Hate to keep quoting over and over, but I thought that last year's game played best on varsity with adjusted sliders. It allowed for the CPU to make enough mistakes, but could still keep the user surprisingly honest with the right slider adjustments. Varsity has been my preferred level on this year's demo as well.
It's always nice to see some people recognize this. A lot of people see varsity and immediately scoff at the idea.

I played all the matchups, and not once did I fumble the ball again (unlike my first game I played where I fumbled 5 times.)
Last game I played was Florida v. Florida St. with me playing as FSU. I threw an INT right off that bat and got down 7-0 quickly. Next drive, I marched it down and scored on a sweet QB roll out pass to the TE right before I got hit. Thought it was funny that the game recommended I run an option play for a two point conversion in the first quarter, but I thought what the hell and did it and succeeded. Good thing since the final score was 8-7.
Coolest thing I saw was on 4th down with just a minute left Florida on the 10 yard line, was their QB overthrowing a wide open receiver in the end zone. As soon as the ball was released I thought for sure they had a TD, but it was beautiful watching that ball float over his head out of bounds.

I was thinking the exact same thing and believing that I was losing my mind...
Wow, I've played two games so far both were great fun. The first was an OT thriller against Florida State who beat me 22-21. The second was a 10-7 win with Clemson over Mizzou with a last second field goal. I'll do my initial positives and negatives as most have done so far.
Whats Been Good
*The intros are awesome. Right from the start when the menu gets fired up all the way to kickoff, there is an edge that hasn't been in the NCAA series in a long time.
*Tackles are beautiful and I can't stress that enough. I was tired of seeing shoe string tackles every other play
*Defending the no huddle is both manageable and good fun.
*Run Blocking was the first thing that really helped with the idea that recruiting will be taken to a whole new level.
*On a near sack of Christian Ponder, he was running outside to the left with little chance of getting back to the line of scrimmage without being swallowed by my D Tackle. He reversed field, but the great thing was, his knee nearly slipped to the ground in his pivot motion but was able to recover back to the right side and slip it to his back.
*Player models look great. The new Camera angle sort of coincides with that, as it really changes the aspect of graphics.
What Could Be Improved
*Kirk and Brad are getting stale. Its really a situation where there needs to be a series that steps up to the plate liked NCAA Basketball 10 did and get multiple crews. I can deal with the momentary silence, but hearing the same phrases over makes you the game on the field feel less realistic.
*The new playbook is nothing to be proud of. Don't hate it, don't love it. Just not a fan.
*I'm not seeing many throws off target. If a ball is incomplete, its due to someone dropping it whether that be the Defense or the Offense.
*Arm motions never got fixed. Not a huge deal, but it adds variation and variation leads to durability in any video game.

so the dual stick controls are in the game . i got some work to do then couldn't figure it out since the buttons were usable i thought it wasn't.
good demo seen some goofy stuff but good ish. haven't one a game yet though i only played four for the unlockable. All yall xbox guys i thought you should know in the ps3 version they actually use a play from the game for play of the game.

Maybe because I'm use to playing madden but, IMO the game speed is to fast. I'll definitley be turning the speed down. Other than that I'm really liking the game. So far so good. Can't wait to see what the pro game looks like after this.
Good job so far EA!!!

I think the game is in good shape so far
Positives
1. great intro to the game, it really make u feel like ur going out to play in a real game
2. The Offensive line run blocking schemes are on point
3. I like the sideline interaction that goes on with players while either offense/defense is on the field
4.The replay camera angles
5. The equipment on players.(FS from Miami had on the 2 tone sleeves green and orange...sick)
Even tho this is a demo.. and im sure that EA is still working stuff out with the game these are just some possibilities that could be add..
What could be improved
1.I would like to see blind side hit from the WRs when a ball is cut back or even on punt returns
2. have some player celebration in the end-zone to show the emotions of a big play such as (hip-bump/chest bump or even have the sideline congratulate the person who scored when he comes off the field. (even-tho they are cracking down on the celebration)
3. Have the D-end at times take out the legs of a pulling guard/tackle/or FB to disrupt play and make it bounce to the outside.
4. The defense should have a break down in coverage at times such as when the crowed is to loud and u try to switch the coverage when u notice the offense formations

Just downloaded the demo. I had exhausted my three free one-month trial gold memberships but they're running a special, $1 gold membership for one month, that I took advantage of (just have to remember to cancel it before the card is billed for the next month).
Anyway, my 2 cents: I like it.
Major, major upgrade graphically. This is just what I had been hoping for after seeing the initial screens. Just looks freaking stunning. I never thought they could upgrade this much. I figured they had maxed out the 360's graphical capabilities with NCAA 09, the last game I purchased. I'm going to pop in 09 here in a little bit just for comparison's sake. I really like Madden 10's graphics. But these are even better. The players have a 3-D look to them.
Only played 1 1/2 games: Beat Missouri 14-0 in the rain. Losing to Texas 10-0 at halftime. It looks like I'm actually watching the Red River Shootout on TV. Cotton Bowl looks fabulous.
Gameplay-wise, it's been tight (that's good), meaning I haven't had any WTF? moments yet. It's a little fast for my tastes, but I believe there's a game speed slider in the retail version (even if there's not, I can live with it).
My only initial complaint, like many have stated, is the cumbersome play-calling screens. It makes it a little harder in college because you don't have as much time on the play clock as you do in the NFL. But I think it's just a matter of getting acclimated with the screens, so I'm not really worried about it.
I can't imagine any major bug in the retail version that would spoil this game (except maybe something like the exclusion of CPU sliders -- brilliant move, Madden 09 folks!).
One question for someone who didn't buy NCAA 10: Were coaches in there? I noticed no coaches in the demo, but I'm hoping they're in the final build. I liked seeing them in last gen (even though you had to name them yourself). I can't remember if they were in 09, but I don't think so).

you do realize that it IS a video game. anyway, my only a gripe seems to be the run game is too good. blockers block who they're supposed to block, but once that happens it seems like the defenders can never shed thier blocks. hope thats adressed.

I wanna play the demo pretty badly... Since my internet has been tanking since a storm a few weeks back (still waiting to get it fixed) so I'm at 16% after.... 8 hours... Yea 16% after downloading for 8 straight hours..

One thing that's very irritating to me is when the CPU runs hurry up offense, your defensive playcall menu BLOCKS the entire field. You cannot see what they're lined up in so your best off guessing what they have on the field.
One small graphical thing I've noticed, is how the fields are different. For example, the grass at the Cotton Bowl looked different than the grass at Doak Campbell. Nice touch.

So after playing the demo I've come to the conclusion that the game isn't the problem.....I am.
I just can't seem to get excited about these games anymore, and I really think that's just about any sports video game, not just NCAA. I mean whether it's Madden, NCAA, NBA, whatever, it all just feels like I've done it a million times over and there's just not enough "new" stuff in the game to make me want to keep coming back to it. I played the demo for maybe 10 minutes, and I was done with it. Just didn't feel like continuing because I feel like I've seen it all a million times before. Same camera angle, same type of gameplay, announcers saying the same stuff, and it goes on and on.
It's not even that I think it's a bad game, because it's not. It's just......I've seen it before. For A LOT of years now. And I just can't bring myself to enjoy it for any long period of time.
I'm sure I'll rent it, and probably enjoy it for the week I have it. But I think my ship has sailed on paying $60 for sports games. I just can't do it anymore. I guess this genre has just passed this gamer by.
