NCAA Football 09 Video w/ Dave Ross: GameSpot

The lighting looks amazing!!!


Hard to take alot away from that little demonstration given the fact that its on Freshman level and the guy only played on offense.

I liked the speed and the fact that the guy had an incomplete pass that wasn't seemingly close.

I am very, very, very disappointed that once again its stadium fly-by, coin toss without captains on the field and then the kickoff. Wheres the players running onto the field? For that matter, why isn't there at least the captains on the field with the Ref to do the coin toss?

Little minute things I know, but the coin toss with captains is at least in Madden.

Tell me about it....I so looked forward to running my team into the stadium with my custom music

Yeah its hard to tell much from that vid....Im glad the graphics look nice but I don't think I can suffer through another turnover fest again.

Me too.

When they score a TD, why do they cut away from it so fast?

[spankdatazz22]

Wow it's moving really fast. Too fast imo - with all that speed and seemingly no momentum, not sure where the new juke system is going to matter much. It wouldn't be too bad if they had animations to depict directional changes better; it's like the players are zipping all over the place. Post play cutscenes were fairly well done. Defensive line looks pretty much non-existent; not sure how they get away with not having competent OL/DL play. Good that we got to see a little gameplay video though

How hard is it to show a cutscene of the team RUNNING ONTO THE FIELD?!! Honestly...I'm serious. That would help the "atmosphere" Petey. Sorry, I'm just venting over stuff that should have been in and STAYED IN this series YEARS AGO. Still plan on buying it but Good lord I wish there were some guys in charge of this game that UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL. Not a bunch of geeks who have no clue that in reality....football games aren't 65-60 explosions with 17 turnovers a game and 3 penalties. End of rant.

agree!!!!!!!!!!!

On a positive note. One small thing(something I've wanted for years) I noticed was a scene with 3 TN defenders and one of them had socks up to the bottom of his calf, like on the old NCAA's and two others had the short ones. I hope sock length is an equipment option.

I would like to see FL with white and blue shoes, as well as all other teams' colors.
