NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

What about a real pocket being formed on pass plays.
I'm sorry but the offensive and defensive line interaction needs to be realistic.
No more rushing upfield with a Defensive end and getting sucked into the oline men.

Im thinkin the Mascot games are for the 7 year olds out there who like football...

Hopefully they will have Otto the Orange in this years game, I miss him playing NCAA

List looks good. Still gotta see if they're adding chain gangs and refs. They get those in there, I really will have nothing to complain about, YET, lol.

Honestly, ****ing mascot games before 1-AA. **** you EA. I knew that 1-AA was left out this year already, just didn't know they actually wasted their time to put the ****ing mascot games back in first. Also I LOVE how some of those "New" features were the ones they took out and are now putting back in. If your not gonna give me 1-AA, at least give me create-a-team. You know that feature that was in Madden LAST year. Glad most you guys are happy, but I obviously have reason to be sour.

Sounds GREAT..... so far. Please test the game this year before releasing it though because if all these great new features are in the game and the CPU doesn't throw the long ball or it's a turnover fest, the feature list means NOTHING because the game will be unplayable.

Hahah. Here we go!! I want everyone to stop just for a second and read this list again. There is something that is very odd on this list. What the hell is a "College Specific Tackling Engine." ? What the hell could that possibly mean? I'm not sure what they could possibly mean by that unless they mean they are using a specific animation engine for NCAA that they are not using for Madden else the words are just filler and make no sense whatsoever.

Online Dynasty should be fun, but I hope you don't have the idea that you will have more than about 20 people in your online dynasty, IF that many. All the other stuff is just stuff re-introduced. Has the potential to be a solid, playable game. But if you are looking for a WOW game and I'll leave it at that.

Solid list, kind of lame about 1-AA teams not being in. Hopefully the implementation of Home Field Advantage won't go over like their first attempt back in '05 where the AI QB's became unable to make a smart throw and WR's couldn't catch the ball.
