NCAA Football 10 Demo Now Available

Did anybody notice or see that there was no EA Locker? Or maybe I just over looked it.

My impressions so far of the demo Is just ok. It plays and feels alot like NCAA 09 to me. I love that u can customize your uniforms though. However, maybe it's the coach in me, but the swing down tackle is horrible!! Why??? That so against all defensive coaching. I also saw a horrible glitch where I was Florida and Sam Bradford was trying to scramble away. My D-Lineman had him but he skipped out. How come the animation continued to go and he got sacked and I wasn't even holding him? Lol

great demo!

this is just a tweaked ncaa 09 with $60 price tag

A lot of people are talking about it being too easy to complete passes, and I think we need to take into account that we have two of the best QBs in the game to play with. Bradford probably would have been the #1 pick in the draft last year, and some consider Tebow possibly the best college player ever. I won't claim "too easy' until my freshman QB with 64 THA is dominating

I'm very interested in hearing why the PS3 graphics in the demo are noticably worse compared to NCAA 09. I even downloaded the 09 demo to compare with the final game from last year to see if the demo from last year had poor graphics compared to the final game. The graphics from the 09 demo appear to be identical with the 09 final release. Yes, I am playing on an HD TV with an HDMI connection.

It appears that for some reason, the PS3 has taken a major graphical hit in terms of player models, jersey textures and especially helmet appearance quality with regard to lighting / reflections. The OU helmet looks like a throwback from the PS2.

There are minor gameplay improvements, but with the very bad graphics, I will not pay $60 for a few gameplay tweaks and a chance to build a high school team online.

EA needs to clarify why the graphical quality is so poor. If these are the graphics that will be part of the final release, they should be embarrassed.

I agree 100%. The graphics are worse. The players look too cartoony. The framerate is choppy also. Somebody please explain why EA has to sacrifice certain aspects of the game like framerate, sideline graphics, etc... in order to add other things like gameplay improvements? With all the power of these Next Gen systems that's unacceptable. Don't tell me it can't be done because MLB the Show 09 pulled it off. Is this the best EA can do?

I liked playing it, and i'm gonna buy it no matter what, but i didn't see the improvements in blocking i was looking for. Yes, the pocket was better, but in terms of pancakes there weren't enough. Padre, do u know if easports has worked to fix the lack of in game pancakes leading to say a steve hutchinson finishing the season with 10 pancakes?

I absolutely hate this game!!! I'll still buy it though. LIke all you complainers.

this game sucks

This demo looks like atari graphics..WTF..Huge Disappointment..Looks just like last years..Identical
Definitely not worth another 60 bucks..I will stick with Madden only this year.!!

i dont c how u ppl can play the demo and say its terrible and to not buy it! its way better than madden and ncaa 09 by far. the fuckin duck throws themself make the game better than either 09'. the game doesnt seem as arcady as it usually is. and is it me or does the pass defense in real life college football suck????????? dont lie because it does. i also love how i have a reciever wide open but being anxious i hold the analog stick hard to the right or too far up and the throw is just off. thats realistic, and i also like how i only get a little time in the pocket before i get crushed. i just like realistic football and thats what i felt playing this game. the new tackle animations r great. and ive seen like three new hard hits that look extremely real. but for some reason i didnt get real qb pocket very often. that was kind of odd to me. but i love the demo. also i want madden to copy the way screen plays r exicuted in ncaa. screens r much more realistic in ncaa and have been for about three years.

Now that this demo has been released, theres no excuse for anyone to waste their money on this game and complain about it afterward. Its all out there. Try it out, and keep your copy of 09.

I've been enjoying the demo with each game i've played, but there are a couple things that bother me. Ones not that bad, and is just the fact that the play screen can be delayed a second or so when switching between formations and/or being able to click A when moving up and down in formations. BUT the other is how the camera does not follow the ball to the receiver/defensive back. I don't know if my vision just sucks or what, but I can't tell where the ball's gonna end up until a split second before it actually does. I've let up a couple of bombs just b/c I misread the depth of the pass, and was either deep or short by about 5 yards.

ITS EXACTLY THE SAME AS NCAA 09!

FUCK NO!

but everyone this aint a final....so if ur gonna complain ...complain about important things so maybe they fix em....dont complain about hemlets....it really aint a big deal to me..just though id point it out.. n dont complain bout flashy lights in the crowd....god it really aint big deal....n color shoes n gloves aint no biggy either...most players in college dont wear color shoes n gloves....for the most part ncaa is lookin good...but mainly because of online dynasty...was a big hit last year...n will b a big hit this year....wat they need to do is add slots...moree than 12....let it be where 30 players can join ur online dynasty....

let me tell yal....my opinion is the best...ive been playin both mmadden and ncaa for a long time now....so here it is....ncaa 2010 was pretty good...its realisitc....i just hope theres a difference with good o lineman n crap o lineman....then it will make me want to recruit good oline in dynasty....cuz lets be honest...last year...who cared about olineman....just run....but this year u can c that if ur o line suks....it would b difficult...especially since wen u get hit u throw sum crap passes ...(which is awesome)

things to complain about would be the amount of times i saw this 1 tackle animation....where defender grabs him by shoulder pads n throws him....its a cool animation but not for every tackle....especially wen i see it in the trenches....n also id like to see field goals get alil bit harder...llike in the old madden where u had to get power n then meter went down and u had to get accuracy...dont know y they changed it...now its to easy...revolution helmet still looks horrible..makes tebow look retarded...

I agree about the accuracy for kicking. I never understood why they changed it, but oh well, they won't change it back because it's too easy.

yay still no new face masks. at least theres new cheerleading animations, bands pre game, and fg nets.......

I think Player lock is a great feature. Outside of that Madden blows this game out of the water. After playing the demo I went back to watch some of the game play vids that Ian posted and for me it is night and day.

This game is frickin terrible, on every aspect!

i got iced in my second game im pretty sure

i like it. the uniform/sock/shoe selection makes it a buy for me. after years of waiting, justice has been served.

Hawkeye4077?

All you are doing is telling people they are wrong to like the game.

I like the passing:

Hawkeye4077 says: The passing sucks, why buy?

I like the improved defensive angles:

Hawkeye4077 says: The pursuit angles suck, why buy?

I am loving the demo, this is fun:

Hawkeye4077 says: You don't know what fun is, why buy?

I enjoyed the demo and agree it is a cleaned up version of 09. WTF were you expecting? A lot of things have been cleaned up and I always plan on playing with CPU AI at 100 anyways.

Hate all you want, but stop arguing with people that they enjoyed the damn thing!

how is the running game, fellas? has it been improved? are the o-line able to open up holes/lanes for the RB much better?

Sorry guys, but pass D sucks, straight up. It's only a demo, so you can't pass the final judgement yet, but what was in the demo in terms of pass defense was terrible, just like last year. The whole CPU adapting to your play calling gimmick that they talked about is complete bull. I tested the theory by running the same play for the entire game and completed about 80% of the time on heisman. Not only that but playing with Tebow is extremely easy to roll out of the pocket and either scramble for 10 yards at will or buy an extra few seconds (no pocket formation even close to what we've seen from Madden). If it was that much of a joke playing against the #2 team I'd hate to see how playing against Eastern Michigan would be like.

Well, it's a demo so I guess you can't be too critical just yet. I'll start with one of the only positives I found: the player lock camera (especially on defense, especially on a safety) is pretty sweet. It, of course, leads me to wonder if Madden is going to have a similar feature, which I would suspect it will. Other than that, it's hard to find any good out of the demo. The CPU defense is still garbage vs. the pass, and is it me, or does the gameplay to feel different (not in a good way). I haven't played a football video game in a year because I played both NCAA 09 and Madden 09 for about a month respectively before it was a wrap for the year.

The game just has a real herky jerky feel to it and maybe it's because of watching all of the Madden 10 clips that the game feels uncomfortably fast. Like I said, I haven't played football in quite a while so maybe it's just that I haven't played that makes me feel like there's something just off. One thing I do know is there is no WOW factor whatsoever. Considering all the hype and attention Madden is getting, EA will be lucky to sell 200K of NCAA 10. Many in the community are pissed and finally people are getting fed up with getting ripped off!

I think EA will sell a ton of NCAA, if only because you get a $40 trade in for Madden at GS

Less than a month to go, Great game and it's only the demo, the real game will be the sh*t. Stop bitching about the flashes it's the National championship game, the bigger the game the more flashes. An EA guy said today that they will have the patch (rosters) ready on July 14....... I'm so ready, football is the best.

It may be the national championship but the flashes are still annoyingly unrealistic.

wow yall are the naggingest mother fuckers ever, yall get mad over CAMERA FLASHES and STUFF LIKE PLAYERS ON THE SIDELINE... do us all a favor and shut your fucking mouth

Football is the best, but this game is garbage. Why would anyone possibly want to buy this game if they have NCAA 09?

yes

is it out for ps3?

the game rocks dude player lock is amazing!

Incredibly disappointed. Camera flashes are annoying. 10 flashes every 2 seconds thats a little much and unrealistic. I dislike the new gameplay camera. Feels way too much like madden 09. I liked NCAA 09 because of the unique style of gameplay compared to madden 09. I feel the demo is a lot like madden now. The AI when in open field doesn't use jukes or spins, it just does robotic turns. The play calling screen felt a little laggy. I was a huge fan of NCAA 09 but from this demo i don't like what I see so far for Ncaa 10.

also i love that there is an actual pocket now..good work ea

What game are you playing. There is no kind of pocket formation dude. Do you know what a pocket is?

I did get a pocket 1 time lol I have seen 1 tho just 1.
