New NCAA Videos

Video did look really fluid, almost 60fps.

I agree. Marketing departments for NCAA, Madden, and 2k8 are really subpar.

hell chyea. I hope they make mendenhall and juice alot better in this game. I am also curious about the ratings of arellious and martez.

I think they were showing the second and third DB's reacting to the player in a realistic fashion after the catch. Last year they would take bad pursuit angles and end up doing the conga line into the end zone. I was impressed by all the videos. Must have for me....

^^^^^^^^^^^^ (WELL SAID!)
The endzone conga line, at least in its horrifying 2007 incarnation, was not in the game. Not only because of the DB pursuit angles (which ARE much better) but alsop because of the in-play fatigue changes.

I loathed the endzone conga line, and was very happy to not see it in 2008 the other day....
