NCAA Football 10 Demo This Week

A handful of postings on Twitter confirm that the NCAA Football 10 demo is expected to be out later this week. In all likelihood that means on Thursday we’ll be getting the demo on the 360 in the early AM and on the PS3 in the afternoon.

I suspect that this demo will do little to change the negativity surrounding the game right now. Most of the improvements are subtle and overall the game feels an awful lot like 09. In a demo with abbreviated quarters those improvements will be less likely noticed. The good news is that it has been mentioned the difficulty levels will be adjustable. No word on the teams yet though it seems a safe bet that it’ll be a rematch of the National Championship with Oklahoma vs Florida.

The only negative thing I've got on this game so far is the dowloadable content others can pay for ….

At least they managed to put the demo out. I'll play it, and I might even have fun, but I doubt it will convince me to but it.

I play mostly offline when it comes to football games, so the rosters and pay-for-"cheats" DLC doesn't affect me all that much. I will download a corrected roster from the EA Locker when they are posted. Besides, the rosters will be completely different in 4-5 years of a Dynasty anyway.

The demo will showcase the gameplay, and that's what is important to me. Also, I am excited for NCAA's release to see Team Builder in action and play with my created schools.

You said everything I've been thinking. I could careless about online dynasty or anything else online outside of my getting rosters.

I'm going to take the Big East teams out and put in all my created teams.

This game is a no-buy for me. I see little change from 09. Season Showdown is one of the lamest ideas ever, and I have no desire to create a fake ass school.

Boiler Up!

Totally agree. No offense to anyone who wants to make up fake schools, but it really is kinda stupid.
http://intensedebate.com/people/sroeland sroeland

I agree that SS is pointless, but Team Builder is not just for creating "fake ass" schools. I went to a small D-III school and want to create that team with the actual uniform and logos. Team Builder allows me to do that. Team Builder is a much-more intriguing/useful feature than SS is…

So Pasta….no word on if the Commish can turn Off the "DLC" in Online Dynasty?….Man that would ruin what would have been otherwise a truly great follow up experience for NCAA….Commish should be able to turn it off….blows man

http://intensedebate.com/people/pastapadre pastapadre

I think they would've told us that it was possible by now if it was.
http://intensedebate.com/people/Sidewinder Sidewinder

That's actually a great idea, but yeah I'm guessing they didn't even think of it when they came up with the DLC.

I'm going to download it just to make sure it's safe for me to pre-order it online. If not I might just stick with Madden this year since I got NCAA over Madden last year.

ncaaa

get both man, you can import stuff into madden from ncaa

This may be first year it's not a day 1 buy. We'll see how the demo plays. I'll end up getting it at some point. I have gamefly so we'll see.

I'll be buying it at midnight release. Teambuilder alone is worth a buy to me, as it was so much of a lost cause not having CAS in any form since the PS2 days. Plus c'mon..Dynasty mode is heads over feet better than Franchise in Madden. I'll be different here and buy this at release and perhaps rent Madden.

i tend to buy madden and borrow ncaa because i like semi-realistic draft classes (i get the rosters named and such). i'll admit franchise has been weak the last…many installments, but i have a feeling this year will be much improved. and now with online franchise and all the other work they've put into it, maddens going to surpass ncaa in quality. it doesnt help that they've done some questionable work on ncaa

Does anyone else think the cheerleaders look like they're straight out of Sims 2?

Personally I'm excited for this game; mostly because it means football is around the corner. My bro and I will play online dynasty I'm sure, but this year I feel like NCAA might get left behind for Madden. First time that would have happened to me since '04
http://intensedebate.com/people/RMerino11 RMerino11

I probably buy NCAA on the first day it comes out just because of online dynasty. Even with all additions to Madden, the new online franchise turned me away. It seems like it need tons of improvement before it'll be working towards realism. Maybe next year though

Dcu

I agree with sroeland……
Great points!

http://intensedebate.com/people/sroeland sroeland

Thanks Dcu.

I did enjoy NCAA 09 … my only hope is that the gameplay is improved some over last year. That's why the demo will be important to me.

The rosters/DLC stuff bothered me at first, but I then realized it won't play a role in how I play the game (offline). But I do see these things as big problems to online players. The NCAA Football series could be in a bit of trouble if online players turn away from this series because of these issues.

I think people are way to negative about this game. I bet they will let the Commish turn off the DLC in online dynasties, but if not it really won't bother me. I mainly just play online games and offline dynasty. This game will be solid; it takes NCAA 09 and improves it, and that is all I need.

http://intensedebate.com/people/DoubleC18 DoubleC18

Same here. I don't know enough people to play Online Dynasty with, anyway… The only new feature I think I'll use will be Teambuilder… but I'll wait for people to create the Ivy League teams.

What a difference from last year. I hear the demo is coming out this week and don't really feel any excitement. It's like eh, whatever.

who cares about the DLC stuff.
I dont see why people are saying this game is going to be horrible.
If u claim to have loved 09 then why wouldnt u like 10
And if ur not going to pay money and go buy the game then u shouldnt complain about not being able to use teambuilder.

Same game with more features. Sounds good to me
Cant wait for demo baby

http://intensedebate.com/people/pastapadre pastapadre

NCAA 09 was my favorite game last year. And I love Teambuilder. But Online Dynasty they didn't do much to improve, the roster fiasco is a problem, and the DLC that affects OD is worrysome.

Now maybe I'll end up enjoying the hell out of it again. But right now I'm discouraged.

Pasta… when you get the real rosters, could you point us in the right direction so that we can download them through ea locker

I'm ready for the demo, and I'll probably buy the game. However, I will only buy the gane to be a holder over until Madden. I just wish they would have made a few more additions to the game. It seems very genreic compared to last year. Then the whole roster fiasco, just throws me for a loop. I do know this, I'm not going to pre-order it. I'll get it day two.

Not sure what the huge fuss is about with the DLC cheats and online dynasty.

Unless you're playing with a bunch of assholes you don't know, I seriously doubt anyone would do it. If anyone did, the commissioner could just kick them out.
