I had two tip toes today and it pissed me off because it allowed the defensive player to catch me from behind.

The more I play the demo the more I'm liking it. Thats a good sign.

Me too, though I am still a bit hesitant on a day 1 purchase.

Definitely a bit rough along the edges but I will chock that up to being an old build for now. Right now the biggest improvement I am seeing is the ability to throw medium passes down the middle of the field without the linebacker covering short picking it off. As a guy who loves using TE's this is a big plus. Also, corners in man coverage do not seem to leave their man as soon as the ball is thrown to someone else.

Forgive me if someone has already posted this as there are way to many posts here to keep track but I did notice that after a touchdown pass to my TE, I told you I like TE's, his face disappeared. The helmet was there but that was it.

the crowd noise is louder in '09.

Same here. Not to mention that the 360 demo is just better looking that the PS3 demo as well.

nice, thank you

perhaps the PS3 built of the demo is older than 360

lol I thought that was weird. Good to hear it isn't in the final build.

I'm sure some EA haters will be disappointed though...

# 1211 auburntigersfan @ 06/25/08 01:26 AM

at first the demo felt weird and different, know it feels like a big jump from last year.

# 1212 av7 @ 06/25/08 06:44 AM

Well I just got done with the demo on my PS3, no complaints at all on how smooth it ran and looked pretty good to me

Same here. I'm going to change the controls (I assume you can do this, right?) to how they were in 2005/2006. I think it's called the "Classic" control method. I'll feel right at home.

I've been playing the demo for the last couple of days and I am pleased overall. I have seen some awesome animations, like the strip attempt when tackling and the strip attempt when sacking the qb. My only concerns and I haven't looked at the Q&A thread in a while are these: After timeouts only having like 12 seconds to pick a defensive play drives me crazy. Also does any one notice how the 40 second clock counts down then shoots from like 37 -25 seconds, they need figure out a way to start the playclock, then wait and start the game clock a little later to simulate the refs spotting the ball. I also think an answer to the quick snap feature would be if a audible button is pressed the game basically freezes until you finish your adjustment that way you have a little more time to make your adjustment and the clock is not really running, or something similar to this.

This was answered over at NCAAStrategies and one of the developers said it was not an issue in the final build.

# 1216 Brandwin @ 06/25/08 12:27 PM

It doesn't seem like slide protection works or I don't know when to use it. Anytime I use it, the defense gets right in.

# 1217 jay16 @ 06/25/08 12:43 PM

I was wondering if anybody knows when the demo can be loaded by people without a gold membership.

Thanks

I hate the fact that EA fixed the ball not spinning in replays on the PS3!

# 1220 bukktown @ 06/25/08 01:30 PM

I have to say this game is really growing on me. I love the player control on offense especially manually catching with receivers. On defense I am starting to get the hang of it. I think you have to have phenomenal stick skill to play good manual defense in this game and I will take that as a challenge to step it up.
