Re: New Features for NCAA 09 Listed

I think the mascot game may have more to do with the Wii not the x360/ps3!!!! I THINK!!

No, this is for 360/PS3. So happy to have mascot games back, OH BOY. Christmas has come early fellas!

Formation audibles
Smart routes
Random plays in practice mode
Online roster sharing

Yeah those sound good.

-Post game show sounds cool too.

-Post play continuation.. what is this?

Also, EA nobody plays those mascot games you dopes.

Re: New Features for NCAA 09 Listed

Only 2 things from this list really impress me......dynamic crowd reactions and better passing control.

The rest either were in last gen, been done in other games, or very vague, possibly underwhelming descriptions.

Re: New Features for NCAA 09 Listed

"Dynamic crowd system"- does this mean the fans will leave if it's a blow out and that sucky schools won't have sellouts? They need to put that back into the game.

I also didn't get all that excited about the game.. this is all stuff that should be in it. Now the gameplay hopefully will look and feel different but I doubt it'll be the best NCAA or anything crazy like that.

Re: New Features for NCAA 09 Listed

Sounds GREAT..... so far. Please test the game this year before releasing it though because if all these great new features are in the game and the CPU doesn't throw the long ball or it's a turnover fest, the feature list means NOTHING because the game will be unplayable.

Co-sign. However, I am excited about a lot on that list. Please EA, do NOT jack up the gameplay and I will be and !!

I just knew I couldn't contain my excitement for too long. I'm still a skeptic like all of us, but this list has slightly lifted my spirit.

The official NCAA Football 09 website has posted some of the new features we can expect this year.

What is POST PLAY CONTINUATION???

I don't think anyone is quite sure yet.

Seriously tho, how is this a bullet point feature? I can understand mentioning it in an interview or in a preview, but in a feature list? That's ridiculous. It should have been in last year(as well as in 07) and EA shouldn't use it as something to get a pat on the back this year. EA is really funny.

Re: New Features for NCAA 09 Listed

Hmm...anybody notice this was all posted with a 4.1.08 date?

Re: NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

I don't think anyone is quite sure yet.

im thinkin it means when the play is over players will act accordingly, perhaps celebrating a big play, helping teammates up, etc etc.

i am still hoping for ESPN overlays and better pre and postgame presentation.

Alot of good things on the list. But the list sounds good every year.

HFA scares me a bit.

I would be cautious about the online dynasties. NHL '08 is a great game, but the online leagues are very bare-boned. No stats, no postseason etc.

I am more concerned about the features they don't promote. Like last year they neglected to promote 12 turnover games with 2 gauranteed pic 6's.

I have high hopes for this game, and this list is exciting........but not near high enough for it to be an automatic purchase.

Re: NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

I don't think anyone is quite sure yet.

Thats why I am kinda having a problem year after year with EA/Tiburon...Alot of the stuff on the list SOUNDS pretty good but its all just a bunch of rhetoric and BUZZ words.

Dynamic this or Interactive that, smooth FPS...blah, blah, blah...meanwhile I will guarantee you that you'll still be able to hike the frickin ball and SPRINT straight backwards 25 yards and throw a 60 yd strike...Or better yet you'll run the option get tackled but pitch the ball out of the helmet ear hole...There will not be weather online. The rest of the crap they are talking about is, like many have said, REINTRODUCED features.

If EA really wanted to improve the game they would start with a NEW PHYSICS ENGINE...I swear every year they brag about the THOUSANDS of animations added to the game but I'll be damned if I only end up seeing the same stale animations game after game.

I realize I sound like the ***** but truth be told NCAA is one of my favorite games and its not that EA's iteration of NCAA is unplayable or a BAD game...Its just getting old seeing the same old game year after..year...after...(get my drift)
