NCAA Football 09 Interview

[UNC_Pete]

I'm waiting on this one. Unless the LB and secondary AI is improved substantially I won't be buying it. (I assume I won't be buying it..)

[Sausage]

If I don't see these enhancements it is a rental at best:

First things first wait until the big patch is released.

Second thing I will look for is television presentation from coin toss, new commentary, better stat over lays, sideline animations, refs, facemask penalty, cheerleaders, goal nets, dynamic crowd, alternate unis, and edit ability. Also important games should be mentioned by the commentators and the crowd should be more rowdy.

Third thing
Now onto gameplay:
*Better A.I. play, not everyone just plays online, we need good A.I. to hone our skills.
*Dynamic tackling (gang/individual/etc.)
*Better O-line blocking and interaction with the D-line
*Greater differentiation from a great player to a good player to an average player
*No pauses in playbook screen

Fourth thing
*Dynasty upgrades
-quicker transitions from all the screens
*Tournament mode
*Rivalry games

There has been more than enough time and excuses. If not they have already lost 3 sales because my buddies care about my opinion. That is a .0000003 sales hit, lol. If enough people can keep themselves from buying a shoddy product, then in 09' we can get more poo shoved in our face. Peace.

Read the interview again and watch the pre alpha video and it clearly shows (and in the interview) that they have put more people on the sidelines and added cheerleaders already at that early stage of development. So the enivroment issue this year, 9/10 will be improved. Here another thing you should go see, go to gamespot.com and watch the NFL head coach 09 preview. That video is some evidence that the ESPN presentation will be used in Madden and NCAA as well.

No it isn't.

Nah, I actually enjoyed the game too.

I'll be honest though, my patience IS wearing thin. Tune up the gameplay, and for GOD'S SAKE, get referees on the field, nets behind the goal posts and ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THESE GAMES FOR 10+ YEARS.

Concentrate on GAMEPLAY...and I don't mean how to perform 287 special moves with the damn analog stick. How about.....decreasing every DBs ability to jump 60" and swat a ball down without even looking for it? Allowing the CPU QB to THROW DEEP? Making LBs play more like College Linebackers and less like some Bionic Ray Lewis with a 50" vertical, hands of Jerry Rice, and awareness of a Super Computer? 3. Take a giant cue from Sega's 2k College Basketball series and add in a preaseason show, a weekly wrap up show, and a BCS preview show. And don't tell me it can't be done...friggin' 2k's been doing it for 3 years now. See EA. It's not that hard to improve on what I think is the second best sports title BEHIND College Hoops. But I doubt I'll see much if any of the above. Instead I'll get "super duper spin move/crazy juke mode" and "create your own cheerleader".

True. True. Everything I woulda said you said for me.

EA Sports slogan should be, "EA Sports where everything old is new again..."

Ha! I actually like:

"EA Sports, if it's in the game...this year...it won't be next year.

-or-

"EA Sports, if it's in the game...we're looking into that for next year."
