How does NCAA 08 compare to 09?

I ask because of the usual "sports games are pretty much the same every year," and also because of the fact that my Target has NCAA 08 on clearance for the hot price of $7.48.

I know there was something about fumbles/INT's last year, was that ever fixed in a patch? Because if the game plays just as good/better than 09, I'd gladly just pay the 8 bucks for that. Thanks.

In a nutshell: NCAA 09 is faster, looks much better, feels better than 08 -- but the gameplay was more balanced and the AI was better in NCAA 08. NCAA 08 felt heavier, slower.

I prefer 09, bugs and all.

Well if that's true that the gameplay is better and AI is more balanced, then I may have to pick up 08. And hell for 8 bucks I might as well just do it anyway to see what I think.

Couldn't care less about the graphics to be honest with you, I just want to play a college football game that doesn't frustrate the hell out of me.

Well, you're screwed either way. NCAA 08 has major interception issues. NCAA 09 is slightly better in terms of INTs.

Blame the INT slider. It's not effective enough.
