But in the end the game is still too spastic. The game plays way to fast for me(watch the OL and DL get off the ball crazy stuff going on there) and the animations have all kinds of random speeds. The game lacks immersion from a presentation standpoint. No where close to a TV style presentation, which is something I think 90% of us want. I also ran the option 15 straight times (three separate drives) and scored 3 straight touchdowns. I average about 25 ypc running the load option with OSU over numerous games.

But the real reason I won't be buying NCAA is because 1) No accelerated clock 2) No create-a-play/playbook feature. Sorry but those two things make or break football games for me.

The game is definitely moving in the right direction but it seems like the game I was expecting as the first edition of next gen, not three years in.
funny a lot of people would say its still too slow, I think its about right, at least better than '08 where the players ran too slow.

i'm pretty sure the option was fixed between the build of the demo and the final build, everyone that went to the community day said it was at least.

i agree about the lack of presentation though.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

All right, one thing I noticed is that sometimes when you try to view your player art, as the visiting team your patterns will be blurred, shaky and difficult to distinguish. In addition, a couple of your receivers might not have their passing button assigned to them. Instead, you might see a question mark above his head.

I assume that this has something to do with the difficulty of the stadium in which you're playing.

Nice concept.

However, I noticed that it's inconsistent. For example, on 1st and 10, I check my play art and my team/QB is a little rattled, so I get the visuals I describe above. Second down and 6, same thing. On 2nd down, I get sacked for a big loss, making it 3rd and 14. I check the play art expecting to see the same thing, but instead play art is not affected.

It seems to me that if the crowd's disruptive on 1st and 2nd down, they'd be going nuts on 3rd and long.

You can't. It's PSN/XBOX Live only.

This will probably come across wrong... but I just don't think any year will ever be the year for you.

Go Bears though

Back at the top of page 82 of this thread, someone said that they downloaded it when they were at work and then put it on their PS3 at home. Maybe I misunderstood what he was saying, but I don't think I did.

I don't understand why it would be so hard to include an accelerated clock feature. Create a playbook/play is one of these no brainers....I don't see how a football cannot include this along with the game. It irks me to no end that they cannot include a damn play creator. Since we can do all the roster editing, recruiting, disciplining etc.... but we can't make the plays our team will run? Isn't anybody else a little upset about this? I can understand if you play campus legend mode and are only the player but when we run a dynasty we are essentially the coach and we cannot come up with innovative playbooks....isn't that how coaches make their name?

Its been years and I am still just dismayed that companies don't add this stuff. You can take al ot of the other crap as far as I am concerned but a play editor would seem essential.

To me it is the OL/DL that are way to quick and spastic. Watch how fast stunts, blitzes and cross blocks happen it is like they all morph into a spot right after the snap. I wish I could get our high school lineman to play like that!

oh, i see. i agree on the ol/dl speed. the "skill" players was what i was talking about.

create-a-play/playbook is high on my list of thing i wish were in. but its not a game killer to me. there is a chance that accelerated clock could come to NCAA '09, they are patching it in for Madden, and Ian said that the NCAA team was looking at it.
