NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[prototype561]

Its funny how the first pages of the thread started out as i love the demo and its the greatest, then i people keep playing and then there like what is this BS. I waited to play a solid 30 games to give my impression and its not looking good.
1. The cpu can get pressure on u, but u cant get pressure on the cpu, when u blitz the cpu just throws to a quick route. I swear there has been many games where both tebow and bradford were both completing 90% of their passes. OL/DL interaction sucks again.
2. No running game, how can the DL get passed the OL on a run but never on a pass play. No momentum of physics, there is still a ton of warped tackling.
3. User pass defense is a joke, if a player gets a step behing u its almost automatically a catch. The cpu runs slant after slant after the slant, no matter what play i call its always open. The second favorite of the cpu is the flag or post.

I played on heisman since the 1st game, and if this anywhere near the final build we r in trouble. How in the hell does a game do this year in and year out. I kinda hate the whole patch thing b/c it just gives them a way to release crap every year and then try to fix it later. I never seen a game digress over the years like this one, given the new tech and power of these systems this game should look and play beautifully. NO we get some PS1 graphics with SNES gameplay. Just gives us the PS2 game engine and some better graphics and i would be fine. PS3=$500, HDTV=$500, games $65 a piece damn i hate wasting my money.

that glitch is only in the PS3 demo, and it has been fixed since the demo build.

My basic impressions have remained unchanged. I think that online play, and head to head games against other humans will be a lot of fun, mainly due to the vast array of gameplay improvements that were made this year.

Against the computer, I am not so sure. Everybody keeps complaining about the gameplay engine or the physics engine, and I actually think those things are pretty close to spot on. The problem is the AI engine, for lack of a better term. The computer just doesn't play like a human opponent -- at all, and as a result, Human v AI games seem to have some inherent problems. Essentially, the problem is that the computer isn't all that smart, so in order for it to effectively compete, it has to take some shortcuts, and those shortcuts often turn out to be problematic.

If you primarily play online, I really think that this year's game will be one of the best NCAA's ever. If you play primarily offline, then it seems like it will continue to have some significant issues.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but there is a snap glitch on the PS3 version. Don't remember if it happened on the 360 version. I think it is better than last year. (Animations and Player Lock)

Has anyone been intercepted or fumbled on a 2 point conversion attempt? I was Oklahoma, got picked off by a gator on the 2 pt conversion, the guy runs out to the 10 yard line and is stopped. I get to the kickoff and Florida is kicking off to me even though I just scored.

I have quit playing the demo on a regular basis. Not because I hate it or whatnot, but because it grows tiring playing the same two teams over and over.

I want the retail version to feel fresh when I get my hands on it. So for now, its back to the Show...with a football game or two sprinkled in here and there.

When the other team runs no huddle, your dlineman bump into them on the way past, and get called for encroachment. Sooo dumb.
