NCAA Football 09 Debut Trailer

[umd]

Meh - all means nothing if the cpu AI still turns the ball over 10 times a game.

show me a gameplay video and i'll start to be more interested.

Game looks better than last year but like the above poster said the excessive turnovers ruined the game last year so unless that's been adressed F it.

The trailer looked great, as always... but I have to say the stadiums do look much better and have some life to them.

The one thing that really bothered me that may have been mentioned was during the part they were talking about formation specific audibles.... WHAT THE HECK WERE THE LBERS DOING??? Were they bowing to the overratedness of Juice Williams?

Yeah, I noticed this also. Looks like a serious graphics glitch. Hopefully, they catch it before release.

Yup...I've already got my Auburn Marching Band CD ready to go!

Did the same thing in College Hoops back on original XBOX. It added SO MUCH to get to hear the real Auburn band play during a game.

There is a great deal of clipping going on there at that point too. Guys looking deformed and what not. They'll fix that most likely. Ohhh but I know they better fix the way the linebackers line up on NG NCAA on short yardage. It's straight bunk what they do. They line up on the line in between the linemen, pushing their guys offsides and what not, pretty messed up. I don't want to see any of that. Also, FB Dive better not still be a money run in short yardage situations.

I know, that excites me more than just about anything, time to play some Hang on Sloopy at the Horseshoe and Hells Bells on 3rd and long!

These thoughts have been mentioned but as a Big XII kind of guy (and more importantly an Oklahoma guy) these things have me excited:

The RRS is in the Cotton bowl AND the crowd is split down the 50 yard line in the vid. Hooray!

Okie State's stadium expansion is in.

Otherwise, stadiums look better, game looks better overall. Instead of the cartoony look they've toned down the colors quite a bit, which is a huge plus.

I'm worried the wide open gameplay is going to result in unrealistic results with guys juking and doing unhumanlike stuff. HOWEVER, I honestly just want the game to be fun. I have never asked for a perfect sim as long as I can have fun with the game (as I think a perfect sim would actually suck). So here's to hoping the fun factor is back in 09.

I also might add that the audible system I proposed on MaddenMania right after NCAA was released last year looks like it is *kinda* in the game. I went into detail on a very similar system and Christmas Cards can be sent to me later.
