5 AM ET is typically when things go up from microsoft.

I'm at least renting it....

But for me i liked last years general "look" this year it seems they have NOT done something I personally like and thats stray more toward a cartoony color pallete and ugly grass textures

Why would you want them to have a cartoony color pallete and ugly grass textures?

So have they put it out for silver members yet?

	Night games in the NCAA Football 09 demo? Apparently there are if you set your console�s date to November or December. Both the standard play now game and the mascot game will take place at night if you do so. Thanks to NCAA Strategies for this info. EA Sports has released a recruiting guide for NCAA Football 09. The three pages cover the basics of recruiting. You can check it out in PDF form by clicking here. The best addition to recruiting this year should be the �Quick Call� which will trim down on the monotony of and time spent making phone calls.

Last years grass texture and color were horrible....looked almost like you were playing on putting greens in golf and the color of the grass for some stadiums were too dark!!!!!!

My mistake i meant that this years version looks cartoony

# 1251 callmetaternuts @ 06/26/08 07:01 PM

I know none of us have the game, but figured this might be worth asking anyways

1) When you score, i know you can celebrate with the mascot. But what happens with teams who dont have a mascot in the game? Are they able to celebrate in an extra way?

2) as Perrilloux against OSU, you can obviously see he is rattled against the OSU home crowd. Is this due to the fact that A) its an away game for him or B) he's a younger player. Will it be less "squiggly" if he performs well? WIll Seniors show more routes and buttons than freshmen?

# 1252 callmetaternuts @ 06/26/08 07:16 PM

Two more questions......

1) What is the "Show My Levels" at the play call screen. I assume its to show if a player is "hot" or "cold" , can anyone confirm?

2) For those who have d/l'ed both versions. What are the feelings on PS3 vs 360?

you can celebrate with a team mate by running up to them. some teams have specific celebrations, i think UCF is one of them.

you can always do what i do sometimes and after scoring a TD, just run around a defender in a circle over and over again taunting him.

I think its tied to the Awareness attribute. higher the better obviously. theres probably more factors in it, like class, but i don't know.

I believe thats the composure level of your players.

Most everyone has said one of two things: that the 360 version is better, but the difference is so slight it doesn't matter, or that there's no difference at all. 1 and 1a kind of thing.

Pretty much.

Some say the PS3 looks better, some say the 360 looks better while some say there is no difference. While some say the 360 looks years better which I don't see how that could be.

I'm happy with the PS3 version as long as they fix the center bumping the Qb to the right or left and clean up the game a little and fix the other bugs.

The reason i ask is i play as FSU and dont think their mascot is in the game. I dont want to miss out on some cool celebrations

Im hoping this is right, would be a good implementation. If the QB plays well, it should settle down a bit imo

Is it composure or how hot or cold? I saw Boeckman turn yellow once, that was it.

any word if the glitches will be fixed? The QB Slide, the Stiff Arm glitch (player never switches the ball)

In my mind the 360 version is definitely better looking. I have had both up on the same TV and the 360 version just looks more crisp and the colors are better. I have already per-ordered for the PS3, but I am really having second thoughts. If I stay with the PS3 version it will only be because I have more confidence that the PS3 hardware can withstand lots of non-stop gaming. I do have a 360 Elite and have had no problems with it (so far), so I am really on the fence on which version to go with. I had asked Adam if the PS3 retail version will look better, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

I'm thinking so as well. Or the build was behind and now is caught up as the community event guys are saying. We'll see in July but I would be surprised if the graphics aren't cleaned up.

# 1260 callmetaternuts @ 06/26/08 09:19 PM

Are you guys just presuming the PS3 build is older or not as up to date? Id like to believe that, but i cant imagine them doing that.....but i hope you are correct
