It was The only thing that saved you in that game against Vick was suction tackling.

you guys will get a kick out of this. Last night as I was replaying these with my jaw on the ground, I was reminded of the old nes game 10 yard fight. Remember how the defense on that game would just mimic the movement of the running back. Think of that game and then watch these videos

People will do this online. FACT. I honestly havnt seen this poor of AI since PS1 football. I dont want to pile on but this simply cannot be acceptable. Any of you defending EA on this particular issue lose every spec of creditability you had and simply become a fanboy.

Give me a freaking break. You people throw around that stupid-*** "fanboy" word so much, it makes me want to throw up. I don't give a crap about EA Sports, MS, Sony, Nintendo, anybody. I play what I like, period. I know that's hard to fathom for some of you though.

Anyway, you know what? Get rid of the damn game then. If it's so indefensible, sell it, and don't play it anymore. And don't give me this stupid garbage about how you don't see this stuff in any other games and that the AI is as bad as X or Y game.

This freaking crap happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR. When are you people going to acknowledge and accept that? Every year, there are "money plays." Every year, there are players/teams/plays that are unstoppable no matter how much you try. And EVERY YEAR, we have HUMAN opponents who take advantage of the game to make it even more unrealistic than what it already is. It's unbelievable to me how you people will flip-out over the CPU AI not running to the ball carrier, but hey it's just absolutely no problem that the guy is trying to run around like that in the first place. Or that someone will drop back 20 yards every play and roll out w/ fast QB's just to wait for a guy to get open. Or thow HB screens on every play because the LB's can't guard the flats. Or toss the ball up deep and control the WR's to perform rocket catches play after play.

PLEASE tell me how that's any different? You all bitch, and moan, and bitch, and moan ENDLESSLY about the CPU AI not giving you an exact 100% representation of the game of football, but when exactly do you hold human players accountable for how unbelievably stupid they play? When the CPU plays like this, it's "EA SUCKS! Make the game better!!" When YOU play like that, it's "LOL lrn2play noob!" It's an f'ing joke and you all act like immature babies with zero understanding of what it means to hold yourself accountable to the same standards you hold others.

Just shut the hell up and play the game yourself the same way you expect the CPU to play, or just get rid of the damn game because your expectations are NEVER going to be met. How can they be when you hold the game to higher standards then you do yourself?

"WIDE OPEN GAMEPLAY" = No D AI. Way to go EA, some more of your innovations

You guys act surprised. I've been saying this all along. The last "game" that I can play is NCAA 08 on the Xbox1. All the EA next-gen football games are tech demos. They are not accurate simulations of the sport. NCAA '08 on XBox1 may have its share of bugs and the lack of the ability to turn off momentum, but the physics intertwined with the animation engine of this game is light years ahead of anything NCAA '09 is on 360 or PS3.

This is why I want to keep the Xbox1 alive in terms of rosters on NCAA '08.

Madden '09 is supposedly coming out of Xbox1. Why NCAA '09 would not come out for Xbox1 and Madden '09 would makes absolutely no sense to me. But given the simulation aspects of NCAA '08 on Xbox1 absent in NCAA '09 on PS2, NCAA '08 probably the last college football game I will ever play, unless something drastically changes moving forward.

You guys act surprised to see the way Heisman plays on the 360 / PS3 engine. It's a tech demo. It's just football players lined up sent to go in random directions with horrid collision detection. But somehow that is all okay with some people "because the crowd looks so good". well i like the way the crowd looks on next-gen too, but there is more to a game than that. NCAA 06 & 07 & 08 on Xbox1 are actual games. Realistic physics, realistic tackles. Great playbooks. Great interface. Great deep substitutions. Great playbook editor. And there are some bugs in there that never got fixed that sucks, but what is there is excellent.
