nothing, besides EA owning the exclusive football video game rights to every NCAA program and BCS Bowls. This deal was longer than the one they signed for the NFL, and it was in the same year.

anyone know the exact lenght of this contract? and when, maybe, could we look forward to a 2k college fball game?
i know EA has the rights, but how long exactly do they have them?

six years starting in 2005.

Spartan, I agree with all the points you made....But they don't need an overhaul for that. They just need to tweak or add things (perhaps I should say "ReAdd") as many of these things existed on the old gen.

The only thing I am a little hesitant on is the long ball. Yes, it is too tough to complete a long pass this year, but in most previous versions it was much too easy to lob it deep. I hope it is slightly easier next year...but if I had to choose between 2 evils, I'll choose to make the deep pass tough...TD's feel earned.

i agree....i wouldn't like to see them change anything about the deep ball...this is the first year where its not a total cheesefest in regards to it

NCAA & EA in general need to just tweak some things instead of always removing features and implementing new one's like JTS

Even though people rag on this game its much much better than '07 on 360

[parker002]

JTS is one new "feature" that they could remove and I wouldn't bat an eye.

He makes a good point.... I suggest not playing it if you get so angry.

Personally, I am going to do my best to enjoy it.

I hope all of these suggestions/complaints are in the NCAA 09 Wishlist thread. I know it doesn't always seem or feel like it, but Developers do visit sites like this... getting this information to them in the most effective way possible is essential. Does it mean anything? Time will tell.

Thanks, guys.
