Quote:


	"t's almost time, you can hear the bands warming up, NCAA Football is getting close to being released to the masses. The thrill of the hunt to find the game early will start around Independence Day, and then the game will slowly arrive in everyone's hands. The question is, is the game worth your $60 this year? The demo has been released today on XBox 360 and later tonight on the PS3. Considering the demo is only 2 minute quarters, I'm not so sure that it's going to make anyone feel that this game is not just NCAA 09.5. I look at what's been changed and added for the '10 iteration, and shake my head when I look at Madden 10's feature set. It's like night and day. You would almost think these teams should probably work together..right?"

My Money is going to Madden 10....and a backward compatible NCAA Football...they can have this tragedy

# 24 mastershake88 @ 06/18/09 10:03 PM

lol I just played the demo. they have to be out of their minds.

# 25 SageInfinite @ 06/18/09 10:21 PM

I've been saying no since the 1st details were released. I've been enjoying the demo, but it's damn sure not worth my money.

# 26 SoxFan01605 @ 06/18/09 10:22 PM

Gotta say...they won't get mine. I was one who was hyped for team builder, but as cool as that addition is, it's meaningless if the game on the field is not up to par. My experience with 09 was limited (I got bored) but this seems no different (in terms of how it plays out and presentation...I know there are subtleties).

It's not horrible, it's just very bland across the board (IMO). Presentation is stale, gameplay feels stuck in a rut, the commentary (once a strong point) feels unchanged and repetitive. All in all, the demo has me disappointed.

I'll still rent it (Gamepass...so no additional money spent) and try it out with some other teams, but the limited progress coupled with the errors and the spotty attention to their product (or so it seems), makes it a no for me.

anyone feel like you don't have good control over the players? not just with suction blocking and tackling but when trying to make cuts or movement adjustments? how about the lack of response when you try to hit stick someone or strip the ball? i am having an impossible time hit sticking someone or going for the rip. is it just me? i feel like you have to press hit stick when you're 5 yards away from the guy to even start the animation. when i want to go for a trip my user controlled player is already sucked into a tackle animation. it feels like the same game as last year...just about 5% slower. maybe it's just me...i'm pretty disappointed in this game and until now, i didn't bash anyone or throw out any harsh criticism well deserved or not.

I agree 1,0000000000000000000000000000% x's 2.

I keep telling people there's no reason this game should not be infinitely better than it was 6 years. Would you buy a new car with less features and stripped down than the 2003 model?

As it stands right now, I'm not buying this game, and that's a shame. My school is in the midst of an amazing 3-4 year run in real life, and I can't enjoy on this game like I USED to be able to.

I expounded upon that point in the demo thread a couple of hours ago. I was pressing buttons and the response time was terrible. Not to mention the slightest movement of the left stick when your in the QB pocket and the QB moves drastically in that direction.

I just felt like the game was controllign my man based moreso on the animation rather than the directions and buttons I pressed

No.

Like a lot of other fans, I was really excited about Team Builder. But, and I've mentioned this before, if the defensive line pressure hasn't improved, I don't want anything to do with this game. '09 was awful for Boston College fans as BJ Raji and Ron Brace got their **** pushed in by every O-line in the game practically. And that ain't right, folks.

I don't even want to waste my bandwidth on downloading the demo... it seems to be the general consensus that the OL/DL interaction and pass rush is botched yet again.

... so no NCAA 10 for me. Oh well... more money for another game.

They had to do a few things to get my dollar this year: Improve the gameplay, improve recruiting, and do Louisville justice on the rosters.

1.) Improve Gameplay: C - As far as I can tell they improved DB play in man. They improved QB accuracy (by making it less accurate), and they made the speed of the game more realistic. I still don't feel like the pocket exists, zones aren't done properly at times, run blocking and downfield blocking is still bad, and human d-line preassure is still non-existant. Madden has done so much more, things that weren't "risks" in gameplay but straight improvements. To not steal them is dumb.

2.) Improve Recruiting: B - I think the ability to downplay other schools is terrific. I still feel much more could have been done.

3.) Louisville's Roster: F- - They seriously had to try to screw up or roster this bad. It's just beyond awful and broken. Regardless if this is the "screw up" roster or not, it's just sickening how completely inaccurate they have our rosters. Makes me want to vomit. Look, FSU is a great school, if you like FSU, but I'm a Cardinal fan through and through, and I don't give 2 ****s about FSU. I'm not playing with anyone but my Cards, not matter how many Tim Tebow's you give them.

Either way you slice it, EA doesn't deserve my money on this one.

# 34 GoBlue10 @ 06/18/09 11:07 PM

No.

but i'm an NCAA junkie so i'll get it

# 35 ANDROMADA 1 @ 06/18/09 11:17 PM

no,and yet another reason i havent played NCAA since the 2006 xbox version..What a waste this gm continues to get worse every year,thank God I still have my 06' NCAA which I love!!!Mabe they will get it right in er,uh.....neveremind.

# 36 Hova57 @ 06/18/09 11:28 PM

seriously one person says this game is crap and its been a snowball. i agree they shouldn't send out crappy rosters and underdeveloped sliders and yall are putting this game down. yet most of u on here have a 360 which was shipped with a major bug to the point you loose your system. ms says they fixed and those models get rrod. i really think some of yall should examine exactly what u are saying when it comes to consumer disappointment. i'm not saying people should be praising this game up and down but i do believe that if your willing to play on a system that cost double or triple (depending on when u bought it.)the cost of ncaa 10 its a little hypocritical.

This series needs an extreme makeover.

The o-line d-line interaction is horrendous and the gameplay on the whole is just too arcadey and robotic.

Not to mention the fact that the game has now shipped with major features broken in two consecutive years.

EA needs to bring in a new team for NCAA 11.

I haven't bought an EA football game yet this generation, but the way things are going, I think Madden 10 may be the first.

This, exactly. EA won't be getting my money this year for the first time in a long time.
