NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

How come there was no "EA gets exclusive rights to the Weather Channel " thread.

Anyways, the game seems improved from last year. Player control seems a little loose though.

One thing that bothers me, though, is that the player models and the stadium model dont seem to fit well together.

I dont think I'm explaining it well but it seems like the players are almost pasted into the the stadium and lighting model doesnt bring a cohesion between the two....Thoughts?

I 100% agree. I'd like it to be a little faster or have a speed slider. I'm guessing the 60 fps prevented it from moving faster. The Madden team is a little further ahead in the development which is why it can move a little faster. Just a guess.

Yeah just a tad faster would be cool. (Might be in final version though) However I don't want it close to Madden speed.

After playing a few games of the the Demo I love it. The graphics are a nice upgrade from last year. I've noticed no pass rushing problems, I've gotten a few sacks, to me it's no worse then it was in '08. The juking on the right stick is awesome as well. With only a little over 3 weeks till the full version is released this demo might curb my addiction for '09.

well after playing another 10+ games. the running game is badass once you get use to it. Wells isnt as effective juking as the LSU RB. and vice versa when it comes to trucking and using power.but ethier way i have been breaking off some big runs lately.

I could care less about the cosmetics (grass, hair, color, shoes). The game still doesn't feel right. If it doesn't feel right then it isn't fun. Varsity isn't that far off from AA and passing is just way to easy. Meanwhile, the running game seems to be BROKEN again. The fun factor just isn't there. At least I can save my cash for the good games coming out late in the fall. Was it jus me or ru talkin bout GHIV? lol. well, GHIV fans aren't supposed to be on operation sports unless they love sprots gaming. Apparently, you don't enjoy sport games and prefer anothr way of gaming. that's completely fine bu dood, dont go on OS and jus dis all the games WE enjoy to play.

I have played this franchise since the beginning. I have bought this game every year. Since 2004 I have been disappointed with the NCAA series.

This game is again, GARBAGE!!! Let me rephrase that, the demo is garbage. Look behind the bells and whistles and you all will see it. In another two months people will see the same thing about this game as they did 08. All this game is going to be is 08.5.

I still have yet to hear a reason from you on why the demo is garbage.

i agree, the fact that I'm hearing the exact same kirk/corso lines from 06/07/08 is really dissapointing. You could of done better than this EA. This truly is becoming same s*it, different year + minor tweaks.

Not to mention the option is still broke as hell as i've been able to pitch it 3-4 times while laying on my back.
