NCAA Football 09, 08, 07 Screenshot Comparison

[Mizzou23]

I don't notice much of a difference from year to year. All I know is that every year, something new is added and not implemented very well (homefield advantage, composure, jump the snap etc) or something with the gameplay that wasn't a problem before will all of a sudden become a problem (06 with easy bombs, drops, too many INT's).

Basically I haven't been 100% happy with an EA product since '04, although I did enjoy the last installment quite a bit (but still there are way too many INT's). But there have been many more misses than hits as of late on this franchise.

MadScientist over at MaddenMatrix posted the following direct comparison pic (09 vs 08):

Based on that comparison by MadScientist, I like the new models a lot better. Good find. The shoulder pads and body proportions are much better.

the lighting in last years game (07) was amazing. especialy games right at sunset. seems toned down in 08, i asume to upgrade other graphics and increase frame rate (which is cool) but made for some nice screen shots in 07.

the '09 player models seem to "stand out" more. Probably due to the new lighting that EA has implemented this year.

they still look ******** with the superman arms, look at all the veins in ol' dude's arms. look at the girth of those things, not every player looks like Lattimer from "The Program"

I don't wanna muddy up this thread with hate BUT.

NCAA 08 was near perfect in it's "core" visuals. And from what I've seen and most importantly READ NCAA 09 is gonna mess up 08's visuals up. they've messed with the lighting model which was absolutely stunning last year and it seems like they went and beefed up players as well which should have been left skinny.

I seriously doubt that EA will do good by both their football titles this year and thats why i am avoiding them like the plague this year.

I truly LIKED the look and feel of NCAA last year. their lighitng was again stunning and me just reading the fact that they've gone and "improved " it worried me so much along with messing with the colors of the game etc that were almost perfect last years. where they needed to add stuff was players on the sidelines and more cut scene action along with maybe better 'snow" effects.

i fear the absolute worst for this years football titles the absolute worst...

Looking at the comparison on pastpadres site, 09 looks really good and alot better than 08.
