NCAA 10 Demo Impressions

[Tailback U]

I'm going to play another one this time as OU to get more impressions. Won't post a full recap like the last long ass post. Just more impressions.

I didn't play NCAA 09 much so take my impressions with a grain of salt. Also difficult to gauge the game based on just this demo.

I guess I'll play on All-American next to see the differences but I thought Heisman felt nice despite the run game struggles for me.

Looks like I'ma have to go download this bad boy. Impressions later.

Pretty pumped to try this out. I'll be getting the game either way but still excited to critique the demo.

Playing on All American right now and Tebow is making my OU D look like a bunch of pussies. 2 passes and they are on my 30.

1st play was a playaction out of shotgun, I was in a 4-3 cover 3 and my OLB bit hard on the playaction and Tebow hit the HB in the flat for a big gain. He was tough to tackle in the open field.

Next play I went nickel man to man and Florida was in 4 wide, my LB on his WR got burned on a crossing route for a huge gain.

3rd and 3, nobody is open and Tebow gets pressured and hit while he is thrown ball floats up in the air up for grabs but nobody is close to it. 4th down, UF kicks the FG.

I like OU's playbook much more. Florida's was all shotgun. I run two plays get 5 yards. I like the running game.

CB blitz on 3rd and 5 I throw the deep out toward that side but his OLB picks me off. I shouldn't have thrown it saw it all the way and saw my HB on a flare route open.

I manually make my OLB blitz and he kills a jet sweep toward his side for a 4 yard loss. Pretty cool.
Florida kicks FG they're up 6-0.

Return game is much more realistic and difficult than last years.

I don't know if it's OU's OL or UF's DL but my OG's have flat out missed their guys on some runs.

Feel like I've seen too many flags for having only played 2 games so far. Holdings and clippings on too many run plays for my taste.

Corner covers my WR in man to man on an out route on the wide side of the field like a fly on shit...Breaks it up beautifully. Perfectly played. nice to see.

My WR drops a wide open pass on 3rd and 18. Corso wants me to fake it, lol.

Damn my whole D got sucked into this run out of SG and the HB broke it outside for a 60 yard TD run. Untouched. I played it pretty poorly with my FS but everyone was sealed.

I run 2 plays in a row for 7 yard gain and 8 yard gain, 2nd one is called back for holding. This is getting old already.

Complete a curl route on 3rd and 14 for a 13 yard gain, run QB sneak next play and my QB automatically dives forward after getting the snap but gets the 1st.

I throw a deep bomb and his FS skies up for it to pick it off. I try to control my WRs but I can't get in position or close enough to the ball to make them go up for it.

I stop him on 3rd and 5 but get a personal foul flag for facemask. Game over, I lose 13-0.

All American felt harder than Heisman, lol. I'll have to play again in a little bit. Couldn't really see the differences between the two. Hell, I played better on Heisman than All American.

I just remembered I played the last game with my offensive and defensive game plans set to AGGRESSIVE the entire time. I think maybe that is probably why it felt different and difficult. I didn't set up anything and my players played shitty. At least I'm hoping that was the case.

Playing this next one on balanced. I don't really like this game plan shit.

Was player locked on the MLB and in a 4-3 zone blitz with both MLBs blitzing, UF ran a jet sweep the WR broke it to the outside and was gone for a 50 yard TD. Fucking computer is kickign my ass.

And my HB fumbles on the next play on an ISO run.

All in all I like the demo and I don't enjoy playing vs the CPU. I never have and never will. I am strictly an online player, haven't played franchise/dynasty since online play became available and don't plan on starting any time soon because playing the computer just bores me.

But I like this game. I am definitely buying it. Online play should be fun so long as we can get a good core group of sim players.

Florida's custom uni with orange pants, blue jersey, black socks and black shoes is dope.

It's really hard to stick with the run. Obviously has to do with 2 minute quarters but it is so hard to consistently even get 3 yard gains I feel like. Maybe I just suck.

As I type this up I break a speed option pitch for 20 yards that is called back for holding. If you keep your gameplan on aggressive you get a lot of penalties. I keep forgetting this.

[Tailback U]

Waited till the very last second to throw a screen pass with Tebow. It was lofted way out toward the sideline, my linemen really weren't even close to my HB but my HB had nothing but space. Spin move in the open field to make one guy miss and my HB breaks it for about a 50 yard gain but is caught by the FS. Pretty cool play.

Demo not out for PS3 Yet .

Just for the record, I've played 2 games on All American and 2 on Heisman and I have not won a single game yet.

Not that I am really playing all that serious, I've gone for it on 4th down pretty much 99% of the time and am just trying shit out but really, I can't win.
