NCAA Football 09 debut trailer
by 
Gametrailers has posted the first trailer for NCAA Football 09. Pretty much everything that has been discussed about the game is on display in the video.
You can really see the vast improvements that have been made (and previously seen in the screenshots) to the player models, lighting, and environments. The footage showing the wide open gameplay looked really fluid and natural. Noticed the home field advantage made the receiver routes unsteady which is interesting. Hopefully we’ll find out more on how home field impacts the games. Also displayed is the online dynasty, custom stadium sounds, roster sharing, and mascot games.
The whole trailer basically recaps everything we’ve heard about NCAA Football 09 and seen in the screenshots that have been released thus far. Continue on to check it out.

Game looks sweet anyone else notice the safeties in the trailer, instead of just setting there like humpbacks they were actually always moving like real safeties small detail but I thought it was a nice touch.

Because referees are there in real life. They officiate the game. They add to the realism. Is weather pointless? Are fans pointless? Are having accurate stadiums pointless?
Unlike other details, referees are actually ON THE FIELD with the players. Pointless? You have to be kidding.
And Pasta, whether or not you want referees getting in the way of things, that’s irrelevant. Referees are part of the game.
I’m sure Tom Brady would rather not worry about hitting a ref with a football, but referees are PART OF THE GAME OF FOOTBALL. Don’t let EA slide on this. Excluding them is lazy and unrealistic. Who cares about subtle stadium lighting improvements when they’re playing some alternate universe football game that doesn’t need officiating?[/quote]
WELL IF YOU CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT REFS BECAUSE THEY’RE “IN THE GAME”, than i want to see the CORRECT face masks that EA has failed to input 3 years in a row. YES, I’m talking about riddell revolution helmets. why should tim tebow, a heisman trophy winner have the wrong helmet/face mask. MAKES NO DAMN SENSE!

pasta great site !! GO CANES!!
April 17, 2008 at 12:19 pm

April 17, 2008 at 12:26 pm
no, refs are not.
April 17, 2008 at 12:56 pm
yo pasta, do u know if theyre gonna finally let us edit the players in 09?
April 17, 2008 at 1:09 pm
ok so ur saying the game wil be more realistic if facemasks are correct instead of having refs on the field

You could edit players in 08
April 17, 2008 at 1:27 pm
This looks like it could be for release today cause this game looks tight!

I liked what i saw from the trailer. However i saw no bands or chain gangs. I know, it’s too early to tell but since they say they are focusing so much on atmasphere, these aspects most certainly should be in the game. I also have to complain about the field textures they use. They look terrible, better than before but not what i expect. The grassy fields are completely flat like carpet, 2D. I expect them to use the technology and hardware of the next gen systems.
That said, I know that gameplay is the most important thing so i hope they have adressed those issues.
A really cool thing i was impressed with was that during the clip from ohio stadium, when the player was dancing in front of the dumb buckeye, the crowd was going crazy, but i saw fans from the away team, probably penn st, were acting upset. That is a good touch.
I really like this site pasta and this is the only place i come now to check out sports titles. thanx alot

I just saw the trailer again and having a Coke Zero add pop up and take up a huge part of the screen when you are trying to call an audible is pretty lame. I don’t mind it when they do the “Old Spice Red Zone” and stuff like that, but having an add pop in when you are trying to read the defense and change a play is down right stupid. I missed this the first time around but this time I paused it right after the trailer says “more depth than ever before” and then they go to the Illinois vs Northwestern game. If you pause it there you can see this add taking up a part of your offensive line. Frustrating to me but maybe not to others. Any opinions?

Simple mistake an you guys take it an run a marathon with it. Anyway Pasta what about Presentation when you win the BCS Championship game. Will the ESPN liscense be used at all an how are they going about the pre, halftime, and post game reports with Corso, Herbstreit, and Nesler.

Finally watched this. I got to admit it looks pretty impressive. Especially watching the HD version. I need to figure out how to get an HDTV some day!
April 17, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Beautiful, this is just awesome.
April 17, 2008 at 10:04 pm
is the game day crew in this year with corso making his picks they should add mark may and lou holtz for the post game show come on ea use the espn license.

HOOOOOORRRRRRAYYYYYYY! THE REFS ARE IN THE GAME!
April 18, 2008 at 12:49 pm
did anyone else notice the glitch on the players helmet at 1:17. That same glitch happend all the time with players with neck rolls. i hope the fix it
April 18, 2008 at 12:51 pm
also, what the hell is the ROLB doing during the Illinois game…i dont have the time marker for that, but what hes doing is rediculas
April 18, 2008 at 5:59 pm
all i see is people saying that the graphics for 09 are better… but in my opinion they dont look better than 08 player models… that doesnt mean im not gonna buy it because i do buy it every year… but if compare the player models in the video and the pics that ea sent out of the Oregon player and the Southern Miss player that alot different and the pics look better than the video player models

Hey Pasta, thanks for the update. Any word on whether or not school transferring will be included in next year’s game?
April 18, 2008 at 7:47 pm
pasta im guessing i will not get the real updated rosters b/c i dont have so ill have to get them off the internet
April 18, 2008 at 7:47 pm
b/c i dont have online*
April 19, 2008 at 12:49 pm
wow uncle hershell dont comment again ur retarted
April 19, 2008 at 2:24 pm
im just asking a question sorry i messed up sunshine
April 19, 2008 at 4:56 pm
hey is it just me or does anyone else think the penn state stadium with fans wearing blue looks bad i think they should just be in white like in real life also i gree with the guy who said the picture of the player models look better than the ones in the video. the ones in the video look like 08
April 20, 2008 at 9:53 am
hey dylan, you’re right, where’s the S where students are wearing blue and everyone else is wearing white? Why did the mascot fly through a pilon? Why is the ohio state dude jumping up and down so stupid like that? the more and more i see the trailer, the more i get dissapointed. i hope they continue to make it better in the months ahead. come on ea, what the hell.
April 20, 2008 at 9:56 am
one more thing, at Michigan stadium, why is the crowd totally maize and blue with the exception of the away team fans? the big house always has a mix of colors in the stands unless there is a maize out already proposed. Lazy with no bands and such. im not impressed with the field textures at all either.. I remain optimistic however.
