NCAA FOOTBALL 10 DEMO AVAILABLE TODAY

Fans Awaiting the Release of NCAA Football 10
Create Over 80,000 Custom Teams via TeamBuilder

June 18, 2009 –Electronic Arts is proud to announce that the demo of NCAA Football 10 is available today for Xbox 360 and PS3. Fans who download the free demo will experience all-new gameplay features including:
  • Defensive Keys—Prior to the snap during the pre-play, hold the left trigger while pressing the analog stick in the direction you think will stop the run. If you think the offense will pass the ball, press upward. Or, you can press the icon associated with a receiver (X, Y, A, B, LB, RB) to spotlight that individual. This will focus the defense on making sure that the chosen offensive player does not make a play.
  • Defensive Player Assist—By holding A (on 360) or X (on PS3) on defense your player will be put under CPU control so you have time to read a play and decide the best course of action.
  • Enhanced Defensive Lineman Moves—With new animations, take control of your defensive linemen using the right stick to fight pass blocks and put pressure on the quarterback.
  • Gameplanning—There are six defensive and five offensive individual game planning options, or you can globally set your offense and defense. Each option changes the way your team will perform. For example, be aggressive and try and strip the ball every time and you run the risk of getting more facemask penalties.
  • Player Lock—Player lock allows you to lock on to a specific player in order to control that position during the play. When you lock on you'll get a whole new camera angle that puts you closer to the action.
  • Set Up Plays—Set up plays allows you to run one play in order to set up another. When picking a play, you will notice that some plays have a chain link between them, which indicates that one play can set up the other. Every time you use one particular play throughout the game, you are setting up for the play that is chain linked to it. Once the play is 100% set up (as shown in your playbook), the defense is at its highest likelihood to fall for that play action.
  • 1000 new animations like throw out of a sack, new shotgun snaps/hand-offs, WR/DB interactions, tackles, double team run blocks, catches, broken tackles, and slipping in bad weather.

I found another HUGE glitch.

I was scrambling with Tim Tebow and he got hit when he threw. Turns out he got injured and was out for the game. EA FIX THIS ASAP!

Am I missing something or are you being sarcastic?

I just finished playing the demo for the first time and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. For all of you guys who say that this year's game plays like 09, you may need to take more time with the demo. This game plays nothing like 09! This game is definitely slower than last years. I love all of the new animations, there is no robo qb, the secondary plays great tight defense, and the presentation felt much better. The only thing that stood out to me was the difficulty I had getting good pressure on tebow. However, I did have a coverage sack which was pretty nice to see. The pursuit angles are much better this year! Thank you so much EA!

I think every year we demand perfection and every year we have our hopes dashed because of the expectations we place for this game. Perfection is difficult to obtain. I personally do not expect this years game to be perfect; I don't think it ever will be. What I do expect from EA is progression toward perfection and if this years final product plays like the demo, I certainly will not be disappointed. With that being said, this will be a buy for me!

For those who are saying, "I didn't expect all of these positive reports", do not underestimate the power of "new" lol. A lot of guys play hard until the demo/game comes out and are all over it because of their passion for football and the hunger for something new. This fact is the reason exclusivity is working for EA.

Not being a basher, it's just the facts.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Its no different than release day impressions. If you really want to get an idea of what the community thinks on the demo or the game- wait about a week and read the impressions.
 
# 169 renatus @ 06/18/09 01:02 PM
is there any pre-game presentation on the demo?
 
# 170 CandyEyes32 @ 06/18/09 01:04 PM
Only the band.
 
# 171 greenegt @ 06/18/09 01:04 PM
I'm happy to see the positive impressions here and on ncaastrategies. Sounds like the game plays much better in User vs AI or User vs User games. Ugh, so long before I can try the demo for myself.
 
# 172 cdon2k @ 06/18/09 01:06 PM
True "Dr", like I said, I am not bashing because I thought I was done with Madden due to the lackluster games of previous years. The team's interaction made me back off of my hardened stance, but I am still not sure that I will be satisfied with the game this year. It all goes back to the hunger for new football lol.

I wonder when the NCAA team will address presentation, atmosphere, and celebrations.

Oh wait, they've been telling us it's improved and the best it's ever been...thanks to bands and mascots/cheerleaders!

At least the gameplay sounds bearable. Which is about as much as I can expect. Hopefully the sliders work decently enough.

The hitch plus a corner route = automatic touchdown up top.

Also I noticed the "curls" from madden 09 are in, and Rocket catch is still in the game
 
# 175 Bumble14 @ 06/18/09 01:10 PM
I miss bowl patches and good presentation.

^ Get out. How in the hell is that non-sense STILL in the game? Seriously.

Did NCAA reduce the global game speed like Madden did?
 
# 180 mkam89 @ 06/18/09 01:15 PM
I was a little worried as I fumbled on the kickoff (reversed). Then fumbled on my first play, then made them fumble on the same play. Then fumbled on the next series (reversed). But I've played a few games and seen only one more fumble.

The only glitched I've noticed is when the cpu gets a first down and go to spike it the clock doesn't start up again and the cpu waits until there is 2 seconds left on the play clock. Even on a fake spike.

The game plays great. Feels a lot more fluid with the new animations, inaccurate throws, QB automatically dives forward on QB sneak (sometimes not so good), etc. But my big problem... still incredibly hard to run at the goal line with the RB.
