NCAA Football 09 Video w/ Dave Ross: GameSpot

[davin]

I think the game speed is a result of the freshman difficulty. That guy playing the game scares me though, he doesn't even wait around before leaving the pocket. Even though I tend to scramble out more often than not, I wait to make some reads before doing so. I really do not think we can gain anything about gameplay from this vid, freshman difficulty kills that. Also keep in mind "wide open gameplay" doesn't look too good if they play on heisman and it is a defensive struggle. Oh well, I think it will be a long time until we really get to judge this game, until we have guys from other sites (not the ign, gamespot, etc) who test the game out at heisman and all american.

I'm excited about the potential of what I saw in this vid, and I'll be be very interested to see what the game looks like in a month or two.

Well said. Game hits in mid July and it isn't May yet. Plenty of time for adjustments, and additions.

oh man, wonderful, yet another small thing ea could add and they don't. honestly so far the only two things i've seen that i've liked so far is better grass/field texture and much better lighting. so that's all they've done i guess this year. wow, that's unreal.

oh i know, but those are the only two things i can remember offhand from all my reading and watching of vids i've seen. the online dynasty too but if the game's hosed then that's not much of an addition.
