NCAA Football 09: Reason to Hope

06:19 PM - March 28, 2008 by RaychelSnr

NCAA Football 09's release is coming up in July. Operation Sports Patrick Williams looks at what we can expect in his latest article.

Quote:


	"Although NCAA Football 09 won't be out for a few more months, there is a bit of hope surrounding this season's release. This is now the third installment for the series on the Xbox 360 and second for Playstation 3. It is about time for EA Tiburon to show us what they�ve got up their sleeve. Development problems should be tackled by now as well as graphics and frame rate issues. This is perhaps the year we should see the full power of �Next Gen� come to fruition."

as they should be, especially if they have been "burned" by the series before.

I myself, will be once again purchasing this game day one. I am a huge football fan and have always been satisfied with this series.

This is all opinion (obviously..lol) but to me it seems EA is going for the "WOW" factor with the graphics on the current gen of consoles (ps3,360) instead of bringing the gameplay up to the same level of detail. Again,for me it's more out of frustration than anything else,and the "wait till next year" slogan was seriously played out last gen...and now here we are in current gen,and the same thing is being said. I just feel that SO MUCH more can be done to improve the gameplay. In alot of ways it reminds me of last gen,only with better graphics.

No, you shouldn't remain quiet, but you shouldn't make your "final" judgment either. And I disagree with the comment that it feels like last gen, because to me it doesn't. There is so much more "authenticity" in the PS2 version of the game vs the current gen(360, PS3) And for that reason, plus the turnover glitch and 30FPS, I decided to play the PS2 version last year.

But after reading about the new features that are being added to this year's version, I am excited that we are finally going to get what many have been clamouring for, and that was features omitted from the current gen games.

Are you kidding me?? So,instead of speaking our opinion about what we don't like about certain aspects,we are supposed to remain quiet and accept it?

I've never made any "final judgment" regarding this game....but with EA's recent track record,it's not hard to figure out that what we see in these "early" shots and vids,is what we're gonna get in the 09 version.

whoa, whoa, whoa.

That came out wrong. I am editing my post. Sorry for the confusion.

I was trying to say that you shouldn't remain quiet, but you shouldn't make you "final" judgment either. And before you take it this way, I am not speaking to about you individually.

LOL....It's all good bro. I must admit though,I was seriously confused by your comment. If I came off sounding harsh,I apologize...I was just shocked that you said that..lol

no problems on my end man. And I was confused by my original comment as well after reading it in your post.

And no need to apologize because you didn't come off harsh. I would have reacted the same way if someone told me that I couldn't speak of problems that I see with a game.
