NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[ab2c4]

Is the demo pretty much a "finished product", meaning a good final representation of what we can expect from the full game? I mean, many times the demos are made before they finish the game, so the final product ends up being tweaked and polished much more, as well as bugs/glitches being resolved.

The developers really should feel ashamed of this product they are about to sell for 59.99. I tried the demo again for the last final time before deciding if its something i would buy and i just dont get it..this is barely an improvement over last years NCAA 09. What on earth did you developers do during the development season for NCAA 10? Seriously..this is as bad as you can get as far as improvements go from one year to the next...there is no way in HELL i would even pay 30 bucks for this game..NCAA 2009 is really no different then NCAA 2010..if you already have 09..dont be a fool and spend your hard earned cash on 2010..why should you when its clear as day NCAA dev's totally milked it during the development of 2010..

Im sorry but im fed up with these lackluster improvements from year to year... i almost gave up on Madden games myself but seeing what Ian and company did over this off season..i can say with much confidence that the madden dev's actually put in work during the off season...NCAA dev's must of been on vacation because this NCAA 2010 demo is a freaking joke!! You guys that are behind NCAA should feel ashamed..seriously..this just baffles me.

Also take note of what the Madden team has done with the presentation and atmosphere.. because its a huge improvement over last years madden..again, take note because NCAA feels DEAD!!

Demo is ok. Some bugs but I'm hoping that EA was able to fix up those. I understand the graphics/sound not being up to par simply because of demo limitations, the final product will yield better results visually. The Demo is not final, so if you let the demo make the decision of 'to get or not to get' you probably are making a mistake.

Still pass defense is weak for me and I find that I have to take control of DBs to have a chance to make an impact on a pass. Pass rush is hard for me but the CPU seems to get pressure on me nearly every play.
Nonetheless, I am very pleased with the Gameplan system and I really like the Player Lock as well.

The game for some reason has a good feel about it and I really hope the final version is at least decent.

Completely 100% agree with this guy, especially the first paragraph.

Its funny, every one is complaining about the NCAA game, here where I live most stores say that you will not be able to get on first day that it comes out because everyone has pre-orderd. My brother lives in Cincy, asked him as well, he has to wait, all stores have been hit with pre orders, luckily I did just that. **** load of people buying a game that is not supposed to be very good. I SMELL A RAT! LOT OF THEM!

Bama, I do too like the feel of the game. One thing I like is the play setup. Now we are talking strategy and EA's NCAA team did a hell of job here. This is real life football at its best. Running a particular play to set up oyher plays, awesome. To be able to select the style of play both offensively and defensively before the game or in the middle is another outstanding ploy devised by the NCAA team. Create a school, team builder, dont need to say anymore, just look on the net to say how many people across the nation have got involved with this feature! Man coverage has made a huge improvement, as well as getting pressure on the QB'S. Pursuit angles much better, and of course those wanting to run the FLEXBONE should be very happy. I have no idea what some of these people are complaining about. One thing for sure, they would complain if it was perfect! I smell RATS, sounds like there are some people who don't want this game to be recognized.
I know one such person who lives 15 min from, he admitted that he posted, not on this site, but on another how terrible the NCAA game is. HONEST TRUTH! He thought it was funny! I am buying the damn game! and my baby MADDEN TOO!

I really have to ask... Is this really happening this game cannot be that bad or the same as last year this game could be awsome but it really fell up short and I feel like this is the last year we see this dev team all together again. If they are still here after this year they will have to redeem themselves cause this game can be so much better than a flawed roster update.

I played the demo briefly, but from the little bit of hands on time I can say that I'm not that excited about NCAA Football 10. The game just doesn't feel like a new experience to me. I know it's just a demo, but I felt like I was driving an old car with a new paint job. Sure it looks different on the surface, but without tinkering under the hood, I'm just getting the same driving experience.

It's disappointing. NCAA Football used to be my favorite series in sports gaming, but the series isn't going in the direction that I would like to see it go in. This game is another product of the marketing genius that is EA. I guarantee week or two after it's released, people will be complaining about this title as much as they did with '09.

I'll wait to see what Madden has to offer this year. If that under delivers, it looks like this will mark yet another year without a football game for me.
