Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On: Part one: Pasta Padre

You know what sucks?

Here's what some guys think is a fun game:
Kickoff
Score
Score
Score
INT TD
Fumble
Score

Punts are "lame" in a video game I guess. A lot of people don't want strategy to be a part of the game. They want a fun game where they can be handed success.

The funny thing this is the type of game i like to play when there are a bunch of friends over and we are drinking and the loser gets off the sticks.

But i like a more sim style when i'm playing someone online or in my dynasty

yea, punts were rare in '08. i dont remember ever punting more than 2-3 times in a game at most. most of the time its 0-1 punts a game.

yeah I would remember that my punter wouldnt even qualify to be in the stats leader contention because he didnt have enough punts...mind you I was using offensive juggernaut SMU

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

The BIGGEST problem with the game last year= pick 6/ints.

Doesn't seem like it's fixed this year. I'm not a developer/producer, but fixing the way DB's react doesn't seem like something that can just be tweaked at the end of a development cycle. Yes, there is still time, but WTF have they been doing for the last 9 months? Adding mascot games?

Hopefully, and there really isn't any past precedence for me to be optimistic, the sliders will actually work.

lol, yea, i guess i should have mentioned i was using Middle Tennessee State in my longest Dynasty. if i was using Texas Tech, low # punts would be realistic.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

Looks like many people's fears about the offense being way overpowered were well placed. Maybe Madden will have it fixed.......yeah right.

Looks like some things never change.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

Pretty sad about the INTs, that is really what killed the game (I still enjoyed it, but it seems like once the QB would throw one, the game was over). I really hope they can fix that. I got frustrated with the INTs to the point where I would try to avoid the interceptions by hitting "swat ball" instead of catch... and they still intercepted it. I really, really hope they can fix this.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

Most people will still buy the game and hope that everything is fixed.

It's good to see the PS3 version is running good, thats all I was worried about.

Keep getting an error message. What did it say about the PS3?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

Someone who read the impressions before the Nazis...err...I mean EA....censored it,

Post the general idea here please so I can see what Pasta was talking about.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

Most people will still buy the game and hope that everything is fixed.

And yet they (we) will still be frustrated, disappointed, livid, sad and SOL just like last year because it is the only damn college football game on the market. Eff exclusivity!!

I've gone from pumped to pissed in a span in 24 hours.
