FYI: Bill Abner has NCAA 09 for the 360

Well I don't want to overreact about the first bad news regarding gameplay, but since he said the CPU threw 4 picks in the 1st half I'm really hoping the CPU doesn't throw too many picks every game. But he did say it was at all-american with no slider changes, so maybe the sliders will fix it, or maybe it was a fluke.

But hey like I said I don't want to get too worked up over something after only hearing about one half, so I'll just wait for more impressions.

Abner is great. Whomever said the "Godfather of gaming" has it right....and he's a Buckeye fan!

Nice to get impressions this early especially for someone like me on the fence between NCAA or Madden this year.

Only thing I hope is that EA doesn't consider this to be against the embargo they have and prevent him from posting more info about it, especially if his opinion is negative

I know it's only one half, but that is just not a good sign at all. No matter what sliders you are using on All-American, this should rarely happen. Again, it could just be a randon occurence, but after last year, the red flag is way up.

Hopefully, the INT slider (and the CPU accuracy, DAWR and Knockdown sliders) work appropriately.

UPDATE: From Bill Abner playing on All-American now with some slider tweaks......

This is NOT looking good. I don't care if the Buckeyes are rated 299 OVR and defense, this is sounding bad already.

CPU AI for the QB's is still horrible.
