NCAA Football 09 Beta Questions: Day 1

[Steve_OS]

Under the circumstances I was faced with over the past week, I haven't been able to play the game as much as I would like, but if you have a question, post it here. Later this evening I will answer as many of them as I can.

FYI, the readers that have their mini-avatars setup, will have a better chance of having their question answered.

*Comments closed, look for some of the answers later this evening. I'll have another setup tomorrow. Get your mini-avatar setup now and be ready for tomorrow.

Thanks Steve...How is the OL/DL interaction while on All-American or Heisman? Also a quick question, Is GJ Kinne (former UT QB) in the game for Tulsa?

[nstod]

Have you seen a ridiculous amount of INT's and Pick-6's?

[Solidice]

i know it has been mentioned as being in the game by some, but never confirmed, is Formation Subs in the game this year? maybe even a screen shot to prove?

Thanks Steve I think the vids answered most of the questions I have.

I have just a couple of questions about the playbooks & commentary. Have you noticed anything new?

[Skyboxer]

Can you see If the CPU AI quick snapping the ball every play is in fact there? So far in the vids the only time they don't is when they either audible or send a man in motion. Every other play the ball is snapped as soon as the QB gets set.
This makes making any D reads and adjustments obsolete.

(Or will it be a non issue and won't be that way in the final build?)

Thanks

Just set up my mini-avatar.

1) Option game - Is it too easy to run the option (AA or Heisman difficulty)? Last year, I felt it was either a loss of 2 yards or at least a 25 yard gain. Especially with the speed option and slot option plays.

2) CPU QB - How is the CPU QB AI on All-American? Does the QB throw deep ever? How about throwing into triple coverage?

3) DB play - How are the DB animations? Do they always sky-rocket to the ball to swat it down or does it look more realistic?

Thanks!

As seen in the recent videos, there seems to be a lot of new plays in the game this year. Many of which were in the old-gen last year. This is a good thing because the passing plays were weak and had very little variety on the 360/PS3 the past 2 years.
