Just read Pasta�s site (pastapadre.com) and saw a link to sportsgamer.com�s impression on NCAA 2009. It is not looking too promising anymore for this game. �the game feels very basic. there aren't a lot of extras like you see in other EA SPorts games. Like i posted earlier, it feels very bare bones. Almost the way Madden 2006 felt on the 360� was a line that stuck out to me. This is what I was worried about with this game. NCAA 09 had potential, but not to the surprise of any, they might have blown it again. This game is March Madness all over again, despite what has been said about it. Apparently not much has been changed from the demo. You will still get stuck in animations that will take you out of bounds, randomly simulates games, and look at this: BYU, Michigan State, Georgtown and South Alabama were in the Final Four. I thought work was done on to make sure this wouldn't happen. South Alabama in the Final Four?!

I know the demo for this game was not very much fun to play. It sure looked better than before, but it still controlled and played the same, and that is a big problem for me. We will be seeing reviews for this game pretty soon, and hopefully some people will enjoy this game.

My recommendation? Go buy College Hoops 2k8 and download new rosters off of 2kShare. Take the $40+ you save and go buy Tiger Woods 2009.
