Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Thanks for the headsup, downloading as we speak.

Are all the games you folks played high scoring?

Ive played 3 games now.

I've scored no more than 17 in any of them. The CPU has gotten no more than 17. Two on AA, one on Heisman.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

game feels refreshing.

i think the OL/DL play is sort of cinematic, i could not break off those blocks at all --- needs adjusting..

greatest moment so far- the gators needed a Td to tie they got a 50 yd bomb to the back of the end zone JUMP BALL STYLE what made this moment so crazy was the Wr stayed in bounds the entile play strafing looking at the ball.

maybe its me not seeing this before BUT i have always seen them run out of bounds then magically come back in to make a play.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Anyone else feel like the passing feels funny? Its like there are only two trajectories the ball can go. One deep and the other a bullet which you feel you have no control over. Almost frantic without dline pressure.

Yep. The more I play it, the more glaring the weaknesses are showing.

This game needs polishing in the gameplay department. Its also a bitch running the ball.

Not surprised since it a demo. Probably a few iterations away from the final product.

Looks like they cannibalized Madden 09 to create NCAA 10.

In brief: I've been getting good pass pressure (on both sides of the ball) but CPU playcalling is still suspect. Too many runs on third and long.

i gotta disagree with you on this, this is all i have been doing since i got the demo is pass to see if passing has more than 2 options and i am getting great passes.

i dont think its a skill issue, just that you gotta play it to get a feel for whats possible there is some options in there man, keep playing

Agreed 100%. Felt it was a reskinned Madden 09 from the moment I started playing it.

I like that its hard to run.

Yeah, i've been trying to get that third little lob over the middle but it won't get off the rail.
Oh, I just called a timeout to freeze the kicker and when you come out of it the cpu still instant kicks. No time to pick who you want at all.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Also: Using player lock I came this close to blocking a FG.

Looks promising.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Enjoying the movement of the players as you control them. Not as fast as it looked in the vids.

Re: Official NCAA Football 10 Demo Impressions

Their beloved Field Goal nets are more like brick walls. They're stiff going up(Beavis laugh) and they dont give way when the ball hits them. Not that it's a big deal, but you'd think as much as they hyped this BIG new addition, they'd of done it better.

MY opinion is that it feels a little faster than last year. And it seems like they did alot of work on "follow throughs" at the end of plays. The way players move and flow after a play. That and some other subtle new animations(or so I think). I dunno, It just really helped add a little more realism to it...for me.

My game had 8 injuries....on MY team, and 2 on theirs. Which is pretty bad, but atleast Erin Andrews made it all better. I mean, she SAID "Brad" but I could tell she was totally talking to me.

Anyway, I know I'm excited for it, then again I'm easy to please. Can't wait to see how my Eastern State Timberwolves do.

Place at the table! WWWWOOOOOO!!!!!
