NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

[oldman]

Something else I would like to know more about now that I have had time to think about it is the bobble catch feature. How does that work I wonder? I hope it doesn't turn into something that every other time we throw a pass the guys bobbles the catch.

I guess the list is nice, but most of those features were in last-gen. EA continues the trend of removing features from the game and then adding them back in as a bullet point on the box.

Some of the new features do sound cool, but until I see more gameplay and also read some reviews from the OS community, I'm not buying it. I got burned with last year's version.

New play-by-play commentary! Prolly not all new but they could atleast re-word what they say now to change it up.

Formation audibles the same as formation subs?

In a later post I explained.

It should have been in last year(as well as in 07) and EA shouldn't use it as something to get a pat on the back this year. EA is really funny.

soungs promising. Either way, i'm gonna pony up and buy the game. I've been doing it every summer since...let me see...1993? Its a ritual now. I'm quietly optimistic.

What about gameplay improvements? OL/DL interactions, AI, animations, more wrap tackles, will short yardage & goaline finally be implemented in the game correctly, pile ups, real DB play like APF, no more suction blocking, No more sliding ( i wanna feel like they players are really on the field instead of sliding over a green grid), fix the weather affects ala APF, the rain & snow are horrible in NCAA 08....etc??.... Take into consideration how will these features be implemented? EA can add all they want & still mess it up by not making it look authentic & realistic... Lets hope for the best

I don't think the ncaa will let them use the weather like that same with madden and the NFL!!! But on the features part i fell ya! Kind of like NFL gameday use to have all the features but didn't do sh!t ingame!!!!
