I actually respectfully disagree with you, IMHO the speed is too fast and it makes the players animations look and feel all spastic sometimes. It also turns the game in to more of a twitch fest on how fast you can press buttons rather than how well you can read, recognize and react to a play.

I realize that football is a fast game, but when playing All-Pro Football on speeds other than fast, I still "feel the heat" when playing quarterback but the gameplay doesn't feel like I just have to quickly mash buttons to be successful. There are plays in NCAA 09 where the QB hikes the ball, drops back and the ball is thrown and I barely even get a chance to do (1) swim move with the D-Lineman, and I'm not talking about WR quick screens either....the game speed/tempo just feels too rushed and spastic to me...

I do agree that game speed sliders/settings would be a great addition to NCAA 2010.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I didn't want to go through 140+ pages to check:

If you log out of XBOX Live and set your system date to December, you get to play at night instead of dusk. Looks nice.

I'm actually considering getting the wii version. IT reminds me of my favorite ncaa...nca football 06. The 1 with desmond howard on the cover.

I've tried to read most of this thread, and I apologize if I missed this, but has anyone seen the CPU go deep? I've played the demo about 20 times, and can't remember it happening.

I don't think going deep is in this build. Apparently, it's in the final build.

Man, I am having a terrible time even downloading the game. THe PS3 is taking forever.

1.46gbs. Took me over 2 hours.

Has anyone broke one loose yet?

I've only had one rushing touchdown outside of the redzone. I figured this 'wide open gameplay' meant more of being able to make yourself look like Barry Sanders while the defense makes themselves look silly, but i've really yet to do either.

I guess i'm just not all that good when it comes to the sticks.
