NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

[feeq14]

Is there any word on them fixing super sim mode?

All I know is we damned well better have the ability to not only have weather, day/night and alternate uniforms online but select it as well.

I'm really glad to see shared online rosters, that will be nice to not have to fool with that stupid Transfer Kit nonsense. Oh and I LAUGH now at the clown who paid all that big money to buy Fairdale's site when this is the first year the rosters will be shareable. Turns out Fairdale got out when the getting was good.

Also, it'll be great to see HFA back, i really have missed that from the last-gen. It adds tremendously to the excitement and uniqueness of college football.

And I think what they mean by post-play continuation is something my friend ghostrider76 and I have complained about for a long time, when you score a TD as soon as the nose of the ball is over the end zone line everyone, including the running back, just stops as if they somehow magically know the ball is over the line. In real football they play situations like that sometimes even a little beyond the whistle blow. That's just one example of post play continuation. As someone else said another example would be players helping other players up, WRs going from a full sprint to a fast jog then a slow jog, etc instead of just going from full sprint to the same walking speed as the other players.

If all this is true it should be one hell of a game hands down. Could NCAA be making their move on Madden for all the slacking the past 5 years. ndboi out.

[dopeboy206]

they should fix their interception bug if anything.

I agree with most on the thread that these are features that should have already been in the "next gen" installment of NCAA.

Things i wanted added or fixed for NCAA 09 are:

Correct facesheilds "not dark even though it looks cool" should be clear.

Snow games shouldnt look like your playing on a sheet of snow with no field patterns to mark the yard lines.

Rainy games shouldnt have the majority of the rain in the middle of the field, it should be balanced across the entire field, sideline to sideline.

All or some of the 1-AA teams (If last year didnt show us nothing else it was the impact that some 1-AA teams can have on the polls) such as App. State

"Worthwhile" alternate jerseys. Dont give us some variation of socks on the same uni and call it alternate.

MOST OF ALL
Play call screen similar to last gen where you had a 3 play option to not let your "in house" opponent know what play you're going to choose. I dont know why this is so difficult to implement, not everyone plays this game online. I have many friends over sometime and we play on each other on the same TV and it gets annoying when you have to pick a play and your opponent has to look away until your done or something like that because i hate the "bluff" feature.

[jeetaa6]

my 2 favorite features mentioned...

quick replay
and
post play continuation (i hope it's like APF2K8 where you can dive on a guy that's already down and get flagged for late hit after the whistle-it's a blast. yes, i'm a simple man.)

i saw "User Customizable Stadium Sounds & Music" and I'm sold. Seriously.

I wish there was an option to have a different playcalling menu with more press button options. I dislike bluff, but I don't think it bothered enough people to change it, so I don't expect it.
