FYI, I think it was mentioned before, but to the people saying the AI shouldn't be able to call back to back timeouts, that is NOT the rule in NCAA (NFL only)... although i don't understand why it is happening so often in the game, and I think the frequency is a glitch, it is NOT illegal in NCAA. (michigan state did this to PSU last year late in the 4th quarter when down by 30+ points and 3rd stringers on the field, much to the chagrin of the crowd standing in 10 degree weather).

But still, it makes no sense for the AI to be doing it when they do, so I do think there is a glitch involved.

Ok the more I play it the more I can't stand those shaky camera angles, maybe some of you guys like it or think it's cool or etc etc..but it irritates the hell out of me.

I didn't like them, it doesnt zoom in enough. I also think the game catches too many of the over the shoulder catches, uses that animation too much.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

probably been mentioned somewhere, but did anyone hear lee corso's audio at the end of the game where he messes up and starts over. is that planned or is it a mistake? just heard it thought it was weird

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

This game is just like I predicted it to be around March when I said the weekly updates were weak and after playing the demo I realized this game could have killed if it wasnt so fast paced. They should have slowed it down like the madden team did.

There are killer new animations that make the gameplay look better but the speed takes away from the beauty of the animations.

The no presentation is killing me the game that needed it the most didnt get nothing no refs, no chain gain, and even no coaches on the sideline not even a fake coach???

The only thing that tells you this is 10 instead of 09 is....

Well the rosters changed, there is a net, and after the play the players celebrate closer to the camera but the exact same celebrations didnt add a one that was different.

Overall this game will be a good enough buy if they celebrate after wins and loses and for God sakes a national championship celebration. If this dont make it in there is really no need to buy this just rent for the draft classes thats if you dont want to use the cool draft classes madden has created.

Really the game has made some changes but it really isnt enough to get truly excited about its truly the same game with a few new animations(which are great).

Wow this video has it all... the run and chuck, the 10 yard dropback from the gun, throwing deep back across the QBs body perfectly accurate, not to mention the rocket catches... but my favorite is at 2:10, when he initially runs right with no problem 15 yards behind the LOS, chucks it effortlessly 50 yards downfield to the left across his body into double coverage and rocket catches it for a 1st and goal. Good to see this stuff is back.

Okay I here a lot about no pass rush or pocket being in this game. Well I was playing around with the demo on D, This is what I did to get the pocket and pass rush to <NOBR>work</NOBR> everytime! when you're doing defensive assignments Hold LT and you can pick run(right,Left,Middle) and pass! when you do this it really ups the pass rushing. It is like it tells the computer to pin there ears back and go. Try it out.

I have held off responding to this thread for as long as I could but I think it's time to say a few things. Put me in the minority but I PREFER THE DEMO OVER THE 09 VERSION! Yes, I admit it, I enjoy the game very much and here is why.

Well done:
The band
Game planning
better stat overlays
L2 Defense philosophy (what's it called again???)
mix and match uniforms
penalty frequency
injury frequency
new injury system
bowl endzone art
cpu QB deep throws
player lock (I love it!)
the new camera angle
field goal nets

Yes, the pass rush for the gamer is terrible (but cpu pass rush is very strong). I am still choked about no FORMATION SUBS, NO REFS, AND NO EDITABLE PLAYBOOKS but overall I am really enjoying playing the demo. Originally I said I would not buy the demo without formation subs... I may change my mind if the rosters and cpu pass rush get fixed.

I can guarantee you that this isn't on Heisman and probably not on All-American. The first thing I did when I downloaded the demo is try all of that on the Heisman and I couldn't be regularly successful with those tactics. On the RC's the "wrap swat" was very effective and the DE's never let me drop back more than 10-15 yards. One time with Tebow I was able to drop back about 25 yards, but I was quickly sacked when I tried to get outside the Tackles.

Agreed. One of the first things I did was try and scramble arund with Tebow. The D is much tougher on Heisman this year than it was on 09.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I played the demo again and still can't see why people hate it so much. It's a solid video game. The new animations are pretty sweet and make every play seem original.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I played one game on the demo on Heisman as Florida.

I noticed an awful lot of 15 yard facemask penalties every time I went to tackle an OU ball carrier or receiver.

Did anyone else get a lot of these?

Did you set your defense to be really aggressive? I play my defense conservative always and rarely get penalties.

In the 2nd half, every catch the CPU made was an over shoulder catch it was ridiculous..doesn't matter I'll still get it..just I found alot of annoying details in this demo.

Yeah, I did set it to aggressive.

I just didn't realize that aggressive playcalling would come with an assload of penalties.
