Have a screenshot request from our beta copy of NCAA Football 09? If so, setup your mini-avatar and put in your request.*Comments closed, look for the screenshots later this evening. I'll have another setup tomorrow, so if I didn't get to your request, you either didn't have a mini-avatar setup, or I didn't get to it. Post it again tomorrow.

Under the circumstances I was faced with over the past week, I haven't been able to play the game as much as I would like, but if you have a question, post it here. Later this evening I will answer as many of them as I can.FYI, the readers that have their mini-avatars setup, will have a better chance of having their question answered.
*Comments closed, look for some of the answers later this evening. I'll have another setup tomorrow. Get your mini-avatar setup now and be ready for tomorrow.
