Now that you seen the trailer.....

[radiohead]

ncaa 05 absolutely killed the series for me. it was the last ncaa that i purchased.

even though the trailer looks promising, i just can't buy the game "sight unseen" like i could before '05. i'll keep my eye on it though - definitely.


i think that many of the criticisms lobbed at tiburon are valid are valid. however, it's probably best to step away from a sports series for a few years because sadly that's the only way the games stay fresh. hell, i'd almost rather see a bi-annual sports games rather than annual ones.

the perpetual sequel is really hindering the promotion of new ideas in the game industry, just like it is in hollywood.

Hope you get it early again this year. I enjoyed all the work you put in to let us know everything you could about the game.

I should have it July 10th or 11th. Man, I can't wait.

Heres a thanx in advance if you post your impressions and thoughts. Hopefully Tiburon will show me its worth the purchase this year and I'll continue my run of getting the game before release date.

I'm counting on you and ODogg (who I've actually met when I got it early for him way back when) to give me an unbiased opinion before release. I know it will be hard for you as an admitted EA apologist.

For me honestly this game was a buy the 1st day it was released. I enjoyed 08. It was a great game, but not perfect. 09 was a 1st day buy for even without the trailer(online dynasty & roster sharing had me from day one). I think over 90% of the people here enjoyed 08. So what will you guys(and girls if any)do?

Co-sign. I would have to read something pretty bad for me not to get this game. I enjoyed '08 and expect some of the bigger issues to make '09 really good.

I am not an EA apologist. Never have I swept their problems under the rug. So you can count on an unbiased opinion.
