Chris Sanner checks in with this article he has titled, NCAA Football 09: More of the Same?

Quote:


	"Did anyone catch that smell coming out of Orlando? That smell is the smell of the "EA Hype Machine" getting its gears in motion for NCAA Football 09, which is still presumably 3-4 months away from hitting store shelves. In fact, last week during an interview with GameTap, Kendall Boyd, NCAA Football's product manager, revealed some information about the '09 version of NCAA Football."

Same stuff, different day.

An article full of words, but little actual information. My faith in this series actually improving upon the player's wishes is long, long gone.

The things that have actually been mentioned will be in '09. Has ANYONE mentioned wishing for that controller/juke/whatever crap to be in the game? Who freaking cares.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is all we're going to get from these companies as long as sports games are released every year. Ticky-tack stuff like this here and there, and a few of the things that people actually want to have. But only enough to keep people intrigued to buy next year's game.

Long ago, EA Sports saw the last of my money. Any game I buy now is used.

Why is the article entitled "NCAA Football 09: More of the Same?" when it's all about the upcoming changes and potential improvements to the series for 09?

Because this is just another bell to help dilute the smell of the crap EA sells.

Boo. The title had the makings of a great article.

Sadly, it didn't tip-toe the sidelines but rather mind-numbingly juked the topic at hand. Everyone is concerned we will get a rehash of NCAA '08. Where is that next-gen innovation? We know it can be done.

Instead, the focus is on how the new direction has the potential to make this series a great one.

Completely mis-leading article heading, IMO.

Are you going to honestly say NCAA 2008 was a quality product? This wasn't a 2k thread, so why bring them in to this discussion?

Thing is... EA gets hammered because most of their franchises are filth. 2k puts out one and the EA fans want 2k hammered... but they forget about such great franchises as NBA 2k and CH 2k.
