NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

[AuburnAlumni]

Some of you folks need to lighten up.

There are some pretty damn good features on that list.

I'm LMAO at all the folks scoffing at the online dynasty. Guess what...I probably won't run an online dynasty with more than 2-3 other people anyway.

After the Horror Show that is "League Manager" and seeing how much like little girls some guys are as far as staying active, getting games played, etc...do you really think I'm going to jump right into a long term dynasty with 30 guys?


Fixing the DB and LB Pass interacting, allowing the CPU QB to throw the deep ball, and giving me the opportunity to play a true Online Dynasty is all I need for this game to be pretty much the only one I'll play this year. And I'm not the only one who feels this way.

All that other stuff is just filler.

Not really. There's one good feature on the list.

Literally every single other thing on that list was either in last gen or 2k's games. Oh wait, we can return field goals.

So essentially the list reads:

Online dynasties
Most of the PS2/Xbox features come back
Returnable field goals

That's all I need it to read. Like I said..the rest is filler.

The AI was pretty good after the patch in this years version. Just tighten up the DB/LB Pass interaction and have the CPU throw deep and I'm good to go.

But then again..I'm old and easily amused.

How will these Online dynasties work?

no classic teams and/or all-time rosters?

Very impressive features list by EA. The main thing will be implementing all of this stuff and getting it to work together without any major bugs.

More wide open game play, breakaway crowd reactions, online dynasty, file sharing, formation audibles, smart routes, better passing control, and random play selection in practice are the huge ones for me.

PS3 running at 60FPS was an absolutely must for me, and they apparently got it done. I'm really excited for this game to come out, it has tons of potential to be great if EA can implement all these features and make game play slightly smoother. Time will tell.

From what I understand, it's basically dynasty for offline mode, only online. Each team will be controlled by an actual online player instead of the computer, and you'll basically play out the season with the teams selected.

I'm not sure if recruiting is done, but that'd be really sweet if it was.

EA could give them everything they want and deliver a fantastic game and they still would hate it. People act like NCAA 08 was atrocious.
