I'm not 100% sure but try running towards some teammates or pressing the triangle button.

Oh I must say, I LOVE the "Wide Open Gameplay".

Either that or press the circle button. I'll try it out and come back.

Hi Adam,

I wanted to say how much I appreciate your attitude and caring about the product. I am VERY impressed with the demo. I think you guys have done a superb job. It's amazing to me that it plays so well given the fact that : this is not the final build, it is on varsity level, there are no slider adjustments. I am really looking forward to July 15!

I won't play another one for another 5 years I'm sure so why is it still in there. Maybe I'm totally alone on this one but I doubt it.

I think the mascot game was apart of a different group that worked on NCAA 09 and it wouldn't have any effect on getting those other features in.

I disagree with players having more weight. The players are much twitchier (if that is a word) next gen and a lot of that stems from the lack of a true physics/momentum.

Anyone think the graphics have been dumbed down?

I like the new player models and all but I noticed there are never any really close shots of the players during the cutscenes like in 08. I think they may have got rid of the textures on the jerseys.

You know what I mean? When they cut to a real close shot in 08 you can see the textures and the jerseys actually look like cloth. I'm not sure this is in 09.

Now this isn't a big deal, just an observation. I did like the closer zoom in on the players in 08 though. Made it feel a little more like tv presentation.

I see I am not the only one who feels this way...
