    NCAA 2009

        NCAA 2009 will provide solid, college football for the saturday fan. With a solid Dynasty mode (Online as well) as well as a Campus Legend mode that allows the player to play as one superstar. The game has a few flaws. Bugs in the game leave a player clueless. I once missed a field goal and got three points for it. As well as the fact that during Campus Legend mode, there are no night games. Atmosphere is what makes College Football what it is, and the absence of Saturday Night Showdowns during Campus Legend is irritating. 

        Online competition is entertaining, Dynasty mode is buggy, and very time consuming to upload the dynasty file with each passing week of the season. Also absent are coaches on the sideline, and football teams entering the field before the game, also part of the pageantry of NCAA football. 
        The commentators little catch phrases are redundant and after a while downright annoying. I'm sorry Brad Nessler, but I'm sick of hearing you talk crap about my decision to go for it on 4th and 22. 
        The game receives three and half stars for solid gameplay, with a few bugs, and the absence of atmospheric components that make college football the spectacle that it has become.

      NCAA Football 09(Xbox 360) by wafe on July 22, 2008

      NCAA 09 is the game college football fans have been waiting for. Electronic Arts has finally delivered a next gen college game worth 60$. It also brings one of the most realistic stadium simulations ever in a football game. This combined with a new animation system and a fully realized online franchise mode make this a must own for every college football fan. The first aspect of NCAA that grabs your attention is the variety of new animations in the game. These animations seem to procedurally gen...
