NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

ForeseenBurrito · 06-21-2008, 02:47 PM

I'm very surprised at the number of people who have said they aren't going to buy this game based off a demo, which stems from an earlier build that, according to those who have played the newer version, has problems that have already been fixed. I personally thought the demo was great, especially for being an earlier build. I personally don't think it's fair to judge a game based on a demo that has known issues, especially since the retail game is still a month off. IMO, this demo should be treated more as a beta, with us as game testers giving feedback on the pros and the cons of the game. This demo cannot be justification on buying or not buying the game, especially with the mostly positive feedback we've heard from the developers and those who've played the newest version. I'd say give the game a chance. At least wait until the game comes out and hear from those who have played the game first hand or rent the game first before completely throwing the game off the radar. That's just my opinion though.

Exactly, and it was the same last year... How is it no one gets this??

from what i hear, i kinda lik the demo. however, i haven't played the demo which sucks. im at my grandma's who has hi-speed but has all tv's from the 1960's w/ no a/v jacks. this is where i was lookin for a little help.

i can plug my 360 into the internet, but w/ no screen. could someone help navigate me so i could download the demo (as in a move by move from 360 startup) and then I could take it to my friend's house to play?

Please???

Thanks, Spence

I am inspired by your dedication, your resiliency, your determination to get the job done in the face of daunting obstacles that stand in your path. Don't ever lose that spirit, man.

Dude, there comes a point when a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Grab your 360 and start knocking on neighbors doors.

Yeah this seems to work. I was changing when I snapped on the play clock but wasn't using this very much.

Played the demo a few times. Its the first time I've played any "next-gen" football title. I liked it a lot. I just suck at running, I think. It feels like I'm always met in the backfield on any traditional running play. Options seem to work ok for me.

But other than that, nothing that sliders shouldn't be able to fix (passing %, lack of pressure on QB's)
