Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Rent 08, play one game, LSU at OSU. Then download the demo again, play it, then tell me its the same as 08. If you still honestly believe that then I guess this game really isn't for you.

Maybe it isn't. The point is, they're not getting me, and probably other 'new users'. One of my biggest complaints about passing for example is that you don't get to see the ball a lot of the time, why can't they show something so important to the game? - the focal point actually. I don't notice a difference party because I haven't invested a lot of time with it.

I have given it and last years effort and chance though, I;ve played 4 games of this years and probably 8-10 last year.

I guess I'm hoping that madden and ncaa drastically change to get up to speed with other genres, rather than fix 'issues' that were there in previous itterations. Sports this gen have had low expectations and even lower delivery imo.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, if you enjoy it, good for you, but I just don't see the appeal.

Dude has a good point. In NCAA, half the time on passing plays, you cannot see the ball until the very last second. I don't know. Maybe I am wrong about this.

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

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

I saw that earlier, but OMT also said he'd check into it for the final version. The 360 game doesn't do this, and right now, it's the deciding factor for me I regards to which console to get this for. I'd love to get a definitive answer but can't... Frustrating.

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

At first i absolutely did not like the demo. However, it grew on me and i began to like the open style game play. The first thing i'll do once i get the retail PS3 version is change the control layout and have "X" be the speed burst. I'm too much of an old school kind of guy.

I seriously hope they fix this matter. Its almost unbearable to watch passing replays because of it...I just don't understand EA sometimes. Replay is a very important part of presentation & they just seem to find something to mess up on the PS3 version...Sick of feeling slighted graphically, game play wise ext, then listen to all the excuses on why they had to do this or that to make something else work right. I don't see this problem with the 360 but then again I don't own a 360...Space should not be a issue on the PS3 right? shyt!

So has anyone seen any of those cool animations in the demo? Like convoy blocking or tip toeing down the sideline(which in the video, the guy was leaning the wrong way making it look stupid). I've seen the mistaken fumble animation which was pretty cool.

dont think he is going to answer that one i've asked him numerous times with no answer. i asked him yesterday.

how are you again OMT, just wondering if you found anything out about the few glitches i found.

1. QB lining off center, behind the center before snap (not in 360 demo)

2. auto replay (no ball rotation and footsliding) (not in 360 demo).

3. ball disappears while switching ball hand while running. (not so much in the 360 version, but everytime in the ps3 version)

thank again for your hardwork. i really want to get the ps3 version, but if these things dont get fix, i would have to get both version cause the online dynasty league im in. i would like to play my offline dynasty on the better version (360). so it also means i have to get both version of madden also because of draft classes.

which is not that bad since you guys hook me up with $20 per game from EA store.(thank you)

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

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.

Actually OMT, LSU does have the Pistol formation in the demo I have used it. But it seems as if it only shows up in h2h play.

Just clarifying.

I did see the tiptoe on the sideline, that was awesome.

I had two tip toes today and it pissed me off because it allowed the defensive player to catch me from behind.

I saw the convoy blocking last night on a pick-6

The more I play the demo the more I'm liking it. Thats a good sign.

Me too, though I am still a bit hesitant on a day 1 purchase.

Definitely a bit rough along the edges but I will chock that up to being an old build for now. Right now the biggest improvement I am seeing is the ability to throw medium passes down the middle of the field without the linebacker covering short picking it off. As a guy who loves using TE's this is a big plus. Also, corners in man coverage do not seem to leave their man as soon as the ball is thrown to someone else.

Forgive me if someone has already posted this as there are way to many posts here to keep track but I did notice that after a touchdown pass to my TE, I told you I like TE's, his face disappeared. The helmet was there but that was it.
