NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[bluengold34_OS]

Well, big fan of the demo( All American). Like Auburn Alumin said, the biggest problem right now is pass rush( at least consistent ) It is better than last year, but still not where it should be.

The other issue I had was the fact in a 5 qtr timespan, there were 6 fumbles( 2 by me, 4 by cpu) and three int's ( 1 by me, 2 bt cpu)

I did have four user sacks in one game and two user tackles in the backfield, in the same game( once again Carlos Dunlap ) but that doesn't mean there was consistent pressure, and that was all brought on by me............not the cpu.

Passing on All American, was very easy for me, but I did enjoy the running game. I found if I was patient, I could see the holes open up, and choose my avenue of travel. I am hoping sliders can work this out, but I found it way to easy to read the defense and find the open holes in a zone defense.

I am in love with the lock on player cam, on defense, its a blast. I also like the rumble when there is pressure surrounding the QB. The new special teams cam is cool, but the result still feels like 09( need more time here though )

Overall, pretty solid attempt IMO, but thats just me. I think this game will be a blast on our OS dynasty, and I feel like NCAA 10 will have some serious 360 spin time.

Online Dyansty is great to compete for National Championships/recruits over year with real people. Judging how the demo is for NCAA Football 10, I probably won't even waste my time starting an Offline Dynasty.

It really is astounding how much Online Dynasty brings to the table. As a game vs the CPU, 09 was one of the worst football games ever. Online Dynasty was played w/ me and my friends from the first week the game came out all the way to 2 weeks ago and were in the year 2027. Like you mentioned recruiting is a blast, and the memories of my 4 user national title games are entrenched in my fav video game moments

How can they not have 2 player co op in the demo? How the hell are you supposed to get a feel for it when two of you always play on the same team together? Is there even 2 player co op or did they remove it again?

At this point, skipping it and waiting for Madden 10.

Just played 2 games. Love it so far. Animations are nice and the flow of the game feels good.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in here, but I noticed a small bug. I had 2nd down and pressed the button to snap the ball and the ball went flying over my quarterback's head about 20 feet and the play was blown dead. The announcer then said it was an incomplete pass and I proceeded to my 3rd down. Only happened once, but never saw this is NCAA 09.

After two games with the demo, it looks like I'll be a passaholic this year. It was just too easy on All-American. I had over 300 yards passing with Tebow.

I think the defense came out in man way too often. The corner route was money almost every time, OU couldn't do anything about it with their man defense. I ended up winning 31-14 my first game.

Then I switched it to Heisman and got a better game. I was still able to pass quite easily. I took a slant 60 yards with Riley Cooper, and still hit those corner routes. I was only able to win 14-7 though.


I did see that high snap glitch where the snap is called as an incomplete pass. I'm not too pleased with the camera, but whatever. The game also feels a little more arcadey to me. The tackling animations are a nice tough, although it did seem like all the defense players were doing semi-horse collar tackles 40% of the time.

some glitches i observed through my gameplay:

1. my ps3 has really never frozen before, unless i overheated it (not on purpose, obviously, and this was summer of 08). i have tried to play the demo 7 times, and all 7 times it has frozen at various points in the game.
2. snap flew over Bradford's head and was ruled incomplete (this has been mentioned at TheMaddenLab so i assume it has been mentioned here)
3. I threw an interception. There was a roughing the passer call called on my quarterback. Not only did I receive the ball back, I received it with better field position, and I was placed on the opposite hash mark from where I had been tackled; i was placed on the hash mark that the interception guy was tackled. i believe that this is not standard ncaa procedure; the INT still should've counted, am i wrong?
4. passes that are released as i'm getting tackled fly backwards but count as incompletions.
5. i have seen the same horse-collar-like tackle on nearly every play on most of my possessions.
6. lol, this camera angle is absolutely atrocious, i expect it will be fixed?
