NCAA Football 09: Community Impressions

[RaychelSnr]

We have posted an article with a small sampling of what the community reaction to NCAA Football 09 is. Also, we have the latest official information on the roster glitch which is causing all sorts of speculation on the boards. Check out the article, NCAA Football 09 Community Impressions.

"Operation Sports and it's network sites are extremely busy tonight with many gamers scoring their copies of NCAA Football 09 early. Instead of having to read through several pages of impressions, I have included some highlights of the reactions from Operation Sports and MaddenMania members for your enjoyment."

I agree, it sounds like people are getting realistic sack numbers.

It seems , however, that if you aren't getting a sack, then the CPU has all day to throw. As in there aren't enough hurries on the CPU qb.

That's it? There seemed to be a lot of negatives reported in the impressions thread and only one is noted in this article?

because alot of people don't really know what they talking about. this game is very realistic and i wrote that it's the closest thing to 2k5(as far as overall grade is concerned).

If you want a real impression, rent it and try it yourself.

Many posters on this site exaggerate deficiencies in the game and try ruin it for others.

People look for different things in Ncaa. Some look for glitches others for fun.

I hope the roster editor bug isn't happening to every single game and system; just a few unfortunate PS3's and 360's I hope. If anyone out there has a couple sucess stories with editing the rosters, please post them. I will be f***ing steamed if I have to wait for a patch to edit my rosters.

well too many people i have seen over at MM are whining because they can't get rosters. My question is how did Padre do the rosters while Fairdale Kings for the 360 and several others for the PS3 are having the problems?

Wow, only one real negative. Either this is a suckup to EA post or my excitement is back up!

That's comforting to hear you say, Jwill. I see you on the 2k forums and know you have a good sense of what's what. All the stuff in the impressions forum has sounded fairly negative. I can't wait to get the game and make my own decision. Thank god for Pasta!

I have a friend who got his early on the 360 and it plays really well. Its smooth and a great step up from last year(getting closer to the 06 version). And for the roster buffs like me...He hasnt had any problems with the roster so far. Up to 40 teams and counting.

Re: NCAA Football 09: Community Impressions

The best thing about the game so far is the control you have over your running back. Its pretty good. I think the game is gonna be well recieved but I would caution that people dont get overly hyped about game. It improved some things but some of the old quirks and some new ones are there.

There may be alot of negatives about the game due to not understanding how things work in the game just yet and also what difficulty people are playing on may have a large affect on things.

IMO the game is better than 08 but on the field its not a whole lot different. Just dont over hype the game in your mind and I think most will like it. Its grown on me since last night.

I have the game and the CPU QB is averaging 75-80% completion rate every game. That's not realistic.

What are the negatives....4-6 avg. sacks a game between two teams....how is that bad. You can actually stand in the pocket unlike madden 08 and so on.

The offensive in college has always been the big number unless you play a power house with great D.

On the visual side,it has taken a great leap fowrd,they look like real college players instead of madden HULKS in college unies.

I dont know about everybody else but other than a pre-game show like last gen 06 verison, I can't complain..This game is great they are on the right track.

I got this game Friday and I agree 100% with this article. This, to me, is right up there with APF 2K8 and NFL 2K5. Its a blast.

The game is sick, sooo many things you can do...great improvement compared to last year.
Here is some of my highlights

EASW - Noel Devine 2

EASW - Noel Devine - Whoa

EASW - Noel Devine - Diving for Air?

EASW - Devine - KR TD

Will play on heisman next to test out the A.I more, practiced on that level but yet to have a game.
