 EA Sports Does It Again August 11, 2008

NCAA Football 2009 is by far the BEST yet. Sure, there are still some areas that can be improved upon or fixed. But, the game play, crowd interaction, icing kicker option, and many many other things make this an impressive and incredible game. I have been playing this nightly and can't seem to get enough. This WILL have you screaming from your couch just like watching real NCAA football.
COOL ITEMS:
- Icing the kicker: Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but it's a cool and welcomed addition to the reality of football.
- Turnovers aren't quite that easy: In 2007-08, picks and fumbles were all over the field. Now, having to be more aligned with the ball and needing a bit more skill, it's not a turnover free for all.
NOT SO COOL ITEMS:
- Celebrate with the Mascot: It's cool for the first few times but gets a bit repetitive or boring. Would be great if you could use select buttons to execute a celebration (or unlock celebrations with 'user' points
- The graphics can be a bit "choppy". Someimes the ball magically moves out of the QBs hands or receptions go through a players head/arms. These glitches should have been fixed by now considering the technological & graphical improvements already made.
- Guessing the defense when you turn the ball over? What does this really get you other than an intermission? And added feature would be gaining coaching experience points when getting it right in order to unlock hidden playbooks or even plays of the other team (game film for future games).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE (IF EA EVER LOOKS AT AMAZON): User tackles and such don't do much for you: Would recommend making 'user points' like you get with Madden. Maybe then you can earn points toward player improvements, coaching improvements, or even buy things for your campus (a new library, new uniforms). Just would make it even more fun to knock around people and have interaction! Include this and a celebration addition and it'll be even greater!
Overall - I give this 5 STARS and recommend it to anyone that LOVES football. It's as real as it gets!
Huge upgrade August 29, 2008

This is a significant upgrade for the PS3 from NCAA 08, so if you are debating whether to buy the new version my answer is "Most definitely, buy this version". The player control is smoother, greater attention to detail with the stadiums, crowds, etc, and the mascot challenge is an enjoyable break from the action. From the moment I broke it out of the plastic I haven't been able to put it down. Once you have configured the game for your team, there are even unique pictures for that particular team that you will recognize if you went to that particular school.
One minor glitch I have noticed is that occasionally when reviewing your play call on the field, the receiver routes will get all wavy (best way I know how to describe it) and the receiver designation will appear as a question mark, rather than circle or square. I'm thinking this is a memory writing issue with the game as it goes away with the next play called.

This game is A LOT of fun! From the very realistic college atmosphere, to the way the visiting team gets rattled in that atmosphere. The crowd graphics aren't that great, but that doesn't bother me...I mean if it looks great, cool, if not, well, you're not playing the crowd anyway. The controls are seamless this year as you can string together jukes in spins for an array of elusiveness. The smart route was a very nice addition which allows your receivers to pass the sticks for the yardage needed to gain a first down. My only question is if there is a way to beat the "Ice the Kicker" feature(You can turn this off, too). I think the idea is a great one, but when this feature is engaged, I don't know if it's possible to overcome...it may be a little to hard. I would recommend this game to any fan of football...an absolute blast!

I really like the NCAA Football series so this game was a must have for me. With all new animations added to this year's version it definitely tops last years version.

I love this game its way better than last year versions; the only thing I can't figure out is to pump fake. But I rush my self throwing sometimes because of last years nano jump the snap glitch they really took care of that; even for me I don't rush the passer like I used to but the game is really fun.
