NCAA Football 09 Interview

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

there better be D2 teams i wanna play with sum app state

App State is DI-AA (now FCS) not D2.
But I hope they add FCS teams, plus D2 would be cool because my brother would play for his school just to be in NCAA.

From what I heard they once again left out 1-AA. Thanks EA, Your the Best!

Blah blah blah.

2. Concentrate on GAMEPLAY...and I don't mean how to perform 287 special moves with the damn analog stick. How about.....decreasing every DBs ability to jump 60" and swat a ball down without even looking for it? Allowing the CPU QB to THROW DEEP?

I agree.

NCAA and Madden have the WORST cpu controlled QB AI of any game out there. It is not fun at all, defending little dink and dunk passes the entire game when playing the cpu.

If they do not give the CPU QB's the ability to attempt deep passes in either game this year it will be a shame.

Every team in both NCAA and Madden run the same passing offense and it's just horrible programming IMO..... that should have been fixed a long time ago.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

thankfully I am engrossed with The Show right now or I would be counting down the days to July 15th.



128 days to go...




I like the article and all, but I agree with the above posters, I wanna hear about subtle changes they have made to the AI, the dynasty mode, and the turnover glitch that plagued last years game.

Now do I think the turnover glitch and the super human DB glitch will be in this year's version of the game given the fact that they were exposed last year? No I actually don't, but until I hear that they have been addressed, then I am going to remain skeptical.

Well one would have to wonder if that was done purposely though because when you look back to the PS2 and Xbox days the QB's never threw short passes, they were always long bombs and most of the time always complete. And who could ever for get Robo QB with that laser 360 degree off the back foot strike 40 yards down the field and the one handed grab by the WR.

It was worse when the QB from a team like San Jose State could do that with ease on you.

I'll take the CPU QB not throwing INTs as much and maybe a little more deep ball action, but not much more. I have finally gotten to the point where the other team uses 10+ play drives and doesn't score in 5 plays.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

60 fps on the PS3 is good. I definately agree about having the cpu QB's go deep more. That's a huge part of college football and they used to do it all the time on the PS2 version if they could. 60 fps, bringing back current features and fixing the cpu QB AI are my biggest hopes. The fact they wanted to bring back the super juke makes me happy. The speed of the players and the wicked moves on the PS2 may have been exageratted but it was fun. I want the PS3 version to get that PS2 feel again.

I dunno but i'm a fanboy, so i'm stoked and will be picking this up. Here's to hoping for a great game!

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

Unless the turnovers have been toned down I'm passing on 09.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

I know im in the minortiy when i felt that NCAA 08 was near perfect. I would have liked less turnovers and more power running playbooks, but other than that I thought it was great. All I really want is custumizable playbooks

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

I'm waiting on this one. Unless the LB and secondary AI is improved substantially I won't be buying it. (I assume I won't be buying it..)

Re: NCAA Football 09 Interview

If I don't see these enhancements it is a rental at best:

First things first wait until the big patch is released.

Second thing I will look for is television presentation from coin toss, new commentary, better stat over lays, sideline animations, refs, facemask penalty, cheerleaders, goal nets, dynamic crowd, alternate unis, and edit ability. Also important games should be mentioned by the commentators and the crowd should be more rowdy.

Third thing
Now onto gameplay:
*Better A.I. play, not everyone just plays online, we need good A.I. to hone our skills.
*Dynamic tackling (gang/individual/etc.)
*Better O-line blocking and interaction with the D-line
*Greater differentiation from a great player to a good player to an average player
*No pauses in playbook screen

Fourth thing
*Dynasty upgrades
-quicker transitions from all the screens
*Tournament mode
*Rivalry games

There has been more than enough time and excuses. If not they have already lost 3 sales because my buddies care about my opinion. That is a .0000003 sales hit, lol. If enough people can keep themselves from buying a shoddy product, then in 09' we can get more poo shoved in our face. Peace.

Read the interview again and watch the pre alpha video and it clearly shows (and in the interview) that they have put more people on the sidelines and added cheerleaders already at that early stage of development. So the enivroment issue this year, 9/10 will be improved. Here another thing you should go see, go to gamespot.com and watch the NFL head coach 09 preview. That video is some evidence that the ESPN presentation will be used in Madden and NCAA as well.
