NCAA Football 09 full drive video

IGN has released a video of a full drive in NCAA Football 09 as Boston College takes the ball down the field on BYU. The video runs for approximately 4 1/2 minutes and can be viewed here (make sure to watch in high-res).

The game looks to have been tightened up some from the build we played a few weeks ago. It is really difficult to judge though until getting hands-on time to actually compare the feel. That really can’t be analyzed much through the videos especially in short bursts where the circumstances such as difficulty level are unknown. A couple things to point out is the missed arm tackle on the early run and the diving catch at the end, both of which look really natural.

This is the most substantial gameplay footage released thus far. Be sure to leave your thoughts on the video in the comments.

You guys are retarded. NCAA looks so much better than Madden. Every year Madden says, “Oh yeah this and that is going to be so great and revolutionary!” and every year it dissapoints.

I played Madden 08for a total of 2 weeks and I got bored. Then I get excited again for it this year and I read that you can only play an Online season for one year. How retarded is that?

Madden sucks and it will suck for a very long time until 2K can get an NFL liscense. When Madden actually had competition, it was good. NCAA has always been good and has always been way more addicting than madden.

Madden will get all the publicity but it will never deliver on how good it should be.

u can’t really base that on 08 madden producer is actually putting in work this year. And from the look of things graphics wise madden is looking better. Also it looks like madden producers is finally putting in more effort. I’m a NCAA fan but I’m not liking what I’m seeing gameplay wise.

I agree that the game sounded the same and the lack of footprints is a let down.

Hopefully, the game plays better that it looks…

Dear EASports Football Development Teams,

I have watched all of the videos of the upcoming game Madden 09, as well as looked at all the photos that that are available. I have noticed a common theme. The player models have not been improved for the past 3 years of next-generation Madden games. QBs, Halfbacks, Defensive-backs, Wide Receivers are all either the same size or larger than the defensive-linemen that are in these games. I watch football religiously. I have also played football on a college level and this is just one of the many things that bother me about Madden and NCAA Football Video games. EA claim is that “IF IT”S IN THE GAME, its IN THE GAME.” This is a bunch of bull. Wide receivers, Defensive Backs, etc should not be as big are bigger than Defensive Linemen. Get rid of the “Shaking Pursuit Camera” and spend more time on player models and game play problems. Who’s ever idea it was to change the play selection screen to a one play selection needs to be fired. If the average person did something that idiotic, they would be searching for work in another country. Not at EA. That is enough of my ranting for now. The people that this is for will probably never see this, or read it anyway. Please EASports, fix these problems.

Let’s not forget that this is the only full-drive video we’ve seen… I wouldn’t count this game out just yet. I bet this game will be worth the $60 bones everyone drops to buy it, and then some. With all the last minute tweaks and add on’s that EA does in the last few months of production, we’re likely to see an entirely different aspect of game-play. I’m not saying this will be the best game ever made, but I don’t think it’s gonna be as bad as we all are claiming it will be. Let’s at least wait to see a few more videos before we declare an all out war on the EA Sports Studio!!!

-Go Ducks!
