NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

[servo75]

For some reason, although I have a high-speed connection, my PS3 is really slow when it comes to downloads - I think it's the way my network is set up.

But anyway, if it's available on a website somewhere I could download it at work and burn it to DVD, then put the DVD in the PS3 and start from there. I've seen the download for the XBOX360 version, but not for PS3. The PS3 store lists it as a download but doesn't have a link to download it. Is it available anywyere?

Tons more anims, improved graphics, players have weight and momentum. I for one cant wait till July 15th.

I'll have to agree with you about some folks not giving it an unbiased look. I was strongly against 08(it's obvious since I received an infraction for trolling) mainly due to feeling short-changed. I'm still pissed that they left out so many things like Spring Game and such. It still baffles me that PS2 has more options than PS3. It's wrong.

However, I feel pretty good about 09. There's no excuse for still not having all the features PS2 has, but I've bitched for a year and it's easier to go along with. It's easy to see how much better the game looks and the menus are finally right. I hope it's that quick when setting a depth chart.

I must concure with this. When I first got my PS3 it was with the idea in mind that everything i had on ps2 version would be there and then some. All i play is NCAA for like 9 months a year, every year. To bad i traded in all my ps2 games thinking they were useless. I miss NCAA07 now.

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.

Well maybe if you'd take the time to read the QA threads AND responses in this thread you'd actually see this option was addressed and fixed. This build is before the fix was made.
I guess that's asking too much......

I've been playing NCAA 09 this morning and it plays out 10 times better than 08. I am extremely disappointed that it is still not in HD resolution (1080i/p). That alone makes me not want to buy it. but I most likely will. EA needs to serve up some 1080 resolution in there pS3 verion next year.

So will this demo be available for XBL Silver members on the 26th then?

I could be wrong but the probable reason is once a demo is made and "tested" it has to go through the verification process with EA and then MS/Sony. So basically if we were to get a build closer to the final product we'd probably end up not getting it until the week of or after the retail version hits stores. Then people would bitch about no demo coming out soon enough.

Just my take....

EDIT: Nevermind. Already posted earlier as to demo process

The 360 demo on my setup downloaded in about 15 minutes.
The PS3 version on same network took over 1 hr.
