The demo for NCAA Football 10 is now out on the XBL Marketplace and will go up with the PSN update this afternoon. Featured is a National Championship rematch of the Florida Gators against the Oklahoma Sooners with two minute quarters. The difficulty level is adjustable which is probably a factor in its large size of 1.57 GB.

Leave your thoughts and impressions of the demo in the comments! I’ll get some videos to go up this evening and maybe some observations based on what may be different in the version I played at E3 which was likely a slightly more recent build than what the demo was built off of.

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…

charles

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.

alex

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….

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.

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 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.

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'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.

Josh

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?

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

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

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