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

I don't care for the demo, However, I didn't care for the demo last year and ended up loving 09. As far as some not being able to not run that's great news to me, these are probably the absolute best defences on the game. If you can run at will then that would be weak.

I usually play linebacker on def, so the pass rush issue doesn't affect me much at all. When I rush only 4 they don't get in to fast, but when only rushing 4 I don't expect them to. Again, remember also 2 of the best O lines also. The gameplay has made leaps for me, the fact that cpu doesn't run out of bounds is big for me. QB play for the cpu is improved and they fixed the OD bugs.

The only problem for me will be the sliders not working, However the Heisman default is pretty damn good. And I'm sure the final code will be slightly better too.

I didn't like the 09 demo that much either (2 minute quarters suck and don't give you a good feel for the game at all imo) and I did really like 09 once I got it. Playing it again is fun but the lack of the cpu deep passing game really hurts 09 along with lousy sliders. I'm not a great player but the cpu offenses are just too poor on AA and Varsity. You jump to Heisman and deal with robo QB but still no deep passing game. Pick your poison.

The 10 demo is so buggy and unpolished that it surprised me. Plus the game is shipping with broken rosters and sliders. What else is broken? Right now I won't buy this game at release. But I'm weak. After the patches come out and I can get confirmation that the sliders work well and there are no glaring problems, I will rent this game and might end up buying it after all. But I really hope we get the old camera as an option as well as the new one is lousy imo.

I'm week too, I can get the game early as always, and I bet I will be here playing the Friday the week before it comes out.

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

I know that I'm one of the few, but I love the demo.

The tackle animations are 10x better, I also like the new breaking out of the sack animations.

This game plays better, IMO. Granted we once again have slider problems, but the rosters have been fixed along with the speed reduction and better animations put in, I'm am definately impressed based off of all the criticizm.

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

Is anybody seeing big hits or hits at all besides the QB sack? The vids I've seen have nothing but hip throws and take downs. I want to see some leather pop that makes you say, "Ooooooooh!" What happened?

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

Has anyone played the demo against another human player, i played my son and ended up with 6 sacks, you get plenty of pressure against a human player. when playing the cpu i dont get any.

[magic247]

Main issues (if you don't want to read the whole thing):
*The cpu defense doesn't flip their plays to align with the offense's strong side...* On a positive note, cpu punting is a factor now, which affects field position (Yes!)

How do I make sure my voice is heard on this one?

In the demo there have been several sim improvements and things that could be worked on. What have you seen?

Good (cpu)- AI wr/db's, AI rb's vision, cpu defensive pre-play player movement, punting (huge plus so far), run blocking, qb decision-making...And I'm sure there are more.

Room for improvement (cpu)- *Disclaimer*- NCAA has always been a great game for me as a sim/coach v. cpu dynasty player. Last year though, I could only play it on ps2 b/c the next-gen version is still developing into what the already established version is. I still wouldve played a dynasty last year, but for one glitch that I haven't heard discussed yet...

*The cpu defense doesn't flip their plays to align with the offense's strong side...*

This means that the left side of the field is always off-balanced when the human player flips their play to the left.

I'm not one for presentation or uniforms really, just semi-realistic gameplay/stats. There's something about trying to achieve videogame sports feats that I love, along with playing the occasional sim game against a sim opponent who appreciates the sport.

The old versions do flip, along with adjust their linemen/linbackers...I just want the cpu to flip their defense to the opposite side when I have my offense stacked to that side.

How do I make sure my voice is heard on this one? Thanks.

Good point!

Other than Receivers getting hit in mid air.. not too many big hitz.

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

From my experiences some of them float way to far out and hang in the air way too long. I haven't seen enough passes that would normally be line drives take an angle for the ground. It seems they all float and hang around forever.

Yes,, I've seen the floating passes after being hit.. I HATE THESE passes, especially when they are caught by the WR, just seems cheap, You knock the crap out of the qb and he still completes the pass?? It can happen, but not very often in real life..Whats EA got against a plain old fashioned incomplete pass?? Behind the rec, at the rec's feet, over the rec's head????

just a errant pass, why all the picks, tip drills, etc?? why doesnt the qb AI throw the ball away more often instead of forcing passes??


with that said.

I am buying this game on day one because with all the madden lover's and their "Madden is way better" talk, this game is a big improvement on 09. Many of the issues from 09 have been fixed, some still remain, but with new features , animations and bringing back create-a-school..this should be a winner..

the roster issues and others are nothing more than the DEV team not taking enough time to properly overhaul and test this game.. they should either hire more people to the dev team or take an extra 6 months to develop and create..

this releasing a game every 10 months thing is just a money grab.

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

Good question. I doubt it. Being able to see all your receivers is nice; having a good view of the action is nicer.

I agree!

How many picks did we throw last year by throwing to that "Blind side" of the field that you couldn't see??

Nice upgrade

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

My wife pointed the same thing out to me... she thinks that my PS3 version this year looks far more appealing than my 360 09 version. I tend to agree

I thought the live action graphics on the ps3 were crap. Cut scenes were fine.
