Is NCAA 09 that much better than 08? I have last year's and now I am itching to get this year's is it worth it? I know everyone has their own opinion but I would like to know what you think.

I've heard that you can get it for $19.99 at radio shack now. it is worth 20 bucks for online dynasty alone.

After playing both. I would say the post-patch NCAA 09 is a bit better than 08. A few things that make 08 better is that:

1) I find the CPU a bit more challenging
2) Dynamic lighting
3) Animations look a bit smoother

'09 has issues but I would say it's a lot better than '08. I've had a lot more fun with '09.

I personally think the colors and overall graphics (minus the blades of grass) were better in 2008.

Colorado's helmets are actually gold in 2008, they are too dark in 2009.

the fields look better as a whole. Penn State's field is one of the nicest fields in real life, and it's that way in 2008. in 2009, their turf looks like any other field, which is wrong.

Sure 2008 doesn't have alternate uniforms but there are a lot of positives that 2009 doesn't have or is lacking.

dont listen to these guys. 08 is garbage. you cant even control the defensive players well. do you really care if your helmet shines? 09 is much better, go straight to heisman, all american is to easy to move the ball by passing. the player models are way better and online dynasty made it worth it by far.

NCAA 09 is a whole different ballgame to me. Alot of fun. I would definitley recommend picking it up, especially if you find it at a bargain price.
