Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

It still amazes me that people continue to say the interceptions are very abundant, because I am not seeing this whatsoever. I'm not saying it is not happening. Apparently, it is according to some.

But I know from last year, it was clear as day for me. On this demo, I don't see it.


Are these people blitzing all the time or what?

Ints and fumbles aren't that common.

Its a game by game basis though. One game i picked off 4 and recovered a fumble. Others there are no turnovers watsoeva. Some games are 28-7. others are 7-0. well imo, i think its going to be a great game.

I don't blitz, I don't even line up in the right formation, hoping the CPU will move the ball on me. Seriously, what am I supposed to do? Switch over to the CPU team and pass the damn ball myself? Maybe you're right, maybe the issue has been fixed, but the demo games that I played left the CPU with 4 picks per game, 0 points, and not a single deep pass... and half the time I punted on purpose, to give the CPU more chances.

If Adam will give me a straight, honest answer, and assure me that some work was put into fixing this issue again, I'll forget I ever played the awful demo, and buy the game on July 15th. I need reassurance is all, that's how bad the demo came off as, to me, at least.

I'm 30 years old, I'm not senile yet - I know what I see.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I'm sure most will disagree with my opinion of the demo but I played it for the first time last night (PS3) and wasn't overly impressed. To me the gameplay feels a little fast and I didn't feel like I had a lot of control over my players. There were some nice new animations added and I can definitely see a lot of positives with this year's game just from the brief demo, but overall it didn't feel as solid to me as MLB and even College Hoops, and everyone knows they have their imperfections.

Actually I was rather disappointed, being a huge college football fan. I could have a different opinion once the actual game is out, but for now I can say that I could live with 08 for the PS2 and be remotely satisfied, even if there were no 09 for the PS3. In saying that, I will still pick up my copy when it's released and probably feel different once I can change the teams and level, but for me the demo was just so-so. Which that is something that can be expected from an 8 minute demo game because it is exactly what it says......a demo.

The problem with the new next gen engine is that feeling of ice skating from one canned animation to the next. Honestly the engine itself is to blame, its just not very good. If you dont believe me go buy a copy of current gen 08' and compare the movement of the games.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

Has anyone else seen the onside kick glitch that I talked about earlier?

Also as far as the interceptions go I haven't seen them as an overly abundant problem. In four games I have seen 3 int's and no fumbles.

Has any noticed how the QB pump fakes? Looks like an odd animation to me.

I'm not seeing it either. The turnovers are well balanced, IMO.

I agree with you. The PS2 08 engine is much better than the next generation for some reason.
