NCAA Football 09: To Buy or Not to Buy?

[chappy14]

great to hear someone else with the intello. I received my dads from him a few years back, we still hook it up for a game of 4 hour football every thanksgiving. No patches necessary.
If the guy went the wrong direction, you did it!

Yep, my hype just went away and I probably won't be buying either titles this year.

See what happens when you are a monopoly. You have to buy the broken Crap EA sells. Are you meaning to tell me during beta testing no one edited the rosters and the first few hours people have found a bug large enough to make the game suck!

This is like the psp bug a couple of years ago.

LOL nice one EA

Maybe I'll pick up '08 since it's cheap (never played it) and wait until these issues in '09 are addressed.

I've been one of the more critical guys on here.

Bottom line folks...

If you can handle offense-oriented games, buy it. It's fun. It's a blast to play online and online dynasty will be phenomenal.

I'm a defensive minded guy, always have been, which is why I'm harping on the lack of pass rush/Robo QB, but honestly, this is the most fun I've had since 06.

It's a very solid title.

Well, I have had time to digest everything that I have been reading. I am now officially going to pass on NCAA 09 this year. This will be the first time in the history of EA's NCAA that I have done this. They dumbed down the defense to make the game more fun for the casual gamer. Sliders don't seem to help that issue and I am a defensive player. If Madden ends up the same way, I will officially walk away from all of EA's games if this is what the future holds for us hardcore gamers. Who wants a arcade football game?
