NCAA Football 09 Official First Look: NCAA Strategies

Re: NCAA Football 09 Official First Look: NCAA Strategies

You guys have the number of games wrong. Remember there are 2 teams in every game so you need to divide by 2 to get a near accurate total number of games. The number won't be perfectly accurate because some teams played one or two games against FCS teams.

Good point I didn't realize that. That makes it about 1 int returned for a TD every 5 games.
Honestly if EA could just get it down to one every 2-3 games that would be good acceptable for me. 1-2 a game is just laughable.

NCAA Strategies have just posted their first look at NCAA Football 09.

Quick question, who runs that site now?

Shocker. EA realizes there didn't do jack about the most glaring issues with the game and a Community Day participant reports on it so there is a "gap in communication". What a joke. Here's a tip EA; fix the issues and we won't have much to be disappointed about.

Here's the real "gap in communication": We recommend/beg for improvements regarding glaring gameplay issues and EA chooses to ignore us. EA should just make the arcade version where there are 9 INTs, 3 pick-sixes, 7 fumbles, 11 "jump the snap" sacks and 125 point shootout games on 5 minute quarters on the Wii and leave the real football on the PS3 and 360.

It is official EA is a joke. EA's pr machine must have piss their pants when they read those hand on impressions. The game is the same broken game as last year. We been through the same dog and pony show and know the song and dance.

EA knew the problems and didn't/couldn't fix the problems. I guess EA will show more stadium
pictures.

Whether you believe it or not pasta posted on this and said:

"Just to be clear it had nothing to do with the content we posted. There is an embargo of May 2nd that was supposed to have been communicated to us but for whatever reason wasn't. The media sites that attended have the same embargo. However it is possible that some places have exclusives during the next week which is what the embargo would be protecting."

Still seems a tad fishy to me though

Yeah, I agree, I'm calling straight garbage on this one...

Thanks for the info but I am too cynical to believe this crap. EA got me last year for 60 but not this year.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Official First Look: NCAA Strategies

I am calling BS on this too. You're telling me no one from EA Sports visited the NCAAStrategies or PastaPadre sites prior to yesterday's event. Those guys have been promoting there impression review for the whole week.

I'm not buying NCAA 09 just so I can "ice the kicker" or play mascot games. If the game play isn't improve then it's time for me to move on. I'll just keep playing College Hoops 2k8.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Official First Look: NCAA Strategies

Wow going back through and reading this thread makes me sad in the pants.

It also sort of sickens me to see the people at NCAA Strategies just sit back and take it in the *** from EA by taking down their reviews. Funny I seem to recall them blasting OS for being shameless EA fan boys, hell that was a very popular past time over there for a long, long time (I was guilty too).

Re: NCAA Football 09 Official First Look: NCAA Strategies

Come on guys can't you just stay positive? I'm sure all of our gameplay concerns will be addressed in the next few months and we'll laugh at how concerned we were about the pick six, and 100 point games with five minute quarters, surely that'll happen....right?

Seriously though NCAA time is my favorite release by far year in and year out so if they have made it a farce (some of you would say more than the farce it already is) I will be very, very, upset.

Man you guys just don't get it your hate for EA runs so deep you are blinded by the facts, EA could care less what Pasta and CDJ said in those impressions good or bad its not going to effect their sales of NCAA. The people those articles are going to reach are strictly hardcore gamers a total of about 10% of their consumer base for the game if that much. So it doesn't make any sense what so ever for them to censor those two community leaders.

I'm sorry, that's just not true. If those were glowing reviews praising the game and calling it the must buy game of the year EA would not have had them take them down.

I disagree but everyone has a right to their opinion. I don't hate EA. I am disappointed that flaws from last year game is "in the game" at this point.

Same here. I'm disappointed the game-breaking flaw of too many interceptions from last year still appears to be there. As long as the same previews come up unedited next week, I'll believe that EA didn't censor these sites.

I don't hate EA, just the combination of EA and Tiburon .
