NCAA Football 09 - PlayStation 2

Model: 15407
SKU: 8838252
UPC: 014633154078
SynopsisThe air is alive with the energy of the roaring crowd. The sidelines are in constant motion — from your position on the field, you can see the antics of your team mascot, the shaking pom-poms of the cheerleaders and even the eager, restless pacing of your fellow players. Sweat creeps down the back of your neck as your adrenaline spikes in anticipation of the snap. You go wide and the ball hits your hands like a missile. Now your feet are eating up yards as you push yourself harder than you've ever done before. The din of the stadium falls away as you focus with single-minded determination. The bowl hopes of your team rest on this play. Will you make it? All the heart-pounding action and grueling strategy of college football come alive in NCAA Football 09. The authentic college-style gameplay features bigger holes, cutback lanes and open receivers that make the game feel more wide open than ever. Live the real-life college football experience with new mini game components that will give you a deeper appreciation for home field advantage. Preplay confusion and difficulty making adjustments are what you face when on the road. Experience all the excitement and pageantry of the true college atmosphere with an all-new dynamic crowd system, authentic fields with new textures, lighting and field degradation, customizable stadium sounds and music, breakaway crowd reactions and more. Better passing control, quick replay, play-by-play commentary and more will immerse you in the heady thrill and relentless momentum of the game as you join your favorite college football teams on the field.

What's great about it: graphics are good, spring drills mode
What's not so great: Gameplay
I got this as a gift after playing NCAA 2006 for the last three years. I didn't get 07 because of bad reviews, and never got around to buyin 08 after enjoying my current version so much. The game play in this edition of the game is awful. There are way too many penalties called (I know this can be adjusted but it shouldn't have to be), the players seem like they are in slow motion compared to the older version, and it is way too easy to throw deep and way too hard to run. This is what I liked so much about the 06 NCAA compared to previous years, and compared to Madden, and with this game EA went back to the same old stuff. Also, during pre-snap comparisons of player abilities, you can only see skill players and not linemen. So, you basically have no idea if it is an advantage to run to one side or the other, or audible out of or into a play based on lineman matchups. It is mostly a fun game to play, it just is not nearly as good in game play as the 2006 version. And I play in the Dynasty mode so I don't care about current rosters.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Dynasty Mode, Create your own schedule, Create your own player for all aspects of the student athlete
What's not so great: NONE
This is an incredible game. I love the fact that you can create your own player, work on getting recruited by top colleges, then not only play your games in college, but also determine your major, what to do in your spare time, etc. This is definitely worth purchasing!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Even more control in Dynasty Mode
What's not so great: None that I can see
Go even further in depth with the Dynasty Mode. Gameplay gets better and better every year. EA continues to make a great game better every year. This is just the thing I needed as I wait for college football to begin at the end of August. It is fun to play in any of the different game modes or to take one of your friends on. This year they have added family play to allow those who were a little hesitant in the past to take on such an in depth game to get a taste of the action. I highly recommend this game. I rushed out at Midnight the day before it was released to purchase it and was not at all disappointed with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!
