I scored a TD with Wells and went up to the Mascot and he did the Heisman pose.

He's in the game, but he must be 6th on the depth chart at WR. LaFell got injured one game and I went 5-wide and found him. Trindon can flat out scoot in this game! He flies.

I like the speed difference between someone with his speed vs the average speed WR or RB. It's not overdone, but you can feel that he is faster. If they get to the edge and you don't have an angle...look out!

The reason for that, if you want fully animated sidelines, the game wouldn't be run at 60 FPS

I'd rather have a game that has the emotion of real football incorporated into it than have one crippled. It's a mistake on EA's part they shoulda had a realistic and emotional stadium, fans, and sidelines and tweaked the graphics engine from there to run at 60 fps.

Also during the cut scenes, sidelines could be animated more as the developers could choose to render only what is visible on screen and or create the cut scenes separately like other sports have done.

The mascot celebrations in this game are a really nice touch. It adds something to when the play is over.

I just did the craziest dive/jump into the endzone with Williams as Jenkins tried to catch me on a HB sweep. Williams dove and did like a spin or 360 or something into the endzone for six. It actually looked pretty sweet. I also like the low dive and reach the ball out across the goal line they put in this year. Nicely done.

Is there a specific way to trigger this, or is it a random luck thing?

Funny you mention that I believe M.Stafford is black in the game as well unless they changed it.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Demo Available: Discuss Here

I don't really know how to describe it, but this is the only sports franchise (aside from mlb 2k series) that still doesn't 'feel' next gen. Pop in NHL 08 for ps2 vs ps3, the difference is incredible. MLB 08 vs any other baseball game, nothing like it. Madden, NBA series, everything else, clearly has a superior next gen version. But for this series, I actually opted to play my 07 ps2 version over my 08 ps3 version. The graphics honestly don't even look that much worse, and the gameplay is a lot better. NCAA 09, so far, seems just like a slightly tweaked 08, with more injuries (i had 6 in my first game) and more dropped passes. The atmosphere is still incredibly lacking, and honestly, college atmosphere is really the only reason to get NCAA over Madden. I'd be more than happy if NCAA was allowed to just take the madden code, put in the college teams and stadiums, and work from there.

Wow. You actually thought Madden felt like "next-gen"? And NBA Live? This year looks that statement will come true for Madden, but the previous 3 years have been lackluster IMO. What was so great about Madden 08 on 360 or PS3 vs. PS2/XBox? I thought it was average at best.

However, I was just like you with NCAA '08. The turnover festival made me trade it in and buy it for the old XBox. I think NCAA '09 is much better (so far) and it sounds like the retail version will be better than what we have seen over the past 24 hours with the demo.
