I scored a TD with Wells and went up to the Mascot and he did the Heisman pose.
I noticed Brian Robiskie was extremely dark skinned in the Demo ...dunno if it was the lighting but it's not a bid deal cuz we can edit skin color anyways!!!!!

I like the speed difference between someone with his speed vs the average speed WR or RB. It's not overdone, but you can feel that he is faster. If they get to the edge and you don't have an angle...look out!

Also during the cut scenes, sidelines could be animated more as the developers could choose to render only what is visible on screen and or create the cut scenes separately like other sports have done.
The mascot celebrations in this game are a really nice touch. It adds something to when the play is over.
I just did the craziest dive/jump into the endzone with Williams as Jenkins tried to catch me on a HB sweep. Williams dove and did like a spin or 360 or something into the endzone for six. It actually looked pretty sweet. I also like the low dive and reach the ball out across the goal line they put in this year. Nicely done.

Is there a specific way to trigger this, or is it a random luck thing?

I don't really know how to describe it, but this is the only sports franchise (aside from mlb 2k series) that still doesn't 'feel' next gen. Pop in NHL 08 for ps2 vs ps3, the difference is incredible. MLB 08 vs any other baseball game, nothing like it. Madden, NBA series, everything else, clearly has a superior next gen version. But for this series, I actually opted to play my 07 ps2 version over my 08 ps3 version. The graphics honestly don't even look that much worse, and the gameplay is a lot better. NCAA 09, so far, seems just like a slightly tweaked 08, with more injuries (i had 6 in my first game) and more dropped passes. The atmosphere is still incredibly lacking, and honestly, college atmosphere is really the only reason to get NCAA over Madden. I'd be more than happy if NCAA was allowed to just take the madden code, put in the college teams and stadiums, and work from there.

However, I was just like you with NCAA '08. The turnover festival made me trade it in and buy it for the old XBox. I think NCAA '09 is much better (so far) and it sounds like the retail version will be better than what we have seen over the past 24 hours with the demo.

sad truth is all of the things we are asking for as far as presentation, d-line play, and a real football gameplay without 10 turnovers a game were created years ago with NFL 2k5. OMT maybe you can tell me why you guys are so far behind in those categories?
I am not going to pick this one a part this year - Bottom line for me, suprisingly enuff - is to skip NCAA 09 this year and wait for Madden 09. It seems for the first time in a long time, Madden has alot more going for it than NCAA does this year 'round. I suppose next year will be the year for NCAA. It should get all of the bastardized features from Madden this year and a few others. All I want is a good game of football at this point, don't care if it's NCAA or NFL at this point or not. Just my sole opinion.

Maddens online season this year just doesnt quite add up to the dynasty

I agree with you. If you get a good group of guys, on-line dynasty should be a blast for NCAA.

I really really want to buy this years games, BOTH of them, but I've decided to hold off on NCAA for at least a week after release, and hope that some of you guys here at OS will give me some feedback about the CPU Turnover issue. You guys saved me some $$$ last year, which was both good and bad.. Good, because, well, the games were two of the worst games I have ever played.. Bad, because, I went an entire year without a football title. Now, I'm buying Madden for sure, even though Madden is my biggest concern, when it comes to the turn over issue. Because I have to have at least one game this time around.
I'm hoping for all good feedback, and the opportunity to rush right out and pick up the game... but I expect to see threads, and the slider forum fill up once again with people trying to find decent CPU game play.
Wasting $60 is better than wasting $120, though.
