Title: NCAA 09 Review
Chris Glass - July 20, 2008 12:59 AM (GMT)
Big improvement from last year. All the added features like mini games, uploading highlights, and others are very nice.
The graphics and sounds are a lot better from last year. The game seems much more fun. Online play is great. You can download rosters so you have your actual team. Dynasty is great, I haven't checked out online dynasty yet, so I can't comment on it yet. Campus Legend is really cool. I like how you start out in the high school ranks and get recruited. You can also have custom sound tracks. Mascot games are always fun too.
All in all, this game is very good, and is worth checking out. I give it an 8.5/10.

I tried renting it today and checked the game rack and it wasn't there. Then I waited forever to see if they had it behind the counter and they didn't so I think I'll just buy it.

Well worth it.

There are tons of people on other forums complaining about bugs and game freezes and that the online dynasty quits on them after a little, but I've never had one lock up or any problem really. Chris do you want to do an online dynasty? If you want to then I can start one up/you start one up.

Yea, I'll do my recruiting when I get back from the gun store.

Cool deal, I had a brain malfunction because at first I had you as Florida ROFL. I was like omg sh*t and changed your team to the correct one. I did my recruiting, I just went for the highest interest guys. Most were 2 stars but w/e.

Got it about an hour ago and am loving it.

I knew you would.

online dynasty is good so far, very well setup. I'm 2-0 but I almost lost to Houston because of my horrible defense. Chris is 1-0 after a 94-0 stomping of a Division 2 team lol.

i got it for my PSP and its not at all good in my opinion (at least for the PSP version). the 360 and the Ps3 are probally awesome. Anyone got it for Wii?
Pete - July 23, 2008 02:45 PM (GMT)
just wondering, how many passing yards per game do guys usually get?

I get alot, I usually have over 400 but I don't have a running game at all using Oklahoma State so I don't really have anything else to do but pass.
I checked the online dynasty stats, I have 377 yards with Robinson in 5 quarters. (was injured 2nd-4th in first game) and 150 with Cate in the 2nd-4th where Robinson was injured. I had 250+ in the first half of game 2 but got owned in the 2nd half. :angry:
Chris Glass - July 23, 2008 05:52 PM (GMT)
I run an equal pass run game so I'll have like 200 rushing yards with Moreno, and like 250 passing with Stafford.
hamma77 - July 23, 2008 06:01 PM (GMT)
I beat FCS Midwest 105-6 lol. I'm 3-0 and still not ranked, damn the bcs.
Aaron - July 23, 2008 09:19 PM (GMT)
I put up 90 on a team, but only played in 3 quarters with my player at OU. I ussually get over 300 yards with my QB and can spread the ball so easily with the offense I have.
It got to the point where my RB was beating me in the Heisman vote so I stopped letting him run and threw to him less lol.
Chris Glass - July 24, 2008 04:50 AM (GMT)
I have Asher Allen CB in the Heisman running, I use him for KR/PR and get almost 350 yards a game returning, not to mention what I get on defense.
So far I survived my first SEC showdown with South Carolina, it gets even uglier now:
Alabama
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
LSU
Florida
Kentucky
Auburn
The BCS computers will love this strength of schedule.

Woo, Today on the online dynasty I beat Missouri (#4 5-0) 38-28. I finally got ranked and now I should be well into the top 15 maybe even 10 after that win. I got a tough schedule though to finish.

Texas took the lead on me 20-14 in the 2nd quarter lol, In the 4th I was leading 45-20 :). The final score was 45-27 though, but woo 7-0. Ranked #6 now but with Florida's loss I should be in the top 5 easily if I can beat Iowa State.

I'm aggraveted.
I just looked it up, Madden and NCAA have a whole hellav-a-lot better soundtracks then the Nascar games have had in past years.
Aaron - July 30, 2008 11:14 AM (GMT)
You can upload your own tracks on some of the ps3 games, not sure about this one haven't looked yet.
Jeff French - July 30, 2008 01:41 PM (GMT)
I just have my ipod plugged into my 360 when I play 09 anyways.
but still, I like seeing the PR for the bands. I just wish they were on the games I play :(

No sh*t, that's because EA nascar games suck 100000 ballz. Only morons waste money on that crap, sorry but it's true. You guys that buy that game are fanboy suckers tbh.
