Official NCAA Impressions Thread (360, PS3)

[ronnyballgame]

Just picked it up, working now, be playing tonight after I snatch the rosters from someone's locker!

[WatsonTiger]

just finished up game 3 of my LSU Dynasty

W vs. Appy State 35-10
W vs. Troy 41-14
W vs Okie St* 24-14
gonna save the AU game for later..

overall im impressed, and i like the fact that ole dumb@ss Perriloux has been removed from the game

but i did have to adjust the sliders after the Troy game on defense.







*-I wasnt going to play a cupcake 3 weeks in a row. Other than that i try to follow the real schedule

So it's confirmed that bringing the defense sliders down to 0 for pass rushing and the Offensive line up to 100 will better your defensive rush?

Hopefully a patch will come out soon, I heard of the punt coverage being bad but online my players were backing up and letting my opponent player walk into the endzone. And the pick 6's?? Come on just take it to the sideline and walk in the endzone..The coverage is badbut besides that its not bad, just dont punt or throw a pick.

Gameplay is alot of fun but when the score is 28-14 after the 1st quarter I get worried. Like Auburnalumni has been saying the whole time, "Where is the D?". It's almost like EA forgot to program them.

Bad: Lots of missed tackles, Recruiting gets old quick, Campus Legend is more of the same, Icing the kicker works way too well.

Lots of missed tackles? Not seeing it.

Recruiting gets old? Not if you're into the recruiting aspect.

Campus Legend? Yeah except the improved some angles and it's still a blast to play. Since when to we give a negative to something that is already cool but don't add to it?

Icing the kicker works too well? Nope. Don't see that either.

They basically talked more good than bad, even saying the gameplay is better!, and yet give 08 an 8 score and 09 a 7.5

Yeah there's some issues with the game but it's certainly better than 08.

Just like NCAA's sliders..this makes no sense. IMO of course.

I agree. I know its personal preference, but i LOVE the recruiting aspect and how its handled. Doesnt get tedious for me, but for others it does. Im worried about missed tackles, but no one seems to be crying foul on it.

Id like to get some impressions on dynasty, online dynasty, recruiting and such (wont have game for about 6 hours)

In regards to offline dynasty and recruiting, I still like it. I'm not sure I trust the quickcall feature yet, but searching for recruits is a lot easier. I've just started an offline dynasty with Stanford, so there's a challenge to recruiting.

i did that a couple of times in the demo when the rush was coming down on me and i panicked

No. Results, no matter the sliders, seem random at best, IMO.
