Gametap was able to land the first NCAA Football 09 related interview with product manager Kendall Boyd. It’s interesting that EA is out this far in front already laying out some details. We’ve got some dates for the future cover announcements so that may give an idea of when to expect even further info on the actual game.

Some of the topics gone over include the importance of the gameplay and how they want to open it up this year, improved atmosphere, the new breakaway animation engine, and that the PS3 version will be running at 60fps this time around. There is much more being discussed here than was revealed in the the press release.

You can check out the full interview here.

“The sidelines are now populated and you’ll see cheerleaders doing stunts.”

That sounds promising.

I appreciate everyone’s effort to put out a family experience with Wii games, but there are lots of Wii fans that love simulations as well. I got my Wii because it was affordable, not because I wanted a family experience.

I wish some of these game companies would make Wii games just like they do for other systems. I guess that’s just part of it though. I’m looking forward to seeing more info.

I wish they would just impliment some of the same features from the last-gen game into the next-gen games. I want to see if the celebrations are more elaborate in this version.

Sounds Good. I thought last years game was good and honestly if it wasn’t for the online lag it would of been better. If they focus on GAMEPLAY and improve online LAG this will be a great game.

Sounds great, but weren’t a lot of these the same things they hyped last year? Remember the hype about animation breakers and twitchy sticks? It was the best game out last year, and probably will be again this year, but this interview sounded recycled to me.
