Is it possible to taunt when you are about to score a TD?

# 362 #85_on_a_mission @ 06/19/08 08:39 PM

I dont understand the complaints of the lack of pressure on the CPU and the super human QBs. Its best to get pressure yourself by playing D line, and in doing so I have had zero problems. And the CPU isnt superhuman persay. Beckmen is simply a better QB than the LSU Qb and is doing nothing more than playing to his high overall rating. Is he good, yes, but super human? I dont think so. Playing as LSU I had no problem stopping beckmen.

Just played a sweet game VS nephew. I was OSU and of course he was LSU.
I scored to make it 7-0. He tied it and back and forth until we went to OT.

First possesion we both scored TD's

Second possesion we both scored TD's

Third possesion:
My nephew has to settle for a FG. I call time out to ice him...

The play goes to ground level and the heart beat starts.
Kick is up.........WIDE LEFT!

On my possesion I get to the 11 yard line and decide to kick FG to win it....
Time Out LSU

Same thing: The play goes to ground level and the heart beat starts

I can tell you it makes the tense moment 100 times more tense.
Kick up.... Starts left then slowly curves right...

GOOD! OSU WINS!!

I had a fumble reviewed by the booth and no mention was ever made if it was overturned or not. Obviously you can figure it out by the result of the play, but there was no referee cutscene or anything. I also haven't seen a single penalty yet.

Presentation will be the same in the complete version. I can't understand why they don't have a team doing the presentation aspect. It seems pretty odd at the beginning to just to show cutaway(s) in a stadium and nothing at the end.

Are you forgetting what level we're playing on.

I almost dread playing another game. Every time I see the CPU throw a pick, I get less and less interested in buying the game.

I've never read one positive thread from you about an EA football game. Have you ever considered that you simply don't like the series? Try out APF2K8 perhaps?

no its still there.

Just finished, threw a TD with Pryor with 17 seconds left to win 7-3.

I was a little rusty (haven't played a football game in months), but once I got the rust off, the game felt much, much smoother than last years. Less mechanical.

For an 8 minute demo game, I came away feeling very good. LOTS of potential for this year. I can't wait for the final version now.

# 370 zoltranite @ 06/19/08 08:45 PM

mever mind I just saw a low hit with it

# 371 Anti Honor @ 06/19/08 08:45 PM

Played two games - same results really. I'm not sure what you guys are doing to get the CPU to score points, but I'd love to know, so I could do it. They pretty much just dink and dunk, then punt every drive. I go from being excited about the game, from reading posts in this thread, to ''meh'' whenever I play the demo.

This might not be the full game, but I can tell you right now - There's going to be more of the same interception crap that plagued last years titles. The CPU is ********, they're not aggressive at all. I'm TRYING to let them score, and they still can't. Maybe I downloaded the wrong demo or something, because I'm missing the good results many of you seem to be having. One person in this thread ended up downloading the same demo, though - Whoever had the CPU get picked off three times in three drives - Welcome to NCAA '09.

I won't judge the game until July 15th, when I can adjust the sliders HEAVILY in the CPUs favor... That's make or break time.

How do you know this when you're playing on the lowest level?

I must say EG, I completely disagree, I love the right stick being the pump fake myself. The directional aspect just really makes it so much more realistic, to be able to pump one way and come back and hit someone the other. It's bad@ss!

ODogg, Hawaii is not in the demo. lol

Haha, well I know I can't WAIT to control them now with this wide open gameplay. Their little, fast, agile receivers should be great fun!!

# 377 Flightwhite24 @ 06/19/08 08:58 PM

I have them both dl'd and I can't tell the difference. PS3 owners are gonna be very happy with the results. I guess I am gonna be making the drive down to Bowling Green, Ohio this year for this one. My son and I are playing it on the PS3 and it runs smooth as butter. Peace!!!!

# 378 Memberz_09 @ 06/19/08 09:00 PM

Anyone have their PS3 Demo done yet!?

# 379 Scott @ 06/19/08 09:00 PM

Not me, mines still only at like 22%

# 380 zoltranite @ 06/19/08 09:01 PM
