What I mean is that the CPU ball handler doesn't have his name under him when he dribbles. The USER does but not the CPU. Not a big deal for me, but it is for many. Hopefully this could be addressed in a patch.

It's very much like Live.

Love the atmosphere and overlays, but the crowd noise that happens while you play sounds like a really bad loop.

I hope the overlays are just placeholders like has been said, because I saw Michigan 10-22 ranked 22nd in the country. GA Tech was 15-17 ranked 12th.

A game that I wanted, that went to passing to now maybe wanting. May trade in Live for this as it has more depth.

This is what I'm thinking. Still not sure yet, should be interesting.

after playing this demo.. it just assured me what i have known for a while this game will be a good one.. cant wait to get the final product.

Game is pretty fun. I've only played the Live demo but it is similar to that without the problems. Motion offense is nice, all the features that carried over from Live are good too. Also, I remember reading that in Live the CPU doesn't call timeouts? Well they do in this game. I went on a 9-0 run against Duke to open the game and they crossed half court and called timeout. They also called timeout when the game was tied 4-4.

I'll be renting this for sure. Not buying yet because I've started to rent every sports game before buying (I'm sure everyone knows why) and it doesn't seem like they've done much to Dynasty since there hasn't been any news on it and the new features listed in the demo say nothing about Dynasty either.

You sound just like me, I once got a demo to 20% in 5 or 6 hours before giving up on it. I've never found anything to speed it up either. I'm guessing it has to do with the internet service I get(although I have no idea what it is, other than it's not dial up).

Yeah it's going on 3 hours and last time I checked it was like at 14%. I have a wireless adapter. Maybe I should move the Xbox to the other room and hook it up directly to the router.

This just seems so basic I cant believe they left it out. Why? Its not hard to program I'm sure because its been in piratically every other sports game, and they got a lot of criticism on it last year. Upsetting that such an easy fix was left out, that you think would be a given when you buy a sports game.

Liking the gameplay, mostly. Hate the cameras. I play on Baseline High on Live and all they really have is Floor, which offers no depth perception and Overhead which is waaaay too zoomed out. If they don't offer zoom options in final, I'm not doing it. Sad too, Presentation is top notch.

# 71 HustlinOwl @ 11/05/09 07:36 PM

some people are not that into dynasty sorry to tell you that

With a combination of extrememly nice and smooth gameplay, beautiful graphics, and the best presentation ever in a college basketball game........ This game is a MUST BUY in my eyes for all True Basketball Fans!!! Great Job EA.....Nice way to bounce Back!!!

That remains to be seen. I'm waiting on a game to dethrone that one so I still have it. Neither of the 09 NBA games could make me ditch that game

Can anyone else give me insight on this statement?

lol...

I am enjoying the demo. One thing I don't like is around the rim. The collisions/weird animation shots are killing me. It just doesn't look natural a lot of the time down there. Just had a fun gmae tied it up at 12-12 with a last second putback from Singler.

I can't believe I'm using the dookies..

# 75 warnerwlf98 @ 11/05/09 08:06 PM

I uploaded a 9 minute vid to Youtube . . . the first I've ever done, but it still says it's processing and it's been almost 2 hours now. Should I delete it and re-upload it, or continue to wait?

# 76 ty5oke @ 11/05/09 08:07 PM

Big #21 from UNC just hit a fadeway 3 from the top of the key against me. My CPU controlled players in a zone don't seem to know what it means to stay in their zone.

# 77 23 @ 11/05/09 08:11 PM

Alright alright, guess my question is for another thread and lets keep the demo thread on demo talk for NCAA College Basketball 10

# 78 Pappy Knuckles @ 11/05/09 08:14 PM

The last thing I need is another good bball game lol. I like NBA a lot more than college, but having all those teams to choose from is always fun. I may end up picking this up if I'm feeling the demo. Nice impressions so far.

I would wait; the same thing happened to me when I uploaded a longer video and it finally went through. Could you post a link here when it's processed?
