    Re: EA Sports: new Comparsion Video 08 vs. 09

    That was a hot video. Everything looked smooth and well done. College football 09 will be played all the way until 2010 comes out. Cant wait.

      I loved the way the defense moved around before the snap, as well as the Iowa db scooping up what he thought was a fumble. The vids also make it clear just how much better the playing surface looks this year.

      Good stuff.

        I loved the team celebrations and convoy running. That looked awesome....but it still looks like they are using Madden 08's tackling engine.

          " This looks exactly like 08" lol their eating those words now. Look at the vid again some of you were too amped to even notice tebows facemask. They have new facemask in the gm Yessssssssssssssssssss. The convoy gives a real college feal. All this gm need was to make the players "loose". Which im seeing more and more. The new analog jukes will take this gm to the next level.

            team celebration and convoy blocking are very nice. I'm impressed with the fact that we are just getting these which leads me to believe that they were recently added ( which in-turn gives me hope that other things can be done to fix the game before release )

              Boy I sure hate to be the one who brings REALITY to this love fest! Um how about instead of convoy blocking how bout a real QB pocket or here is a great idea actual oline/dline interaction. Once again this is EA throwing "fluff" at us and people loving it, we really are sheep. Not one of those cool new things will do anything to gameplay. Im sorry but like I said EA putting a new coat of paint on a crap engine, instead of fixing the core problem. Hey I coulb be wrong and the game could be great, but going on Ea track record I'm going to guess once again all hype no substance

                the oline/dline interaction is the key ingredient that needs to be fixed imo. but this "fluff" video leads me to believe that they are still currently adding things. you can't deny that those were some really cool features in that vid

                  But it does affect the atmosphere and presentation which IMO is killing EA just as much as gameplay....

                  The gameplay I could live with because you just have to understand it aint
                  2ksports and it never will be and honestly there are things that 2k still needs to clean up AI wise.... But what makes EA's game unplayable is the damn lack of atmosphere no emotion... It gets boring really quickly.

                  So at will give them props for adding the little things to add to the realism... That doesnt mean OL and DL interaction isnt important or that shouldnt have worked on this but the two things arent related to the point where I can say Someone made a choice we cant fix A could we are adding B....

                  So lets give props when it should be given

                    That video sure made '08 look like an embarrassment. Some very nice improvements. And I liked those retinal searing grellows the Ducks were sporting.

                      If u were to Put 20 people infront of a white wall and ask if it's white or green. 1 will prolly say green. I like the fact that you can hit a WR while hes trying to bobble a catch. And for that other ***** thats 83# running next to Pat white not 93#. For the mascot celebrations they are not that realistic, but add more of a fun facor to the gm the eagle flying from that guys arm is funny., you got to admit.

                        Tight video, I thought the "Convoy blocking" and celebration animations were tight.

                        I just kinda wished they released a different video. This should be the stuff we discover on our own that we post in a "The Little Things..." thread rather than stuff they use to hype their game. I just hope there's more little surprises that's left for us to discover on our own.

                          The video was really nice. The one thing I didn't get was the QB animation comparison. Was I missing something there?

                          There was a lot of nice stuff in that video. It doesn't say the game is perfect or doesn't have problems but it would be nice if the haters acknowledged that it was more than just fluff particularly since many haters rag on EA's presentation.

                            The most important change IMO is the Defensive pre snap animations.

                            For instance, seeing the LBs run down to the line, the Free Safety creep up showing blitz, then slowly creeping back a few steps was very much needed.

                            In 08, if you called a Safety Blitz, very rarely did the Safeties "actually" creep up to get a better jump on the snap. And if they did, it was sloooooowly. This looks 100x better and should really help as far as different blitz packages and confusing the offense on what the Defense is going to do.
                            Of everything they showed, this was the one I was sorta ambiguous about. I wasn't for sure if that was the play they called or if it was the show blitz feature. If you look at it in 08, they didn't show guys moving. But in 08 if you used show blitz, the exact same guys move that they are showcasing for 09 and they moved to the exact same spots. The only thing the Safety didn't do last year and even on 07 was creep back. But if you use show blitz in 08 and 07 I don't see much of a difference from what they showed in that vid for 09. The only thing they are doing in the 08 part is not using the show blitz feature from what I can tell give or take a few minor movements after it is done.

                            Other things looked pretty good.

                              So many nice little additions that will make this game more immersive. Post-play celebrations, sideline tiptoes, convoy blocking, etc. I'm excited as ever fellas.

                              How about the Oregon Duck unis!?!

                              I also noticed they fixed Tim Tebow's face mask (my man crush in full effect lol).

                              56 days!
                              This Gator fan noticed the facemasks! LOL. I've been asking for new facemasks for 2 years now. Finally.

                                Well...I may actually purchase this years NCAA after a four-year hiatus. Presentation and o-line/d-line interaction were 2 huge aspects of the game that needed work since the next-gen transition. At least one of those is being looked at. Convoy blocking and defensive pre-snap animations are both welcomed additions, with the latter being my most favorite feature. If the audio fits the animations, then I will be a very happy man.

                                And that analog control really adds to the "loose" feeling EA is going towards this year. Getting closer and closer to the real thing. Can't wait for 2012...that joint's going to be off the chain since it takes EA two years to implement a decent amount of tweaks to their archai...I mean "authentic" game engine lol.

                                Sorry, I just had to get my jab in. I mean, come on, Pete Maravich = Laron Profit?*
