Good to hear the comparison! I absolutely love NCAA 09. The graphics and varied shots of the crowd, coaches and players are well done. The only down side is the lack of injuries in played games, but I guess I can live with that. I haven't completed an entire season yet, so I'm not sure about how happy I'll be with the recruiting. I know there have been lots of negative comments about there being too many 4 and 5 star recruits. I'm not sure of the impact of this, but it seems like the top recruits would still end up with the top programs. Any experience with recruiting?
