# 2 countryboy @ 04/02/08 10:13 PM

great find and thanks.

looking forward to July 15th

I know people will have their ideas that didnt make it, but i guess the "It used to be in there and its not anymore (Home Field, Formation Subs)" argument should be dried up now. Seems like alot of old features are back.

As always though, we have to wait and see how these features actually perform. They had "dynamic cheering crowds" in the first edition on XBOX 360, and it sucked, so hopefully this works.

All in all though, im impressed and hopeful

WOW!!!!

# 5 SteelerSpartan @ 04/02/08 10:25 PM

refs,chain gangs, and field goal nets better be part of that "atmosphere" too

Also the Devs better go into hiding if there isn't a Create a School mode

And I want some Alt Uni's.....Im tired of not being able to wear the Eers Blue pants and White shirt combo that they have worn in all of their most recent bowl games.

Probably the thing Im most excited about though is that they will have the Roster share included, makes things way easier a la College Hoops this year

after looking at that list im getting excited about ncaa 09

I agree with you on that 100%. July 15th can't come soon enough

User Customized Stadium Music..... does that mean we'll finally have custom soundtracks?

Honestly, I am not sold until I see some improved gameplay videos but I certainly am trying to be an optimist and the list is pretty impressive thus far, granted 3 years over due, but we'll see.

Online dynasties are huge for me. PLEASE let them fix the interception/turnover issues and tighten up the gameplay, because I want this game to be worth buying. My best friend is in NJ and I'm down in Louisiana and we've been waiting years for a game to do online dynasties right.

I just went to pastapadre.com and saw this also, there is a god.
This will be the best ncaa football game ever, well theoretically every year should be the best ever, but this will be the first to actually do that.

Despite all thats been said over the past year, I think only the most resolute of EA detractors will be able to resist giving the game a try. Tons will still end up hating it, and cursing themselves for having no willpower, but not before they take the plunge and fork over the cash.

I was always going to buy it, but that list is much more extensive then I thought it would be, so while my head may be saying "wait and see", my heart is saying "Wow, this game may be great".

If I'm duped, I'll be saying "Shame on Me" not "Shame on them", because as I've said before, EA Tiburon is a known entity.

# 12 Cusefan @ 04/02/08 10:49 PM

I will stop worrying about Ncaa 09 until i see a video of the presentation. otherwise, great list.

# 13 Kevin26385 @ 04/02/08 10:55 PM

They changed there graphics again

Yet they have time for 50 alt jerseys out of the box?

Dont get me wrong, I am extremely excited!

# 14 Hey_Rebby @ 04/02/08 11:01 PM

This list sounds great.

While I don't think they'll ever list it as a game improvement, I would like to seem them return to the old gen. version of the play calling screen. You can save a lot of time off the play clock when you have 3 options to call a play.

# 15 davin @ 04/02/08 11:05 PM

Very good list, but what I find very comical... MASCOT GAMES ARE BACK. Now the four people who played that mode (beyond the one or two games just to see what it was) can enjoy it again. While I wanted to see recruiting simplified a bit, the description is a bit scary, I'll wait and see what "ease and accessibility" means.

# 16 lionelzeus @ 04/02/08 11:09 PM

What about a real pocket being formed on pass plays.
I'm sorry but the offensive and defensive line interaction needs to be realistic.
No more rushing upfield with a Defensive end and getting sucked into the oline men.

Im thinkin the Mascot games are for the 7 year olds out there who like football...

Hopefully they will have Otto the Orange in this years game, I miss him playing NCAA

CO-OP!

# 19 SageInfinite @ 04/02/08 11:13 PM

List looks good. Still gotta see if they're adding chain gangs and refs. They get those in there, I really will have nothing to complain about, YET, lol.

# 20 thmst30 @ 04/02/08 11:14 PM

Honestly, ****ing mascot games before 1-AA. **** you EA. I knew that 1-AA was left out this year already, just didn't know they actually wasted their time to put the ****ing mascot games back in first. Also I LOVE how some of those "New" features were the ones they took out and are now putting back in. If your not gonna give me 1-AA, at least give me create-a-team. You know that feature that was in Madden LAST year. Glad most you guys are happy, but I obviously have reason to be sour.
