NCAA Football 09 full drive video

[quote comment="21352"]i watched the video. there are some good things but also some bad things. I like the arm tackles but again like the madden video there didnt seem to be any new animations for tackling, and only one or two gang tackles wen those should be happening nearly every play. the weather looked very good but i to noticed no footsteps. the crowd appeared the be the same as last year, and the lighting didnt look like what they have said it would look like. the presentation was nearly the exact same thing as well, which is a big disappointment for me. im tired of the same angled camera shot from the sidelines swooping in from the stand to just show the same crowd over and over again. The cheerleaders and mascot were nice touches, and the player models look very nice at this point. another thing that bothered me was no pump up the crowd. I though they said that was coming back, that home field advantage was coming back, i figured we would see a little bit of it during the game. gameplay seemed pretty smooth but eerily similar to last years. alright not a great video but certainly not horrible. there were a few good points but hopefully this is still way early in the process and they can show off these other “announced” features that seem to be vacant so far from the game.[/quote]

you obviously dont pay attention to detail. there are numerous new animations in this game.

Something that we all fail to realize is that the atmosphere at BC is not the same at LSU, Auburn, FSU, TENN (examples of home stadiums in other videos) they clearly had excellent home field advantage. Maybe EA is trying to show that it can show off different types of atmospheres. I dont was the atmosphere at Florida Atlantic to be the same as Florida State’s.

Also, I do agree though that the video did nothing but shed negativety over the game.

Pasta is not going to speak too badly on this because EA is his bread and butter (wink, wink)..Sorta of like the issue with NBA Live how much he touted it as being a good game, but due to contract interests could not mentioned anything good about the superior NBA 2K8 game.

It’s not his fault though, it’s just business..

What’s with the BC qb wearing that bulky lineman facemask???

[quote comment="21347"]This is disappointing to say the least. I wasnt impressed[/quote]

man u go have to change your name man

[quote comment="21361"]Pasta I noticed there was a pop-up that said slide protection B to cancel. What is slide protection/how does it work?[/quote]

slide protections is the offensive line sliding to the left or right to help protect the qb if u getting pressure from the right alot then slide your protection to that side and vice versa to the other side thats how that works hoped that answered your question.

pasta idk but it looks like ncaa 09 has that action cam like madden where u can see the whole field and all your recievers anybody agree?

Game looks terrible- same thing as 08. Honestly if I didn’t know that was 09 and saw it on youtube or IGN I would have thought it was 08.

Would it kill EA to put some effort into the presentation of the game? Why is it that entire drive we saw no statistical overlays, no drive summaries, and no instant replay + commentary on that amazing catch in the endzone?

Apparently we all were misinformed about our next gen consoles. Like someone stated earlier aren’t we supposed to have more storage than our PS2 versions of the game? So how come those games are hands down better playing, and have 10 times the content then what we are getting now? Is it really that hard to upgrade the graphics to hi-def, polish things up, and keep all the old content in the game?

Not quite sure how games like Mass Effect, COD4, and MGS4 are made, yet somehow we can’t even get a sports game with alternate jerseys, bowl patches, or any 1 of the dozens of features NCAA PS2 used to have.

Madden 09 looks better. Hooray for ActionCam.

Terrible. Not going to waste my time on the game. Use the be the only game I ever played. Sucks that EA just stopped trying to work on the game. All they’ve done is taken Madden and typed in new team names. Glad I kept my old PS2 and previous versions of the game so I can get a football fix during the season.

What’s up with the mascot game coming back but still no FCS teams?

definitely looks like it to me. this is very exciting for me and I even played 08 on an hdtv.

I swear that diving catch at the end was the same diving catch from last gen madden smh.

[quote comment="21367"]people complain way too much about the commentary. there isnt an infinite amount of catch phrases to use with every single play.
yes you’d like it to sound more natural, but aside from getting multiple announcers which i think would be a waste of resources anyway, i dont think 50 or however many new lines makes much difference in the grand scheme of enjoyment.[/quote]

agreed! how many times can lee corso say “that was an excellent catch!”

and ea did add the post game show highlights, but they just havent shown it yet.

they just need to work on the pre-game stuff and it’ll be alright i guess. still, gameplay and graphics are what is more important.

[quote comment="21370"][quote comment="21344"]Um, were sure thats NCAA 09? If there were any changes they were, at best, minuscule. Its good to know that EA has made absolutly NO worthy changes to the presentation, i mean no one wants solid in-game presentation. I actually think Madden will be the better game this yr and i thought NCAA 08 was like a step away from being great. Cant say im shocked tho.[/quote]

Im with you here. If you’ve been reading the posts lately it I have been sticking with NCAA over Madden every year since the new gen thing. But this year I am keeping NCAA 08 and Madden might be the better game.

I think for me, the new broadcast team and presentation will make it a fresh new experience mainly because I just have not been playing Madden. NCAA 09 game play looks very similar to 08, except the linebacker’s reflexes seem toned down a little. that first near int was the players fault. The new player models look excellent now.[/quote]

lol, feel sorry for you. anyone that pays attention can see how much better the gameplay is on 09 than 08. but w/e. stick with your 08 (laughs).

please don’t get me started on facemasks!!! EA has refused to implement the new revolution iq facemasks, and CONTINUES to give quarterbacks those bulky (peyton manning/tennessee) face masks…so stupid!!

i think blake mitchell was the last loser to wear a similar one…thank goodness he graduated.
