are trying to separate from there bodies or something ? I hope this is fix...Also late evening games dont always look like that. The orangish color is off setting the color.

Re: ***OFFICIAL NCAA 09 Demo Discussion & Impressions***

I was impressed by the spread additions to LSU's playbook (though it is missing the pistol formation).

One time when I was playing as tOSU, LSU lined up in the pistol formation when they entered the red zone. But when I played as LSU, they didn't have the pistol in their playbook. Maybe they didn't add the full playbooks for each team in the demo.

The only problem I have is that Ryan Perrilloux is still LSU's QB. I almost certain whoever does the rosters this year will take him out.

Ehhh..I dont know..I feel kind of underwhelmed. i did notice that I was able to control my MLB wihtout being insta suctioned. i'd usually have to back the Lb up a caouple of yards.

I just didnt really see anything all that "new"..same hyper blitzes, still able to pitch the ball accurately while getting creamed..still able to sprint out at will with little loss of accuracy when throwing downfield on a dead run..

thos have always been my biggest pet peeves.

Read through the read and you'll see what won't be in the retail. Example is the option pitch IS fixed in the retail version.

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.

Does that happen with movies? Do you pay less to see a movie since Burger King paid a cool 10 million in advertising throughout the film?

Does that happen at the stadiums? Since Coke paid 20 million to be the official sponsor of soda for MLB, do you pay less for soda? Your ticket?

Same thing here.

What I'm saying is the ads shouldn't be in there at all. I mean it serves no purpose. It's a video game. And one WE'RE paying for. Heck for $60 they should put our names on the stadium.

Yet if they weren't there we'd get "Why can EA add realistic sponsors?"

Yes they most certainly should, real sporting events have ads and if you want realism then you should want the game to look like the real thing.

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

That would be easy... I mean, it is ONLY a 50 megabyte excel book.

hes not in the game for the final build. demo is from an old build before they went back through the rosters and made changes.

I posted about this yesterday. That isn't a pistol formation... it is a shotgun play where the QB is a step closer than the other shotgun plays.

The Pistol formation is in the retail version for LSU.

Did we get an official word on thrown ball rotation in PS3 replays?

I think the answer was that they drop frames in replays and the rotating ball is one of them.
