NCAA Football 09 New Features Announced

[metallidevils]

honestly, the atmosphere features look nice, but at least from that trailer in the other thread, all of these little tweaks are being done on top of last year's game. Meaning, running still looks horrible, last year it felt like running on pavement, not grass. How does EA not fix this? Also, this is what, their 3rd year on next gen, and they still have ps2 graphics?

WTF? I know some people don't like the models in the game but to say they're still PS2 graphics is just ridiculous.

ok, they're not THAT bad, but for next gen, yes, they are bad. Honestly, play a game of NHL 08 or The Show 08, the graphics blow them away. The stadiums, players, field, animations, EVERYTHING in The Show looks better than this game.

Football games will always be the worst looking games on the market. Compare the amount of processing the system has to do with so many individual interactions and it's obvious.

Though the models in EA's football games do tend to look ridiculous.

one little thing i wish, and still hope makes it in, is the video screens, not showing you what your already seeing. Have the video screens showing a TV broadcast view. I think every sports game with bigscreens do this, i guess it must take too much power from the system to do this or else someone would have done it.

I am curious about one thing. On the features list, it talked about new post game presentation. Does that mean that they are gonna bring back pre-game presentation as well? I don't think I've seen anything mentioned about it. It would be sweet to see team-specific entrances such as the UT Vols running thru the "T"!
