Despite Flaws, NCAA 09 a Great Experience

[distauma]

First of all for someone who says people are mistaken if they get more than .5 sacks a game that's just ludicrous... I have found ways to create pressure on the defensive front and have gotten roughly 3 sacks a game which feels right to me.

Also, I feel I'm getting some pretty realistic results from this game when playing against the computer. I'll have long drives or just break for a huge run or I'll go 3 and out at times. The computer has thrown deep bombs on me and sometimes completed them; it might not happen as often as in real life, but I have seen it on occasion, maybe once a game.

I think this game plays pretty well, and if anything is downright fun, and for people to bash others for enjoying it (claiming they are EA apologists) or claiming critics are not doing their job because they actually gave it a decent score, you need to realize not everyone agrees with the outspoken minority in these forums. Not everyone needs a perfect simulation experience to enjoy their video games.

I love it too! As a PS3 owner last years game sucked and I didn't even buy Madden (first time in forever)!!! My beef with this game is they still don't have the dang ball rotating in the right direction. A right handed qb's ball will rotate counterclockwise. That's just not right. I know its minor but replays look awful like that. EA, FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!

One of the most over-used yet idiotic agruments of all time. If you want to play arcade games, just play NFL street!

See, it goes both ways which is why that argument is so lame.

I agree with people renting this game first. Also, I have no problem with anybody enjoying this game. If you feel like you spent your money well, by all means enjoy your game. I'm just saying this game is far away from being worth the price when it comes to playing like actual football.

Seriously, some of you are having a cow over nothing.

Same here. I've never seen the robo qb before. And I get a bunch of sacks. Almost too much. Interceptions aren't an issue either.

No it doesn't, since when have they made NCAA Street? Lol, j/k, I see what you mean, but I don't want a true arcade game, or a sim. Ideally, I want a compromise between the two, and I think, for the most part, that's what I got with this year's game. But you're right, I would probably make a similar argument to someone who wanted pure arcade games, but I still don't see why my first point was incorrect. You want arcade, go play NFL Blitz, you want realism, go play for real. Why is that idiotic, I don't understand?

I love this game. I'm using Firktaf's heisman sliders as of now. I'm still trying to find my set and right now I'm thinking that heisman is the way to go.
