Okay, I don't know how to add the highlights... :(

Finally found it... How do I get it into a nice little video like you guys have.

I only uploaded one as to see if I could even do it. This play was the clincher. We read the quarterback nicely and sealed the deal.

click share, and look at the bottom for the code you copy in ehre

edit: taking a quick snack break, send me a ping if you want a game here

Done...

I've got to eat, I'll ball ina few.

Rub it in, Mike...rub it in.

BigDPW and I played, but I'm confused on how to upload vidoes :(

Ready in fofc

I'll wait until 8:35 to play a game with one of yous....

The wii version is getting absolutely killed on IGN's reader reviews - apparently dynasty mode is shallow, the team-specific stadiums aren't, and just general "this-game-sucks" by people who don't really sound like haters.

Edit: well, some do.

So, uh, I think I'll go with PS2 if I pick it up.

http://rr.wii.ign.com/rrobj/wii/ncaa...play/14235441/

Just played Mike in a great game (Mississippi State vs. NC). However, we fell 21-10. Opened up the game with an interception run-back. Threw an interception on the second to last play in the first half inside the 10 (I think I was inside the 10). Then, his corner picked up his second interception of the game and ran it back. Two missed field goals on my part (they were on, but wide), and I couldn't get the running game moving at all.

So I've been away from the series the past few years. Any quick tips for recruiting?

So I'm 4-0 in 4 games of my offline Kentucky dynasty. I did some rescheduling and I've defeated Louisville, Middle Tennessee St., Cincinnati, and Western Kentucky. I've dominated most games and thankfully the AI didn't punish me for my *4* INT's in the Cincy game. I won that one 28-7.

Still too many defensive TD's for my taste. And the punt coverage is still not so hot. I made some slider adjustments which has helped the kickoff coverage some (I can usually stop them by the 30 though sometimes they get to the 40 or 50).

The dynasty is going okay so far. I have a legit shot at landing the #1 overall player. He's a SS from Kentucky and highly values location. We'll see how things progress. I'm in the top 3 for most of my recruits. I went after 3-stars for 2/3 of them and 4-stars for the other 1/3. We'll see how things pan out.

I'm gonna break for a bit then try and play a game in my SEC schedule. I open at Alabama. I could seriously go 3-5 in SEC play by losing to the teams that are rated better than I am. It's a scary thing. Hopefully this offline dynasty will get me ready for my online one. I fully expect to lose to UGA, LSU, and Florida. Hopefully I can sneak out wins at Alabama and maybe maybe maybe Tennessee. Best case scenario I'm 8-4 or 9-3 (4-4 or 5-3 in the SEC). Hopefully I can make it to a new year's day bowl at least.

In the offline dynasty, it let me adjust my schedule before the season. Online leagues may want to take that into consideration when setting up their leagues. Personally, I just want to get the FCS teams off my schedule. I swapped out FCS Crap for Cincy and had a much better game than winning 68-7 vs some non-existent team.

That's my ramble :)

Figured out how to upload. I'll post a couple of videos in a few.

Here is a short TD Run Early in the game:





And then...


1:11 left in the 4th quarter. I am up (UVA) 14-7. 4th and goal for BigDPW:

I agree, the PS 3 version already seems a lot than last year and 60 FPS make a huge difference. I will hopefully get to play a couple more games tonight....

Do we have anything going for FOFC PS3 players?

Just finished one up with SirF. It was a good game all the way through. I will get highlights up in a minute.

Big play here for Fozzie with all the time in the world to find someone open:





Just when things were about to get worse for us as Fozzie was driving down to score. A couple minutes still left in the game but then this happens:






The clincher, with one minute to go, 3rd and 4 we decide to do a little play action.. and it works:





While it would seem that I pulled out a lucky win, Fozzie also had a pick-six and a freak play where I for some reason decided to catch a punt in the endzone, he hits me, I fumble, he lands on it in the endzone, touchdown him. Silly but we were able to overcome.

Aight. One more game :)

I created an FOFC room if anyone wants to play. Trout is the password.

I was a good game! I just couldn't stop him. 4 yds, 7 yds, 5 yds. I also made my constant error of throwing a pick in the red zone!!

Here are a couple of highlights.

Sweet KR TD.







And another KR TD





And a Int Ret on a 2pt. Conv.

Another good game. I struggled to figure out your plays, but I made a slight adjustment that turned the game in my favor.
Here is the INT highlight that sealed the win.

How do you embed them here?

you have to copy and paste the WHOLE THING.. you click in the lower window and it says "Copied" just paste that whole thing into your message

Wow. Just had a barn-burner at Alabama (as Kentucky) on my dynasty. I won 51-48 in 3 OT's. It was a really fun and exciting game. I just wish that the passing game was actually defendable. It's almost impossible to stop...and I was just playing Alabama. I dread to think what will happen when I play LSU/Florida/Georgia.

Anyway, I iced the AI kicker as time expired in regulation. He pushed the game-winning FG wide right to force OT. Holy cow that was crazy. I won in the 3rd OT when my CB picked off Wilson's first pass. When I had the ball back, my HB ran it up the middle for 15 yards. Then I kicked a 27-yard FG to win the game.

Improve the kick coverage and the pass defense and I think NCAA 09 would be pretty sweet. I haven't had exciting games like this on a console video game in many many years. Hopefully I'm still playing it like this come November.

Hmm. Galaxy and I just lost a connection. It was a real close game too. I was up 6-0, but he was about to kick a gimme FG. :(

If there is, that might push me to picking this up.

Man. Things aren't going well on the technical side tonight for me and Galaxy. :(

I got a 360 and NCAA! I'm gonna be around later tonight if any night owls wanna play a game. Is there a list of all FOFC gamertags anywhere? How do we find each other?

Foz and I just had an epic 2OT game between Texas and Auburn. He tied it up as regulation expired. We each got a FG in the first OT, with him starting the second OT off with a TD. I almost tied it right back up on the first play, but his DB made a great play. The game ended when I threw behind the receiver on 3rd down, and he made the pick.

Earlier in the game, we each had 90+ yard passes. I had a 99 yarder where my receiver just blew by his cover man, and he got a 96 yarder where my DB tipped it, and his guy grabbed the tip and was off to the races.

What a FUCKING game. Best Game of NCAA I've ever played

Texas At Auburn.

1:32 to play, Auburn up 4, 47 yard FG to try to increase the lead to seven... JUST under the bar.

Texas comes back with a couple miracle plays (Jump Ball into coverage?) and scores a 1 yard rushing TD to take the lead with :26 to play.

KO gets a good return due to a couple broken tackles, to about my own 45.

Pass over the middle gets about 20, and Auburn uses its last time out with 0:15 to play.

Next play, thrown to the receiver on the out route, sprints for the sideline, texas defender in hot pursuit..... steps out at the 25 with :09 to play.

One Long Bomb attempt to the endzone.. incomplete. :04 to play.

42 yard FG for the tie............ GOOOOOOOOOOODDD!!!! We're going to OT.

Texas gets the ball first and goes three and out, but hits their FG.

Auburn gets a first down, but a sack makes it 4th and 17 from the 17 1/2. Here comes the kicker.. this time Cartman ices my kicker to make it harder (It's on a side hash mark so it's not straight on, either).

To extend the game to a 2nd OT... GOOOOOOODDDD!

Auburn scores in four plays in 2nd ot.. Cartman steps back to throw.. picked! Game Over. Auburn Wins!

It sucked too. It kind of froze for a sec as I was inside the 5 on a 3rd down and in the middle of a run.

Galaxy and I had a glitch-filled night. Our first game was 6-0 when we lost connection as Galaxy set up for a gimme FG. The next game my controller stopped working and more technical problems ensued. Eventually, we did actually get to finish. Here was the highlight of the game:

Final was 27-13 (I tried for a two point conservation at the end). I look forward to a re-match (I would love a Michigan State vs. Indiana game-two 79 rated teams). One thing I know, I need to dump the Mississippi St. playbook.

I'm glad you we're able to understand me most of the time. Considering that my mouth is wired shut (was suppose have surgery yesterday to get them out, damn airline) and my speech difficulties, it went well. I just wanted to let you fellows know this if we talk.

I must say, this is one of the best things in gaming in a long time. The combination of this game (which is pretty solid with a few small bugs), the community, the offerings of the dynasty modes, it can't be beat.

Check the NCAA Online dynasties forum in the Dynasties forum. At the top of the thread, you'll find the handles of 24 players at least.

You know it was a rather boring and conservative game when the play of the game is a hit. :)

Yeah, it was fun, barring the glitches. Although the game seemed to be out to screw you in our second game. Whereas in the first game, you had been pretty much dominating me except for bogging down in the red zone.

Well, I missed a field goal (my weak spot, I can't get my accuracy right for whatever damn reason-I'll try another team and see if it's a kicker thing, or if I'm the Shaq of FG's) in that first game as well.

If anyone's up and wants a quick game, hit me up: gamertag is eroy486

Absolutely. I meant to include them in my post and forgot.

I played last night with a buddy of mine that is pretty darned good at Madden/NCAA.

He showed me just how bad the pass defense AI is. He completed every single pass with a dink-and-dunk strategy that just drove me crazy.

Okay I must be an idiot... I have tried to copy the embed code from my videos with no success... I can't get the actual vid to show up in my previewed post only a red X and code...

Any advice on how to get the vids to show up?

wade and I had a good game last night... I kept up my streak of lots of untimely picks too... yippee for me!

There's a copy button you can use (instead of manually copying the code). Have you used that?

Yeah I tried the copy button and clicking in the box to copy... It selects all the text but then when I post it here it looks like this...



http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/C...49Jmc9MQ==.jpg" />

This isn't good news. And the fact that 2 days after the release there are still ZERO reviews on gamerankings while the other versions have several. Smells of a bad game to me. I was a little optimistic after some people on the NCAA forum on operation were saying decent things about it.

New tactic, convincing the wife I need a PS3 two months after buying the Wii. This should go over well. :rolleyes:

I always been curious, do you see other when they zoom out (to look at the plays), change your guys, and that stuff when your at the line?

Threaten to withhold sex from her. That'll keep her in line.

Can you re-word this question in english?

Interesting stuff, a guy at OPS started to test sliders, to end affirming that CPU sliders do nothing and that Human sliders affect both Human and CPU. For example, lowering Human QB accuracy, makes the CPU completion % to go down but also makes way harder for Human QB's to throw deep with accuracy. Same about rushing sliders etc.

EA rep in OPS forums passed it to their QA team and they have "almost" confirmed it:

From EA rep: "QA department thinks that the CPU Sliders just don't work at all. The HUM sliders affect both User and CPU"

Link to the original thread (7 pages long):
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...y-sliders.html

I think he is asking if the other online player sees your play art when you take a look at it on your TV. The answer is no.


Also, several industrious people over on OS have done some good extensive testing of sliders and made an important discovery. The Human sliders at least for offense are controlling both the Human and CPU settings. The CPU offensive sliders do nothing. The developer on OS has reported that EA testers have confirmed (or nearly confirmed) this and thinks that actually none of the CPU sliders work and they are all being controlled by the human slider. However, the OS testers who I trust more believe that defensive sliders work normally on both sides.

As a result of this finding, a guy over there has produced a slider set that is getting some early very positive feedback including generating more pass rush on both sides (he has human pass blocking down to 25.) He has human QB accuracy at 40 which is lowering QB percentages some as well. I think I'll probably try an even lower QB accuracy setting.

All of you MBBF fans should check out my parody in this thread...

http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...ad.php?t=66438

Probably not as good as some of you guys could have done but I tried... And I enjoyed it!

I thought it was hilarious :)

Hehe Eaglesfan, i beat you to it :D

Btw, i guess now that this has been ahppening at least for past year too, and that is why there was no way to have good sliders past year, only human ones work and affect both CPU and human.

I must admit that past year i played mainly Campus legend and noticed that HUM sliders where the ones affecting it all, but always thought it was because the Campus legend mode.

Yep. We must have read it around the same time. :D


Also, I thought this might have been happening last year as well, but I never put forth the testing of it. Shrug. They have some convincing tests this year and at least we can work with that, even if it means it is going to be more difficult to beef up the CPU running game without unbalancing the human run game. Other than that, I'm looking forward to dropping WR catching, QB accuracy, and Pass blocking tomorrow evening when I can next play and working with that.

If you're talking about looking at your opponent's play art, it doesn't show up. Only you can see it.

The eye candy was just as important as the message. :)

Thanks. I wasn't exactly sure how to write that.

That sounds rather positive. Do you have a link?

Icy put a link to the whole thread in his post which is right above mine.

The slider set is towards the end of the whole discussion about the sliders and the issues with them.

I can't do anything lately. Must be one of those weeks.

I was having this problem yesterday.

Go into your control panel
open Edit options
change settings at the bottom in misc options to standard editing.

This fixed it for me.

I'd recommend even trying 35 for QB accuracy. I went with that yesterday and could still throw it a good 40 yards or so and was seeing better results. Also be sure to drop WR catching for both teams. You can go pretty low on that without seeing excessive drops.

Just opened the game, popped it in and played my first game. I got my ass kicked. IT WAS AWESOME! :D

I haven't played a console football game in years, that is by far the best football game I have ever played on a console. I think everyone should take a few years off of sports games since everyone demands perfection now.

I was WSU, against Idaho. Yes I lost 55-32. It was close for a while and then I started feeling more comfortable with the controls and then had me doing stupid things. I threw 3 INTs with adjusted sliders, and they were just crap passes. Really crap passes. With the sliders adjusted how a saw in the OS thread I have no complaints about that game. Now I just need to learn all those damn controls....

Anybody up for a game? I'll chill in the FOFC lobby room, password trout, just in case. I'm gamertag BVest1121.

I had NCAA 09 PS3 in my hand, was walking to the checkout with it and another game because of an e-mail coupon that has $10 off if you spend $75 or more on video games and/or video game accessories.

Then I thought, "This is stupid. I'll probably never play it enough to justify the price tag, I'm sure something about the game will piss me off and while I like Playstation Online's freeness, not many FOFCers will have the PS3 version, certainly not enough for an online league and I'm not going to pay per month for an XBox Live Gold to play the 360 version."

So I took both games back. I've got a week to mull over it yet.

I opened the lobby room up. If you go in there and I don't answer I'm going to be in and out doing stuff around the house while no one is around to play.

I have created the room again.

Damnit, I wanna go home and play.. at least I can go home in (checks clock).. 6 and 1 half hours? CRAP.

Where's the FOFC PS3 room?!? :)

:crickets: :(

**chirp**


**chirp-chirp**






**chirp**

Wade Moore and I just wrapped a game. My California Golden Bears beat his Virginia Cavaliers 23-14. Each side had a pick six, and I held off a late rally by Wade to get the win. Good first game. Thanks, Wade!

It's hard switching over from the old PS2 control system to the current one I've found, running the ball especially. It's only been a few games though so I'll get used to it.


My PS3 and router don't get along, I don't get it. PC, Wii, and DS all connect without any troubles but whatever I try fails with the PS3. Once I get it all figured out I'll be in for some online games.

You'll all be chirping when you get your RRODs!

(only reason I got mine on the PS3 - kids play the 360 almost every day)

I paused early in the game because I think I want to use my Freshman QB in the Dynasty.

I put him in and really struggled with how differently he threw than my other guy.

Good game - you're quite good for not having played online before.

Still waiting for play-asia to get their copies to ship out. :(

Thanks Mike... Here are the pics and vids I wanted to show off...

Random Pics:





From my game (NCSU) vs. Wade (UVA)










From my game at ECU (vs. AI)

I have to say it again, the deep ball is so much better in this years version.....Here's a nice touch pass - Hall to Collie.

Well now. We got our internet going today as well as the game. Unfortunately, in the only two online games I've played I've gotten the dirty disc error both times.

I am sure we can get at least 8 for a dynasty, I would hope. A couple of my buddies have PS 3's if we need people to fill it out.

Had a fun game with Wade earlier tonight. Unfortunately we lost connection with about 20 seconds left to go in the game. The game was no longer in doubt, luckily.

Good game Wade.

But I have to say the pick 6's and the coverage in this game are out of control. In the game there were 2 INTs returned for TDs and 2 kickoffs returned for TDs as well (and those happened back-to-back, on by wade and then one immediately by me).

I have it for PS3. I might be able to play in a league.

Hmmm, can't seem to get it to post. Oh well.

Anyone up for a game right now?
:cool:

I think you guys sold me on the game. I love the ability to upload videos of the game.

Quick question though. Do you need to link your gamertag to your EA account to do this with the videos? I've never been able to link the two as EA's website is about as inadequete as it gets. I guess since I had a classic EA account it is all screwed up and their support is about as good as most of their games these days.

In any event, the video part has sold me on this but just want to make sure I'd be able to actually use it.

I should receive the PS3 version later today (with luck) or tomorrow, as DHL tracking website says it's already in Spain (shipped from Canada).

The problem is that i'm on holidays right now, so i have the PS3 here but not connected to the net and won't be back at home until mid August or so. Once i'm back at home i'll search for you guys to play online. In the mean time i'll play mainly Campus Legend that is my fav mode.

yeah, I didn't fully grasp the pausing situation, it being my first time and all. I thought maybe I had paused it on accident, so I hit "resume" and then it started counting down. I felt bad because I imagine you had something to tend to, but then I hit it started counting down and you had to let your wife girlfriend carry in the groceries by herself. Ha. Anyhow..yeah it was fun playing you. You are a quality opponent.

I'll be around until about 4 pacific standard time tomorrow (today) if anyone would be willing to give me a game. I want to break Stanford in and see if I have any hope in hell of being competitive with them against a non-CPU adversary.

Test.

Yes, you must link your gamertag to your EA account. I only tried this a year ago, and it went very smoothly for me.

For those that are interested, here's a pretty good list of the gameplay issues that have been discovered in the game.

http://blog.digitalsportspage.com/

Congrats Missou. You are the newest member of my ignore list.

Yeah. I have the freshman QB set as the starter on my machine, but it doesn't translate to Online Play apparently - unless maybe it's because you started the game. Idano, but either way - it was confusing. I thought about using the mic to explain, but figured with you not having one it would be a pain in the ass.

Thanks for fixing the thread, SkyDog!

Played a good game and a half vs. Mike last night... We made it to the 2nd half with me up 6-0 (NCSU vs UNC) and the servers booted us both but neither of us lost our connection with Live?

2nd game was a good one. Same teams. I ended up going up 13-7 on a 2nd half TD. Mike had a chance to win it with a throw to the endzone with 22 secs left and I picked it in the endzone...

Great opponent. We both nust need to work on our touch/lob passed on corner routes and fly routes. We each had a couple of times where we had players free behind the D and just didn't lob it up enough and a LB or Safety short of them knocked it down.

Here are some highlights...

Big Screen pass with a juke em...



A sweet INT return where my LB was able to lateral to a CB prior to the end of the play... I really thought I might break it from the default view...




Pic of my INT to seal the game.

This video pretty much sums up my night. I was terrible, and HA definitely had himself a good night. The video is actually from a different ass-kicking. I assume HA will post some from our game momentarily. Lotsa highlights on his side. My highlight was scoring a late TD to avoid the offensive shutout.

GG, HA.

These pictures and videos could make for an awesome dynasty.

EF27 did something like that with last year's version if I remember correctly.

And so much more about the game seems to be very realistic and right on. These games will never be perfect, as I have said before if they could be then someone would have put out that perfect game by now. I understand not liking EA, I don't like them which is why I blinked and noticed I had not bought or played a console football game in 3-4 years.

With that said, after two games (moved the sliders to match the ones EF27 pointed out yesterday before I even played one game) I love the game and am ready to dive into a career game I think. This is the best console football game I have ever played. Could it be better? Sure, so could every other game though as well.

CLIPPING! (1st video right after the INT)

I can certainly understand your situation. I played WWSM05 for three years before finally upgrading to WWSM08. It was obviously a wonderful surprise regarding how much had been added over those three years. What you're playing now is a vast upgrade over what you played previously.

I have no problem with people enjoying the game. It's all up to the individual in the end. What I have a major problem with is the fact that this development team goes out every year and tells us that they've 'listened to the users' and 'addressed the previous AI issues' and 'fixed the bugs'. The testing team is NOT doing a good job at all on this game and they should be called out for it. Check out this quote from over at the OS forums from the EA developer:


Are you f'n KIDDING ME???? What kind of test plan was in place that would miss sliders that were obviously broken???? The consumer deserves better if they're going to plop down $60 each and every year for the game. My beef is with EA, not with anyone buying the game. If there wasn't an exclusive license, people would have other choices, but they don't.

No clipping!! Initial contact was made in the front ;)

The talent discrepancy between Indiana and Florida probably didn't help.

Yeah. I've been sticking with Indiana regardless of the opponent. Sometimes I've been able to win, sometimes it has ended badly. I was actually winning at the half, but then things went to hell, with two return TDs and a 99-yard run that came on the play after the video shown above. So instead of me getting the TD that I was inches away from, my opponent got a TD. That was the backbreaker.

Just opened up fofc/trout for anyone looking to play.
