NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

[Village Idiot]

Anyone know what's up with the 2-minute quarters? The demo seems fully functional enough to allow for longer quarters. Even no game clock at all would be better than this. There's like no way to get any flow going because it's perperually the end of the quarter or half.

And on the same note, practice mode would be sweet as a demo. Either a demo with practice mode, or a separate demo of practice mode.

I noticed that too, although Brandon Saine (sp) is pretty quick off the ball. Notice a big difference there.

Hmm, lol, i just played the demo and right before the 1st quarter it glitched. It keeps on showing stadium views of the field and one of the players in the ohio state huddle is running in never ending circles.

yeah it would be nice if EA gave us 4 min quarters instead of 2.....2 mins you hardly have time to adjust to anything....it's not like we're just gonna keep the Demo and not buy the game .

They just want to give you an appetizer Undefeated. Just a little taste to make you want the whole meal.

I would love to practice against the pass in practice mode. The CPU QB is lights out!

I also wish EA didn't make the dusk games so orange looking.....sometimes the Buckeye team looked like they were the Long Horns wearing their burnt orange uni's...

I agree, But I have an easy fix for that, Play day or night only.

As much as I like the demo a couple things still irk, the juking side to side continuously if you go back and forth with the stick, how you can spin and in mid spin you can spin the other way. Also the running animations kinda look weird in replay but during the game not so much if you can understand that. I also hope this is b/c of varsity but I have thrown off my back foot countless times with Prior and Perriloux and have thrown perfect balls. that said im digging the shift protection which I have found useful, I like how the game feels and imo the crowd sounds good, maybe its just me. The pixelated crowd IMO is no biggy b/c in past years the crowd would tick me off bouncing up and down all game long like they were on a trampoline. Tackling animations look a lot nicer with a couple hitches in gang tackling. I would give the demo an 8.4 if I had to rate it. I believe it will deliver a good experience and thats what I was looking for. I played last year and liked it so this years is a nice step up IMO.
