    Not really. There's one good feature on the list.

    Literally every single other thing on that list was either in last gen or 2k's games. Oh wait, we can return field goals.

    So essentially the list reads:

    Online dynasties
    Most of the PS2/Xbox features come back
    Returnable field goals

      That's all I need it to read. Like I said..the rest is filler.

      The AI was pretty good after the patch in this years version. Just tighten up the DB/LB Pass interaction and have the CPU throw deep and I'm good to go.

      But then again..I'm old and easily amused.

            Very impressive features list by EA. The main thing will be implementing all of this stuff and getting it to work together without any major bugs.

            More wide open game play, breakaway crowd reactions, online dynasty, file sharing, formation audibles, smart routes, better passing control, and random play selection in practice are the huge ones for me.

            PS3 running at 60FPS was an absolutely must for me, and they apparently got it done. I'm really excited for this game to come out, it has tons of potential to be great if EA can implement all these features and make game play slightly smoother. Time will tell.

              From what I understand, it's basically dynasty for offline mode, only online. Each team will be controlled by an actual online player instead of the computer, and you'll basically play out the season with the teams selected.

              I'm not sure if recruiting is done, but that'd be really sweet if it was.

                EA could give them everything they want and deliver a fantastic game and they still would hate it. People act like NCAA 08 was atrocious.

                  This is true. I'm still having fun playing '08 online. Sure there's issues like 30FPS, the slight lag online, and cheap plays like the option and big formation tosses, but overall, it was a really solid game. I think people were way too hard on it.

                  I look for '09 to make huge strides, and I don't think I'll be disappointed.

                    EA can produce a steaming pile of garbage and people still buy it. 2008 was really, really bad. Especially if you had been playing the PS2 version the last few years. I felt like I was mugged and the mugger got away with $60 and alot of features I really liked.

                          The only thing that really scares me after looking at all the information and video available is that they seemed to really focus on the offensive side of the ball and not on D. The things I noticed that have been said are WR geting open easier, Oline opening bigger holes for easier running, Smart Routs, Formation Audibles, Better Juke Controls.... does anyone see a trend here?

                          I don't want this game to be a matter of who touches the ball last wins because the O is so overpowered. They have not really mentioned one improvement on D have they?

                            Now we haven't seen more details, so maybe I am wrong on this. But for the average gamer, what sells the game? The prospect of overpowered defenses or overpowered offenses? Not too many of the casual gamers would love to get into a 13-10 struggle, but I am sure a lot would love a 31-28 struggle. Offense is flashy and exciting, while to most, defense isn't as exciting.

                              While I don't think they'll ever list it as a game improvement, I would like to seem them return to the old gen. version of the play calling screen. You can save a lot of time off the play clock when you have 3 options to call a play.
                              That would be great, I don't expect it though, not enough complaints about it.

                              Seems that way, but I would take a high def version of that on xbox live arcade anytime.

                              ...Now excuse me while I reserve my seat on the NCAA'09 Hype Train
                              Hope your right, but I don't want to feel like I have been pick pocketed of my 60 anymore.

                              Sadly it was atrocious after several games online, exhibition, and dynasty. I had to put back 07' for the xbox 1, and play with outdated rosters. I am glad you were able to enjoy it, I tried. I even put it in recently and only got through one game.
