Animations look very similar to 09 in my opinion. I used Arizona so I didn't get much feel for the running game with Wells back there. Guess I'll download the Cowboys demo so I can see how it is with a good running back. Basically, they pretty much overhauled the menus, added some presentation effects that NFL 2K5 had 5 years ago and declared it groundbreaking. I'll still buy it, mind you, but I just don't see all this new innovation that we're supposed to be seeing. Of course this is only after one game of the demo. It is really nice to see the accelerated clock back...now maybe time of possession will be more balanced in franchise games. Referees are nice to have, but I could have lived without them. I do think the game looks really nice, but like I said earlier, the animations seem pretty much the same as always. For example, when a guy catches a pass coming across the middle and gets hit, you still get that animation like he got shot in the back with a shotgun. In other words, the players still look pretty stiff at times. Well I'm gonna play the Cowboys demo and see if I see anything different. Despite not being overly impressed with the gameplay, it's still a day one purchase for me as it's been since back in the days of the Genesis and Super Nintendo. But don't believe the hype, this is just another "baby steps" version and not the "giant leap forward" that we all were hoping for. Definitely better than last year and the year before that and that's pretty much all we can hope for, right?

Well said. All of the items Ian talked about (Pro-Tak) are not highly visable. the tackle animation is stale and the virtually the same as 09. Instead of gang tackling some players will once again fall (exploding animations) down or off instead of assisting with the tackle. CB and SF still seem to know where the ball is at all times and can sometimes morph over to bat the ball down. Just alot of stuff that was wrong with 09 is in 10.

Graphics are just ok (Cut sceens are very nice graphically) and the running animations is very very weird. Their legs don't go with their upper body movement.

Bottom-line, Ian stated this is very close to the final build. So it is highly unlikely we will see all of this new stuff we were feed. Oh, it will be in M11 ha

Adembroski confirmed that cpu sliders ARE in the retail version. They wouldn't make the same mistake twice (although NCAA released broken sliders out of the box two years in a row ).

Not true. You can change them before the game with the difficulty settings under My Skill. It's been confirmed but you can only adjust human sliders. You can't adjust them during the demo though.

Do you use a surround sound system?

I have played both demos since about 9:30 and I am still learning more and more about the game (I dont have a job yet and I have been playing the demo and then checking the new posts). 3. no Sliders in the demo. 4. I have 360 and have played both demos.

There are sliders in the demo. You must set them before starting the game at the team select screen

There are only human sliders and no cpu sliders but it was confirmed that cpu sliders will be in retail
