i think the game is amazing! it looks so much better than last year! The player models are very good! The movement is very realistic. I like how you actually have to plant to change directions. The stadium looks amazing, even though it is the crappy horseshoe...cant wait to see Miami's Stadium in the game!! I can't wait to play with my Hurricanes! This game may turn out to be the best college game ever! It has alot of promise and I think I am going to enjoy it for a very long time! Im not gonna have any cons because who knows how different the demo is than the final product. There are probably unfixed bugs in the demo that are not in the final. I mean I remember last year there was alot of injuries in the demo and in the game it was fine so im not worried about anything. July 15th cant come soon enough!!

is this an early build or is Ryan Perrilloux still on LSU? Overall i liked the demo the new player thing when u call a timeout is a nice touch. Really would like to see LB go back to RB had a guy wide open and got called for grounding.

I'll have to wait to the game comes out to decide about the pass rush and nanos. I got pressure with my front 4 with against the CPU, but in the two games I've played I was only sacked once by a DL(I actually rolled out to him). Most of the time, I had all day to throw.

Sliders should help though. Overall, it seems like a solid game.

Just finished another game using OSU.

I won 21-7.

The bad, I had 2 interceptions that I returned for TDs.

The very awesome.

LSU did the fake spike for a 20 yard gain.

[ehh]

I don't own a 360 anymore so I haven't followed NCAA 09's development at all so pardon me if this has been addressed...

How's the touch passing? Fixed/improved from 08?

I'm doing the same thing, not even sure why. I think I'm still bitter about the past couple of years...just looking for reasons to be disgusted with '09 already

Pros

-Game moves extremely nice. I thought it would feel to fast but it's really good and the animations look much smoother than I expected.

-Looks very good overall. Player models are great.

-Only had two fumbles so far in four games.

-Seems to be a good number of new plays

-The wide open gameplay seems to be more wide open from sideline to sideline and not necessarily tons of big plays, though I did have an 80+ yard run from Wells which was nice to see with the concerns of no big running plays.

Cons

-The crowd looks kind of bad. It really stands out when the camera sweeps over the crowd at the beginning of a game.

-Commentary is same old same old, but I think we all expected that and it's easy to ignore them.

-I still had a couple of ints I thought should have been completed. My receiver had a couple yards on the CB but he warped into place and picked it off.

-The CPU QB never takes sacks. The second you get close to him he just chucks it up for easy picks.

Overall I really like it and it's a nice improvement over last year. I think I'll definitely buy it.

And to think Madden looks even better.

They said it was fixed and much easier to put touch on passes. Check out the Q/A threads...

So how is the QB quick snapping is it as bad as we thought?
