NCAA Football 09 Preview: GameTap

GameTap has posted their preview of NCAA Football 09.

Quote:

"Study defenses in a video game? Here's how the QB challenge works: Once you throw a pick, you are shown a photo from the play and asked what defense your opponent just ran. "Answer correctly," says Haumiller, "and your quarterback will gain some of his composure back. Answer wrong, and your quarterback will start to feel rattled." But that's not the only time your players will get rattled, as home field advantage is also back in play. Explains Haumiller: "Home field advantage is essentially what you've seen in the PS2 version. If a player is rattled or has a poor performance, it will bring his ratings down. If he's a freshman going into a hostile environment, he's going to be rattled, so he's going to need to complete a few short passes to get his composure together and he'll bounce right back."

I dunno... I certainly hope so, but the guy only mentioned INTs by Users. The bigger problem was the CPU throwing way too many INTs.

That sounds cool. Didn't care for the snap shot feature they had after every big play in 08. Most of the time, the snap shot sucked. I'd rather just watch the replay, and snap photos there. This feature sounds like it's actually integrated into the gameplay.

It's new, great find. I think everyone around these parts knows to take EA's word with a grain of salt.

The quick calls mentioned for recruits also sound good. Seems like it will quicken the pace a little.

Can someone tell me if there are in game saves?

Picture caption for ND said something about playing House of Pain when they hit the field, but there are no team entrances.

"This is a full featured online dynasty. Everything you've expected from a dynasty mode is now online,"

"Our full stat tracking that goes in for dynasty will be in the online version, and we're also working with EA Sports World to get our stats displayed on the Web as well. You're going to be able to see your Top 25 lists, your Heisman results and so forth up on EA Sports World."

I like that. i just hope this year they are prepared better and don't let the site crash because of overload. i guess they didn't think people would be into uploading videos/pics.
