one word same game just enough changes to lure everyone in. How can ea keep doing this the lack of atmosphere, sidelines are horrible, qiurky animations. That injury thing of rolling around on ground is horrid. Sorry guys sam game just a few more textures.

Is it worth downloading? I've been spoiled by APF 2K8 gameplay but I am definitely not happy with it's lack of franchise but recent EA football games have blown major ball's

The play-by-play and commentary, no doubt, is old... but I like hearing these guys. It's the least of the problems with presentation IMHO. To me, the problem with presentation has to do more with the atmosphere and some of the little (or big) things that they can add to make it more like a college game.... team entrances, more tv style replays (maybe with toggle to allow user to decide few or more, and a button to bypass), appropriate cutscenes or pans to players on the field or on the sidelines, fans in the crowd, the head coach, etc., pre-game, halftime, or post game show (again w/ ability to bypass for those that don't want to watch). Being a person that plays 95% single player dynasty mode, it's very important to me that they upgrade the presentation... and very soon (NCAA 2010). Right now, the presentation level is below LG, IMO and they need to top that.

Also guys this is an older version of the game its not the same one we played at Community Day two dead give aways.

1. Ryan P. is still on LSU's roster he was taken out of our builds rosters.

2. The kickoff coverage isn't the same. For instance just catch the ball stand still for a couple of seconds and then sprint towards the sideline you should be able to return a decent number or kicks for TD's.

In our build they fixed this but it has a negative effect as well. While you can't do the above. The side effect is that damn near all kick off returns will get to the 35 to 45 yardline.

Well said- I mainly play SP as well. Great presentation can take a good series to the next level, like College Hoops. One reason I got bored real quick (among others) with APF was the absolute lack of presentation.

Look at the Show for instance- you have Vasgersian talking about the most specific details about players, stadiums, etc. The great overlays only add to that atmosphere. It gives the game so much life. I feel like I'm going through the motions when I play this demo- I certainly didn't get that feeling last gen.
