NCAA Football 09 Hands-On Preview: Part one: Pasta Padre

They better do something about the interception . The past few years it was too easy to get interceptions. I even get tired of intercepting from the cpu sometimes because it is that bad.

It's good to see the PS3 version is running good, thats all I was worried about.

Like others have said, the fact they haven't fixed the overblown amount of interceptions is awful. The other thing that disappoints me is the fact he says the only way to stop an offense is via a turnover.

Anything over 5 min. quarters will lead to unrealistically HIGH scores?! I can only imagine what the statistics look like if we can only play 5 min quarters.

So, how far have we really come in football console gaming over the years? It sounds more and more like eye candy and arcade football. Bleech.

Exactly, I can't see myself spending $60 to be frustrated. If I wanted to burn my money away and be frustrated, I'd go play a championship golf course from the tips.

Agreed. It's frustrating because Gamespot's article has me excited for the online features, but they are almost meaningless if the core gameplay is still broken. Last year, the interceptions killed this game for me, and it sounds like that will happen again. I'll rent this game, but I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed again.

"There was a gap in communication and I have found out that hands-on reports of NCAA 09 are to be embargoed until May 2.

At that time, the Utopia hands-on report will be re-posted, along with updated thoughts from last night's event and interviews.".....cdj


Im sure the same happened with pasta


hmmm....

You know what sucks?

Here's what some guys think is a fun game:
Kickoff
Score
Score
Score
INT TD
Fumble
Score

Punts are "lame" in a video game I guess. A lot of people don't want strategy to be a part of the game. They want a fun game where they can be handed success.
