does the other builds allow you to do a 360 spin off your back foot wit periloux and hit a wide out in trip coverage 40 yards away?
Has anyone seen the 1 hand tap catch yet? I threw a screen pass to LSU rb and I thought It was overthrown and going out of bounds (high) and #5 tip's it with 1 hand then catches and then get flipped and drops it. (I wish I could have replayed that, cause I would have used my camera video and put the video up showing the sick animation).
I am so happy that they added the automatic shedding of players. I like the fact that if I run up the middle with Wells I can break tackles without always having to truck stick. I want dude's to just miss cause he's so big and strong and has the ability to break tackles. And I have seen tons of just randon broken tackles without having to trigger them in some way (truck stick/juke/spin/ ect...). Wells is a monster in this game. Ive had some big runs with him which feels so rewarding when you go through the middle break a few tackles and then are in the clear for a 68 yd td run. Its a great feeling to do it this way lol.
I also love the fact that when you throw high passes to smaller guys they dont go up and get the ball like the bigger guys. I have seen some dope new catch animation with Hartline, Robiski (sp?)

Downloaded to the PS3 and wasn't that impressed but I was hoping I would be.
From the start when it panned into the stadium I got to look at the awful and pixelated fans that were in the stands, that was my first turn off. I really liked the look of the playing field the grass texture was very good. I ran a play close to the sidelines and the players on the sidelines had the same face and looked bad as well.
The animations were okay but I noticed a lot of the time during tackles the players would sort of slide into place, like they were on ice and not connected to the ground.
I used to love this series too and hope that what I'm seeing is just an early build.
I have bought the last 2 NCAA's and played maybe 10 games, I want to like but I don't know maybe I'm too picky but $60 is really starting to add up when you buy many many games.
Enough rant.....

is it just me but does the the PS3 version play as fast as Madden 2008 compared to the 360 version of the demo?

The new right stick stuff felt very natural, I was impressed with that.
Still to twitchy, but I knew that going in, so it wasn't a disappointment.
Animations shoot off too fast, but they're better and more varied... especially some of the new pass rush moves.
Lighting is awesome.
Crowd noise is a pleasant surprise. Not 2k8 quality, but good.
Overall, I'm happy with it. I'll be buying the game.

I don't know if this happened to anyone else but a awesome thing just happened. 3rd and goal from os 4, I call a hb toss out of goaline, #32 drops the the pitch from #11,ball bounces off turf, I manage to pick it up while defenders bear down then out runs some slow guy to the corner and dive in to the edge of the endzone.
I never witness any randomness in any next gen sports game until now (let alone a bobbled pitch)

The graphics on this demo are stellar, I just wish the gameplay hooked me more. I played NHL 09 and got hooked instantly. I played Skate and was hooked instantly. I played Fifa 08 and was hooked instantly. I played Nascar 09 and was hooked instantly. I play this demo and not so much. Maybe the final product is drastically different, I'm just giving the first impression I'm getting from the demo. Sure, I bet this is the best NCAA yet. Just for whatever reason I'm not getting hooked though.

ok got a second game in.. I liked it better than the first game. TB played much better than TP for the cpu. I still had a pick 6 but that was the only turnover by either team. TB had pressure and underthrew his pass. My DB caught it and went to the house!! I won 17-6.

I find myself talking with the commentary because I know the line by heart WAY too much. This is one of my area's of concern.
One thing that I am disappointed at.. is the play by play. We made huge changes in how this is triggered and nobody has noticed. All I have seen reaction to is how the post-play is the same. On 08, it was "Takes the snap... looking for a man... fires it... pulls it in... tackled!" That isn't realistic and you won't hear that on 09. Oh well.

R2 (if it's what I think you're looking for)
i just played my game...had a goal line stand on LSU from the 2...they werent going anywhere. i drove down field went 6-7 98 yards...tried a run but it didnt work. i scored a TD with 3 seconds to go in the half. I then scored another passing TD in the fourth and had a pick 6...but not like last year where it warped to me i actually made a really good play on the ball.
IDK if anyone else noticed this and im sorry if it has been posted but in the playcalling screen its like how it was on the ps2...you can pick a play with L1, square triangle and x even if the cursor is not on it...i thought that was pretty cool.
