This also felt perfect in last gen. The ball floated just right, and darts had an accurate amount of zip..

also the ball didn't look huge or like it was made of extremely polished plastic.

Completely agree. I know Madden fixed this and it seems as if NCAA is a little better but still too fast. On one deep ball in a video, it did appear as though the ball actually stayed on the screen rather than hit the moon on the way down.

Sometimes I wonder if they boosted pass speeds to help cut down on cpu INTs. Imagine how many they would have thrown last year if the pass speeds were slowed down and the pass blocking toned down.

Just horrible. I will rent this until Madden drops. Never have I've been more excited about Madden than NCAA but this is the year for me until they step it up. Sad because I love the college game more but refuse to play an inferior game.

The biggest difference is the lack of momentum and weight the players had in the PS2 versions. I don't have a problem with the game speed, just the feel of the players. I thought the game speed of players in NCAA 09 on the PS3 was actually too slow. Just look how long it takes a player to run 40 yards in the game. It takes forever.

I agree. It's the lack of momentum and the speed cheats that led to the Wide Open Gameplay BS last year. I always felt like during the PS2 days I had much more control over my players, especially when the ball is in the air. If they added momentum and realistic acceleration it would lead to a much less arcady feel. Also, please tone down the spin moves, especially in between the hash marks. If you spin like that in real life your career won't be very long.

It looks great if you loved '09 and didn't hear what Madden did in one dev cycle. It looks pretty good, and I'm glad they fixed some problems, but not great. That's my opinion but I respect yours.

I agree. It was like this on last-gen, too, especially NCAA 07. I wish EA would fix this.

it looks nothing like 09 i didn't like that game. hearing what they did and actually feeling the differences while playing are worlds apart
