NCAA Football 09 Questions

[twisted88]

Most of these have already been posted, but the ones I'm most curious about are:

1. Has the turnover issue been addressed, especially concerning CPU turnovers?

2. What improvements, if any, have been made in player interactions? i.e. OL/DL and WR/CB interactions...

3. What enhancements in presentation have been made to actually utilize the ESPN license?

4. How will weather affect gameplay?

I would love to see players slip and fall on their own when it is raining or snowing. Or if it's a real windy game, have medium to long passes and kicks get knocked down noticeably by the wind. It seemed like no matter what the weather was last year, you could still spin and juke like it was 80 degrees and sunny; the wind had little to no effect on the passing game.

5. What was the reasoning behind removing team entrances?

It seems people have been asking for this since EA made the move to the next gen consoles, but it has never been put back in. To me, college football by far has the most exciting team entrances in all of sports. Seeing your team charge onto the field just gets you fired up for some football!!

I would love to! I just don't know how I could. I could beg and plead but unless you run a gaming site, I don't think EA would let me in. I think RAC is the guy here that has info but who knows. If you are out there, please invite me!

Wouldn't it be great though if they actually invited us to participate? They pay all the expenses too. I think the guys last year only had to pay for the taxi fare from the airport to the hotel.

I would love to participate. The only problem is, I don't think that I could share time on the game with other people.

Heck, I never play humans anyway. I'd just want to go there, tuck myself into a corner and play the cpu all day long. I could really get some quality observations in and not embarrass myself by losing all the time either!

I think most people have hit on what I would want to know, except for this (I might have missed this if somebody said it anyways):

Will we be able to edit the class of a player? Last year (07) we could, and it was nice to be able to simulate the early departures, but last year you could not. I like to try to play realistic seasons and cutting a player like Vernon Gholston makes my program stability go to hell, I actually lost a star because of that (I lost 1 game that year (USC) and won the rose bowl).

What about roster sizes? Do we have 85 yet or are we still stuck at 70?

[Spin]

in a cpu vs cpu game, can we call the plays and let the cpu execute.

so Steve,

when are you headed up there for this?
