Bah...sorry Karlifornia about that team dancing shenanigans...I didn't know who you wanted to be haha.

Ok, I'm going back in the FOFC room if anyone is up for a game.

Good game JetsIn06, I can't believe I played so stupid with the lead. I feel like Dennis Green.

See you in there...remember the password is trout.

ok well I'm gunna go play with myself or something...very lonely in the fofc room

christ rainmaker are you on dialup or something?

w00t triple dola

Whew...had to friendly quit against rainmaker after only a couple plays. I couldn't do a thing...I was having problems even putting in my normal QB in the depth charts.

Sorry. I don't respond during games. I was playing Galaxy. I'm around now for 1 more game if anyone is up for it.

Ah, I figured something was up. Usualy it will say if somebody is playing a game solo, or online, or whatever in their status thing. For both you and Galaxy it just said "online" and nothing else.

Really? That is kind of weird.

We're not special!

Yea playing with Rainmaker was very slow for me too.

Kodos took the win 23-14 (his last touchdown came very late just by trying to run down the clock, and he managed to bust it outside).

I'm still trying to figure out how exactly you do the video uploads. I saved them.

Is that how he likes it?

IUGSHUH

Came out on the losing end of that close one...good game.

Hey...did your kicker get iced? Is that in the online game? I saved my timeouts to ice you but have no idea if anything even affected you.

Yeah, it iced me.I'm just glad I ran into the middle of the field on the play before that, otherwise I would have had no idea what the hell I was gonna do. lol

Another good game...

Find the Videos in the menu...i forget exactly how to get there but if you dig around you will find them. Then, you click on them or highlight them and it will say "Upload". Do that. Then go to EASportsWorld.com. Create an account.

You may have to create an account first.

Kodos?

Anyone out there?

kodos is playing me right now. 10-10 in the 3rd...not bad :)

wow...that's all I have to say :)

Fooling around in campus legend but whenever anyone is done, send me a message.

Kodos just won on a tipped hail mary pass on the last play of the game. Absolutely nuts...whew. I'm glad this happened now...I shouldn't be calling anything but Prevent in that situation. Brain fart. Still a hell of a play though...gg Kodos!

Wow....upload that!

I didn't save it...I just assumed he would. Anyways just in case it doesn't get uploaded this is how it went. Since I didn't call prevent (ugh!) 1 or 2 guys got behind my DB's. He fired a bullet down the left sideline and my guy and his guy tipped it at the same time. The ball flew about 10 yards downfield perfectly into the arms of one of his other WR's with nobody near him. He just waltzed into the endzone...absolutely crazy ending. Good game otherwise, a couple picks by each of us which is I'm sure uncharacteristic. Some good play calling too. This will probably be the #1 greatest game on my NCAA 09 "greatest games" list forever...it's great game score is like 1986 or something like that.

Damn thats crazy.

I have an account. I just am having no luck finding the video link. I love how your game summary gives you playbooks that are the closest to what you ran.

Any idea of why my game froze two times in a row after I loaded it up and was scrolling through the regular menu screen after two minutes of loading the game up each time?

You can say that again. A crazy ending to a very close game. It was back and forth the whole game.





Here's another view:





Craziest play I've been involved with yet. Great game, Sun Tzu. It sure looked like you had me after that late FG.

Another good one Karl. Good game.

I'm sorry about my connection tonight guys. I think my ISP is just having a rough night. I'm on a cable modem in Chicago and never really run into lag issues online. For whatever reason, everything online has been real slow here. Hopefully isn't something I have to deal with again.

Yeah, good game, man. That kick return TD you did after I pulled to 14-10 really killed me. I had worked hard to overcome the 14-0 deficit you piled on me. Until next time.....

I don't know if you guys have been following the hoopla on OS, but it seems like online dynasties are completely broken. Some are going backwards, some are just randomly putting up simulated scores for users, some have random guys being added to their league, some even got hijacked. Seems like massive database issues.

I have some major issues with the game, but this was the one thing I really hoped would make it worth my money.

Kodos - that Hail Mary play was awesome.

Yep, it appears that the bugs continue to be found at a pretty solid pace. Online dynasty mode is not working well at all. The only thing I'm surprised about is that people seemed to think that this version was going to somehow be better than the previous versions.

I think in the end it is a little better than last years version even without the online dynasty factored in.

I suppose it's all relative. Last year's game was terrible, so that's not saying much.

What slider set are you guys using for PS3? I've tried 3 different ones and haven't been happy with any of them.

FYI....the sliders are not console specific. The game works the exact same way on either console.

So terrible I played 4 separate Heisman games (about 14 total seasons I think) :rolleyes:

The INT issue was annoying, but tons of fun to play.

Yep. I was jumping up and down as he ran into the endzone. Those sorts of plays are total luck, but a blast nonetheless. :cool:

Crappy news about the online dynasties.

So, outside of a brutal game engine that was unrealistic at best, the game was fine. The game was widely criticized, so I'm certainly not saying anything ground-breaking here.

The early pre-sale estimates being floated around appear to support the continuing trend of another double digit drop in sales for this year's version of the game. That's pretty telling. Once we get some firm numbers, we'll have a better idea exactly what consumers think of the franchise overall. Certainly, when you have video game sites publishing headlines like 'NCAA 09 has a s%$#load of problems', that's far from the favorable publicity that they're looking for just after release.

FWIW, as one of the few LG holdouts, I bought the PS2 version over the weekend and am really enjoying it. The gameplay has been tightened up, and as soon as I get a good feel for slider settings over a couple of seasons running my dynasty at a lower-level school, I'll be ready to move up to a real school and take on a challenging AI. I've noticed improved angles, smoother gameplay/player movements, players getting run down on long returns, a more difficult option offense (I used to wear out the opposition with 3 or 4 option plays, which I can still do, but it's more realistic), and oh yeah...SUPER SIM IS SO GREAT. I was up 27-0 in my first game at halftime, and simmed through the rest of the game, stopping occasionally. What would have taken me an hour to sleep-walk through took me 30 minutes, and I won 34-3.

I guess my biggest thing is the "new" (for me) recruiting model, which I'll have to get used to. But otherwise, I'm glad I upgraded from 07.

I would not characterize it as neither "brutal" nor "terrible". I got my money's worth out of it. Was it as good as it could be? Certainly not. This was the first version of NCAA I've ever owned, and I enjoyed it for what it was.


Different issue entirely. I don't see enough out of 09 to buy it with 08 sitting at home.

Not saying it's the end-all be-all of football games. I just reserve words like "brutal" and "terrible" for games like Maximum Football. NCAA 08 was fun with warts. That's all.

Anyone have an estimate for patch #2? First patch wont really clear up much of what I'm interested in.

Hopefully patch 2 isn't NCAA 2010. Actually, more likely, patch 2 will be patch 1 for NCAA 2010. F this company.

I also purchased the PS2 version this weekend as an upgrade from 04 & 06. Supersim is very useful, and during the weekend I finished the first season of a dynasty. I loved the graphical drive chart during the supersim. Overall game play was enjoyable. The only thing that bothered me was that the in-season recruiting seem to be easy. As Tulsa I was able to steal a few recruits from Texas and Oklahoma. Though, it might have just been some good luck and my roster needs versus their roster needs.

Does Mizzou B-ball fan hold some kind of personal vendetta against EA or something? This thread is happy go lucky for hours on end then he comes in with "just fyi EA is owned by satan himself, and I just witnessed one of their employees punch a baby in the face and laugh"...

???

He is not a fan.

Yeah, the drive chart is cool, too. I'm just starting my dynasty so the in-season recruiting is just getting started, but it looks a lot like 06 so far. We'll see if it's easy to get good recruits, because I moved Eastern Kentucky to Div I to start with a lowly team so I can move up in 2-3 years. The super sim is going to allow me to play through some seasons quickly that I otherwise would have skipped, or just simmed the entire season through. Anyway, as EKU, I shouldn't be able to get many, if any, 4 or 5 star guys.

You summarized it better than I could. :)

This is for you Mizzou :)

Ok, at least buy/try out the the game for a period before you go off and complain.
