NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Man, I have had some fun playing this demo. I think I had more fun in the demo than in the game last year. The news that this is an early build combined with the fun factor makes me very excited for release day. Despite the negativity - and I have brought some of it myself, I am pretty optimistic about this game. I really don't understand the sack comments - seeing plenty of them - but I am blitz happy anyway. But I have learned to be careful about the blitz after seeing some of those screens go for looong gains.

I had a few long runs - several out of the option but a few where I ran up the middle for 3 or 4 plays and then surprised them by going outside when they were looking inside.

Finally downloaded. Played a little, and I was impressed with it. I like the some of the little features that have been added back in like slide protection. Still waiting for create a school and multiple camera angles. The movement is a little smoother. Since I actually liked last year's game, I will be getting this too.

Has anyone seen the stiff arm yet?

IT looks more as if he just throws him rather than pushes him away/off.

I just saw these for the first time today and gotta say they look very overdone but better than the old ones. You win some you lose some and some are just about a tie.

I actually saw something I hadn't seen before. Was running an Iso right, the qb makes contact with the fb and can't make the exchange with the tb, so he tucks it and tried to get whatever he could get. Cool animation.

The more I play it the more complete it feels compared to last year, I don't know.

I have played this demo a TON, and I gotta say... This year's NCAA is gonna be BADASS.

I really can't wait.

i haven't used it much, but in '08 it was more like a "nuke arm" than a stiff arm. the defender would just fly backwards akwardly after barely touching the ball carrier stiff arm. looks better in '09 but still overdone some.
