Well, I decided not to buy 08 after owning 07, which means I will
definitely be buyin 09 (unless they take a few steps back, which I
doubt).
But I decided to gamefly the 08 version. So, if anyone wants a practice match against a newbie, I am game. Plus, I got it because I am in another achievement whore competition (winner gets one year free to XBL gold), so if anyone wants to indulge me when I get it ...... Plus I am looking forward to see if there is going to be an 09 league going later this year. |

I can almost guarantee that there will be an NCAA 09 league this summer. What nights and times are you available this week for a game?

If you see me on (bdosg) I can play.
By the way, since you admitted to being an achievement whore, a little FYI. Play 15 minute quarters Use USC and play against Buffalo or Temple Simulate the entire game - this can now be done in-game pile up amazing stats get lots of achievements Unless one of the patches fixed this any achievement gained through a simulation will count. |

Decisions, decisions.
OK, I am past the achievement whoring portion of my week. With 5 days left to go, the leader in the competition (I sh*t you not) has racked up 5000 achievement points in 9 days!!! I am in fifth with about 800, although I saw early on it was a lost cause. So now, what do I do? I find myself enjoying NCAA 08, despite the fact that I have 07 and plan on buying 09. Do I just keep it for another week or so or should I buy it from Gamefly, even though 09 comes out in 4 months? The buy price is 27.99 and I have 5 bucks in coupons. Guess I will try playing in dynasty mode and see how I feel after a few games before I decide. It won't matter much once Rainbow Six and GTA come out though. Plus if they ever patch MLB. Damn, too many games, not enough time. I thought post-Xmas was supposed to be a slowdown! |

That's a tough choice. NCAA 08 is a very good game and is still popular among Brent, Ted and myself. I wouldn't be shocked if EA took a step back with 09 either.

If EA takes a step back 08 will be even cheaper then.

EA will not take a step back with NCAA09
EA will not take a step back with NCAA09 EA will not take a step back with NCAA09 <---------- Daydream believer but not the homecoming queen You only have around 4 months until 09 comes out. Just thought I would add that into the equation. |

Nah, I might get strong this time and resist the temptation. I see myself keeping it for at least a week or two to finish off a dynasty with my favorite college team though (USC, and no I am not one of those just getting on the bandwagon - I have been a fan of theirs since 1972). One thing I notice is that this version of the game is taxing on my 360. It seems to be constantly pulling data from the disc. I hope it is only because I got a bad copy, 'cause otherwise my console is dying again. |
