Several people have pointed out the freshman level thing, but we also need to remember that this isn't anywhere near being the final product. The game is still at least a month away from being more or less finished, plus there will be another month of testing/polishing before it goes gold.

I'm excited about the potential of what I saw in this vid, and I'll be be very interested to see what the game looks like in a month or two.

Yay! Madden Sugar Buzz gaming has made it's way to NCAA 2009!

With Madden I don't care anymore, with NCAA, I keep getting closer to that day. If that game speed doesn't slow down by July, I'm out. I'm not in a rush to finish a game like the rest of the world.

Man every year with console sports gaming that goes by I'm more and more thankful for text based sim gaming. It's funny, the better our technology, the worse it's getting.

This is true, I think last year they were talking about still tuning right up until the beginning of June. But also we don't know what we can do with this game with sliders. I actually felt last year that sliders were pretty effective (especially after the patch) and could be adjusted to make a pretty enjoyable game, in fact I seem to find a slider set every year that makes the game play close enough to the way I want, so I'm optimistic about enjoying the game again. Of course it's still no excuse for all the odd design decisions and lack of other features in the game, but what can you do?

The player models are excellent, but some animations are a little clunky.

Jesus they are excited about players being able to celebrate with mascots. Seriously? They are hanging there hat on that? Promoting that as if anybody gives a crap? Seriously? At 10yrs old I wouldn't have cared about that.

What a joke.
