    NCAA Football 09 Hands-on Time This Week: Pasta Padre

    Pasta Padre has posted a article called NCAA Football 09 Hands-on Time This Week.

    "We are expecting the latest build and we have been given free reign to discuss anything about it. Originally I had imagined a restricted build similar to what we used to get at E3 but apparently it will be the full thing. That means we’ll be able to dig into aspects such as online dynasty menus, campus legend changes, ect."

        Lets be honest with ourselves here. Pasta is a community rep for EA and has a biased view on these products.

        I wish they would give a hands on with someone that was impartial and not have anything to gain or lose from a hands on impressions.

        Pasta will post his impressions and they will all proclaim this year to be the greatest, then when the peanut gallery gets ahold of the game, they realize its the same story as it has always been.

        Past history proves this.

          I haven't clarified if we'll be able to take pictures/videos yet but I'll see what I can do.

          Well you must not have read my thoughts out of past events if thats what you believe (I was easily the least enthused with Madden last year and I chose not to go to the NCAA one). It'll probably be closer in feel to the NBA Live event where issues were pointed out and then we got to see how they improved on them by release time. Regardless because of the timing things will be more informational than opinionated. It wouldn't make much sense to try and communicate extensive thoughts of a game that is still very much not finished.

            Someone has to ask em the technical stuff, these games have been stock full of bugs/glitches and I think its time we consumers get more info about that side of the game prior to release...

            Like will the depth chart get reset if we edit any player on a team????...........

            That annoyed the hell out me and if its the game again I'll go insane

                Not sure yet but I'm hoping we will be. I'll try and find out for certain later today.

                    Please check to see if the CPU QB AI has improved and the CPU thrown INTs have been toned down to realistic standards.

                    Also, check to see that the spread option run plays work appropriately this year. The speed option was too easy to break for long runs last year and some of the slot option plays were almost an automatic 20 yard gain if you pitched to the WR.

                    Thanks for helping us get our NCAA info fix Pasta.

                      pasta please take notice of one thing that i thought they got absolutely right. the lighitn through the day and night and rain games from last year. see if it's been improved or absolutely hacked.

                      Also check grass textures and snow and rain effects...

                      I'm getting the Wii version for gameplay and next gen ONLY IF it has next gen graphics...

                        So more hype? If you're only relaying info and not giving your opinion, how will this be any different from an EA advertisement?

                          I would think you would want the information? I know things like how home field advantage works, how online dynasty works, are things that intrigue me. Correct me if I'm wrong there. I'm not saying that I won't have opinion mixed in too, its just that there has to be some perspective on where the game is at this point. If I don't like something I'll certainly mention it but more in hopes of it being addressed prior to release (and that I had made a point of it) than making a final judgment.

                            I'd like to know how many players can join a single online dynasty. I'm hoping for 12 (an entire conference) but preparing for less than that.

                              Very good question

                              edit: I think online dynasty is really the biggest thing to get info about. Online dynasty will sell a lot of people on this game. Hell if they have the turnover issue again I'll still buy it if online dynasty is done right.
