What football game has ever been realistic? not any 2k, Madden, Ncaa, Fever, etc.
Any other football game ever released, has never been close to realism, because i could list over easily 20 gameplay problems with every game u think is "realistic"...
so I dont know what people are expecting, just because its 09, people expect to see a game like they would on CBS....
well lemme tell u something... other games may have had better pass rushing and pursuit angles, but i could list much MORE things that is does have better gameplay than the past...
The thing is, people think theyre easily impressed and satisfied because they know exactly what they want, then they realize something isnt in the game... and they freak out, go online, try to find others who will complain just like them to make them feel better.... but in the end, youre really just nitpicking and bitching, because football games have never progresed to match peoples expectations, mine or yours.....so ive concluded people are just whiners here. or young...

Excellent post my friend!
I went out and bought the game this morning (despite 95% of the reviews being negative) and am thoroughly enjoying it. I do consider myself to be a sim-head, but I also have realistic approach to all video games and realize that no matter how good a game is, it will have tons of flaws if you look hard enough for them.
Realistically, every game (even The Show and the NBA 2K series - which are absolutely outsanding) can be "arcadey" should you choose to play that way. Part of making a game a "true-sim" is the way you choose to play the game. If you play NCAA '09 similar to the way your team would be playing on Saturday, it's a pretty solid sim in my opinion.
Could it be better? Sure, of course. It definitely has its issues. But does does the show. So did NBA 2K8. So did the great NFL 2K5.
If you're on the fence as to whether or not to purchase this game, I would suggest renting it first - don't just read all of the negative comments on here and decide this game isn't worth purchasing. It's a must own for any college football fan in my opinion. And if Madden is basically the same game (on the field) with some additional tweaks, I will be a very happy man this fall.
