NCAA Football 09 Owen Schmitt vs DeSean Jackson OS Exclusive Video

The game looks crazy fast (which is cool), and open field tackles look like they're going to be hella hard to stop.

All-n-all, the game looks good.

Looks nice but ....why doesn't EA fix the pass protection....no QB drops 20 yards back to make a pass !!!!!

I guess this goes to show that even former college athletes don't like sim

Re: NCAA Football 09 Owen Schmitt vs DeSean Jackson OS Exclusive Video

I can't even front this game looks like alot of fun.Im really trying not to get caught up in the hype!!! I can feel myself wanting to play this game more now tho.

This game would be amazing with about 10,000 more animations(blocking, better gang tackling, more player interaction, ect..) and a better TV broadcast direction because the graphics and lighting look sick. Id also like to see better sidelines. The players look too far away from the field. Refs and chain gangs would help with the atmosphere as well. Oh what could be EA/Tiburon......

I loved that DeSean went no huddle on the 1-yard line! You can tell he plays this game frequently. Unfortunately, Owen must play with the Corona guys in the other video. LOL

I will say that I'm starting to think that the ball carriers are too fast in the open field. On that first touchdown reception, the Cal receiver goes into warp speed and destroys the angles. Jahvid Best ain't even that fast.

It's a pretty good sim guys, some folks are really overreacting.

Most of these guys don't play sim ball anyway, combined with the fact that they are probably playing on Default Freshman or Varsity.

With slider tweaks and folks who play true sim ball, it's a damn good game and has been for years.

It would be nice for a game that doesn't punish you to somewhat sim. You should see the stuff that my boys try to pull when we play. They ALWAYS put their faster QB in because the fast QB is much more effective and there is little difference between a great pocket QB and a poor passing scrambling QB in terms of throwing the football. At least you can nano blitz the holy hell out of the pocket QB.

Ohh well there always next year isnt that Ea motto, Well at least the player models and the stadiums look good. Why is it that qb's still continue to throw 40-50 yards down the field on a rope while their scrambling outside the pocket.

lol @ DeSean trying the hurry up offensive of attack after being tackled at the one.

I like the fact that momentum has been toned down. No more bowling people over that the goalline like pins. The RB momentum was stopped because he was hit by 2 players.

Yes, if you suspend the belief that this game is actually a simulation of college football.

Seriously, the game is what it is. As long as it provides a challenge and there are no stupid gameplay flaws that prevent me from getting immersed in my dynasty, I'm good. I've already given up on this game being somewhat sim.

I am ready to "suspend the belief", but then something happens that I just can't except some issues or quirks about the gameplay. I need to go back to just playing games for fun, forgetting about every review, impression, etc. Na, that ain't happening

I think it's kind of distracting that there's no momentum. The game definitely looks good from a graphical standpoint. The QB guess the coverage thing was nice; could've been cooler if presented better. But during the whole video I don't think I gave the OL/DL/LBs a second thought. It's much like the earlier hi-def IGN video where the game appears to be fun w/two players. Watching players zip around the field with little to no regard for anything in this video seems like it might get tiring pretty quickly. As would having people backpedal forever and still throw strikes. Seems like they're definitely going back to the "speed kills" gameplay of PS2 '04 version; just not sure if it's going to have as much substance as that game had gameplay-wise.

LOL. Spank, just realize you will never like an EA game, and move on.

Yep I'm pretty hard on EA (Rightfully so) but the NCAA game is by far the best playing game right now as far as football.

I love the fact that 2 picks were thrown when the qb was running around. (Well until I start my dynasty

)
For me as long as recruiting etc actually make a difference and ratings matter.

I want to see mismatches on the field actually pay off more than not.

The 20 yd. dropback is still in full effect I see.

Thats what bums me out. What is the point of playing D if you can just run backwards then throw the ball?

I like the movement of the players a lot more then the old clunky versions though..I will say that.

What will the online difficulty be? If everyone is playing on Varity or the medium setting, then running backwards will be commonplace.
