I have played this demo a TON, and I gotta say... This year's NCAA is gonna be BADASS.

I really can't wait.

i haven't used it much, but in '08 it was more like a "nuke arm" than a stiff arm. the defender would just fly backwards akwardly after barely touching the ball carrier stiff arm. looks better in '09 but still overdone some.

Love the demo. And I was skeptical after last year - I just hope the CPU doesn't still throw 5 picks a game.

Defensive pass interference is still a joke.....It's a floater and I'm standin under the icon waiting to intercept the ball....the receiver comes in and I jump up to grab the ball and i'm called for pass interference !!!!!!

You know this game will have some things that will peave us for sure, but I have to say I agree, this game has me quite optimistic.

i have been trying painstakingly to perfect the new juke system over the last week..and i must say it finally paid off...during mid spin i broke it off and juked to the outside and took it to the house for a 45 yd TD..i almost cried....but the pass interference is some crap..it cost me the game once with no time left and they called it in the endzone and OSU got the ball on the 1 w/ no time and pulled a QB sneak..wtf ever..but overal this looks to be one of the best ones since 04.....im really pumped..

For real.

hmm.. i've had the opposite luck
i can't seem to get called for pass interference no matter how much i bump

and i can't wait til they make QB sneaks realistic, more how they look in real life
you kno with the pile-up and the push thru or leap over the pile

From the demo, has anyone noticed how much iceskating that is going on? I am referring to the ps3. I would think at 60fps, you wouldn't see any at all. This is worse than ancient gen editions. Hopefully this is corrected in the retail version.

The big time blitz-happy people will not be happy to see slip screens in this game...lol.
