Who's going with the PS2 version?

[DJ]

Curious to see how many OS'ers will be running with the PS2 version of NCAA this year.

I just got 09 not too long ago, but will probably make the move to 10 when it drops.

Re: Who's going with the PS2 version?

I'm thinking about it, the problem is I have 09 and has EA really made an investment in the PS2 version? The last few I've bought on PS2 really haven't changed all that much. Now I just played the 10 demo on PS3 and I'm not overly excited about the next gen version. What adjustments have they made to the PS2 version? I haven't really been following it.

good question...noone quite knows. All it says on it's website is like Madden, the PS2 version will FINALLY have supersim (might be the only reason I get the new version). Also something about a new all new leaderboard for dynasty. If the rosters are as screwed up as they are in the next gen systems, I'm sticking it out with 09 and just updating the rosters to reflect this years.

My PS3 isn't backwards compatible.

Right now if I were to get the game, which chances are slim, I might go with the PS2. I do not remember last gen having as many problems with the run game as current gen has.

How does one know if his PS3 is backwards compatible?

Also:
- How many of the stadiums are in the PS2 version?
- Is recruiting and roster management better?

PS2 is perfect guys, they don't need to change it. They are only now adding fluff like family stuff because they got it perfect. They aren't trying to add fluff and avoid fixing gameplay. I strongly recommend the PS2 version for those who are sick of the crap on "next gen"

Stadiums are all authentic aside from ones that they can't legally get in
Recruiting has been the same all through the years. Rosters are pretty easy to manage as well. They added number management which is a pretty sweet way to manage numbers.

Re: Who's going with the PS2 version?

im 100% getting NCAA for PS2.....i might get Madden for PS3, but it depends on how draft classes are imported onto PS3 if they are whacked out i will be going with the PS2 version again

i dont care about graphics, i care about gameplay and dynasty is better for ps2.....The only thing that bothers me about NCAA is that lower rated teams have their Conference Logo on the field so im stickler for realism so i cant build lower rated teams into powerhouses cause i dont wanna get a WAC team moved into the Pac-10 and sill have the WAC symbol on their field so i usually go for the middle of road BCS teams

ive actually have tried the Coach Mode while i wait for the new game to come out and im kinda having fun with that mode to, ive read people talking about it and everything and i didnt think i would have fun just picking the plays and just watching but you actually have to gameplan and take a look at the ratings to figure whose best for your system instead of just putting the best players in

i have gotten NCAA and Madden for PS3 for 08 and 09 and returned them in for PS2 version and had a blast with them

NCAA for PS2 was the best i ever played....they fixed the Pursuit Angles which showed alot...Defense played better and it was hard to score....Deep Ball was easy but it was also stopable....qb play was great as not every pass was completed and you had wobbly passes and overthrown balls

i coulda easily have saw myself still playing my dynasty now if it didnt get erased when transferring the memory card to my ps3.....god i loved playing with the Tar Heels



I will say this though the worse thing about the PS2 within dynasty is randomly during dynasty every once or so incoming freshman speed ratings were extremely low in the 80-85 for 5 star runningbacks.....that didnt bother me as i created my own draft classes so i could fix that stuff if i wanted to for when they got imported into madden

Supersim was in last year for both NCAA and Madden

All Stadiums are in

Recruiting was actually hard last year and couldnt get top classes with a 1 or 2 star team..Teams didnt always have the top ranked classes years after years.....you no longer see the top 2 QBs bother picking the same school

Another strong thing was that the Probation Glitch was still in the game but it was tuned down alot

Re: Who's going with the PS2 version?

I'm still waiting for an answer from EA on whether or not the correct roster is on the PS2 disc, or if it's screwed up like the 360/PS3 versions.

It was? I haven't played 09 in awhile, but I could of swore it wasn't in. Maybe it's just cause I never used it. Ha, well sorry.

Actually, there is one stadium that isn't in....the new University of Akron stadium. It's opening on campus for this football season. It's not done yet, so it's not a big deal. But yeah, I refuse to get NCAA for anything other than the PS2 until they stop making it.
