You cannot be serious.....They might not get in line behind the ball carrier but they'll sure as hell run along side him and escort him into the end zone.

Personally it's 09 by quite a bit for me. I just didn't find myself wanting to play 08 quite quickly but 09 is the first football game I've played incessantly since first getting a ps2 and Madden 01. I couldn't believe how good that game looked. Such a huge leap over the ps1.
Anyhoo, though not without fault (HA!) definintely 09 for me.

[ehh]

'09 by a long shot, I gave up on '08 after about a week, the passing game (lack of touch/lob passes) and turnover issues were too much for me.

i've gotta go with 09 here. i love the smooth feel of the on-field action and the new juke system. i didn't dislike 08 at all, but i feel like this years version is a definite step up in overall quality.

but i do love the fact that, due to my connection not being the greatest (but far, far from the worst), on-line play feels exactly the way offline felt for 08. there's that slight delay from input to on-screen action that i got accustomed to in 08 that makes me feel right at home.

What the OL/DL play? Or, the kicking game? Oh, the sliders worked last year too.

With the exception of the ridiculous INT problem in terms of game play 08 was probably better. Didn't look as good and there were fewer animations but, overall the game play was better IMO.

09's better, but I'm one of the few people who loved 08.

NCAA 08 was more balanced, had sharper AI and better CPU playcalling. But 09 is just so exciting and explosive, and it looks so good. The brain-damaged AI and CPU playcalling need to be overhauled along with the DL play, and Tiburon has to give us working sliders that are more responsive, especially when a slider is maxed out.

I like '08 better, it is more balanced than '09. I like the gameplay and graphics better in '08. A game should get better each year, but in this case, it didn't. At least in '08, you could turn down the INT sliders, this year, there are no sliders to tune, since they are broken.
