I’ve just received word that the demo for NCAA Football 09 is expected to be out on Thursday June 19th for both the PS3 and 360.

The demo will feature a rematch of the National Championship with Ohio State vs LSU. Also included will be a mascot game featuring the Gators vs Longhorns. Both will be on varsity difficulty with two minute quarters.

Damn you EA.

EA Sports World won’t have online dynasty component

June 10, 2008 by pastapadre No Comments »

Only a day after the launch of the upgraded EA Sports World comes disappointing news. In late April NCAA Football 09 producer Ben Haumiller had an interview with Gametap where he talked about the game and added the following information about online dynasty.

“Our full stat tracking that goes in for dynasty will be in the online version,” Haumiller explains, “and we’re also working with EA Sports World to get our stats displayed on the Web as well. You’re going to be able to see your Top 25 lists, your Heisman results and so forth up on EA Sports World.


Unfortunately confirmation has come today that nothing to do with your online dynasty will be hosted on EA Sports World. This also carries over to Madden 09’s online leagues, where there very well may be no web component, essentially rendering them worthless to a large group of people.

This was one of the things I was really looking forward to. Being able to browse all that information on the web at any time is much more appealing than doing it on the console. I would’ve spent much more time doing so on the computer, and this will likely lead to somewhat of a drop in online dynasty related activity and interest, and would severely hurt the appeal of the Madden leagues. So it appears that NCAA will only get the video and screenshot uploading out of EASW, which feels like a letdown after having a full year to prepare something new.

I played a few minutes before I left for work and the player control is much more responsive than 08. I'm anxious to play some more tonight.

Once we get the Nascar stuff settled and running we should start talking about what kind of season we want to have with NCAA. 

1.  Continue with the MAC style season like last year.

2.  Go back to the original like 06 (teams from different divisions).

3.  Come up with something new.

Good to know Jason, I skipped out on last year's NCAA game so I'm intrigued by NCAA 09, I'll be eager to try the demo out when I can.

Played around with the demo for awhile today.  The last version I bought was 07 and my first thought was, is this the best they could do after 2 years off?  But after playing it, I have to admit it felt better and definitely looked better.  Plus, I am in the minority but I love the mascot play - I loved it NCAA 0? (can't remember, but it was a regular xbox title).  Something about seeing a gator doing a fist pump that was exciting!

I got a chance to play a full demo game and came away very impressed with the player control and ball physics. EA wanted to bring the last-gen (PS2) gameplay to this version and it really shows. The player control is very responsive, as is switching players. It almost reminds me of the player control in the 2K series. It also feels faster (in a good way) than 08 and the new right-stick movements are as good as advertised. 

The passing game feels much improved too. The ball had a "heavy" feel to it in 08 and it's much easier to control the touch on the ball this year.

The graphics are slightly improved, but the lighting is much better this year. The grass textures look much better too and they added some new animations.

Only 3.5 more weeks until this is released Thumbs%20Up.

I just wish they would include 1-AA teams.  I follow Holy Cross and there was once a day when they were considered a legitimate team (I saw Doug Flutie play at HC, my father saw Jimmy Brown play with Syracuse way back when at HC...

I wished they had I-AA teams too Bastille, I know they a few years back, leave it to EA to actually take out features in a game.
