Punts are "lame" in a video game I guess. A lot of people don't want strategy to be a part of the game. They want a fun game where they can be handed success.
The funny thing this is the type of game i like to play when there are a bunch of friends over and we are drinking and the loser gets off the sticks.

But i like a more sim style when i'm playing someone online or in my dynasty

yea, punts were rare in '08. i dont remember ever punting more than 2-3 times in a game at most. most of the time its 0-1 punts a game.

yeah I would remember that my punter wouldnt even qualify to be in the stats leader contention because he didnt have enough punts...mind you I was using offensive juggernaut SMU

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

The BIGGEST problem with the game last year= pick 6/ints.

Doesn't seem like it's fixed this year. I'm not a developer/producer, but fixing the way DB's react doesn't seem like something that can just be tweaked at the end of a development cycle. Yes, there is still time, but WTF have they been doing for the last 9 months? Adding mascot games?

Hopefully, and there really isn't any past precedence for me to be optimistic, the sliders will actually work.

Looks like many people's fears about the offense being way overpowered were well placed. Maybe Madden will have it fixed.......yeah right.
