three years into next gen and they are finally going to use the power of the next-gen?????

the richest game developer? the most resources and facilities?

smaller groups of developers for all sorts of game styles have shown us the power of next gen, sports and non-sports!!!

are you kidding me? does anyone get more free passes than Tiburon? they have problems inherent year after year and each year the hype gets more insulting.

If the overall gameplay does not change. Then it will continue to be a disapointment. They need to make the animations more smooth. 07 and 08 felt really stiff

I read on our sister site Maddenmania, that the PS3 version of NCAA 09 is a confirmed 60fps.

Now they just need create-a-school and I'm in.

I agree. I don't understand why a site like OS, that is supposed to be a neutral sports videogame news site, writes crap like this. Leave the BS hype garbage to EA.

EA just needs to dump tiburon in my opinion. They've never taken Madden or NCAA to its full potential. They just don't seem talented enough to work on a big game like Madden/NCAA. Let them work on the arcade football. Or at least make the teams bigger between each game(NCAA/Madden).

One thing I'd like to add, is to be able to cut players off your roster to start the offseason. They then show up to transfer to another school and they remain in the game. Sometimes you have guys that you know you can't keep, so why not allow them to transfer.

Separate JUCO pool for recruiting. Also, have schools like K-State, that signs several each year, be able to acquire them easier since they have a past. I guess it would be a JUCO Pipeline.

Better position and depth chart management by the CPU. I'm in year 2017 and Florida has like 9 or 10 QB's but doesn't even have a two-deep on the OL. Balance out the teams better. This is screwed up like the Madden draft, where the CPU will draft a QB four years in a row and they have obvious needs.

Say you're recruiting QB's. You have two committed, but the one you want the most is still out there. Well, no QB in his right mind wants to be in a 3 QB class, so he drops your school from consideration. This would be cool to see to help balance out rosters as well.

Make it harder for the WAC teams and non-BCS schools to sign 4 and 5* players. Powerhouse teams like LSU don't recruit their homestates well in my Dynasty. They also end up signing less top-rated recruits than normal.

I couldn't agree more about dumping Tiburon. If there isn't anyone any better, I'd be shocked if some rich genius kid doesn't start up a company and blow their doors off.
