I feel that there needs to be more post play continuation. The game cuts to the playcall screen so quick after each play and it feels like the game is rushing you to call play after play. I wish we can have more than a few seconds seeing players interact as they are getting up and walking to the huddle. I don't mean constant celebration, high fives, or show boating antics, just simply moving to a huddle, wiping hands clean, adjusting equipment, and more.

I believe the guy hit the wrong button the pitch. I have to check out the no footprints.

After watching these videos and Maddens, it seems like Madden is getting the greater improvements in my opinion except for the multiple years in online dynasty.

Do you all think maybe the "Powers that Be" asked the NCAA developers to keep improvements to a minimal, because of the backlash of sales on Madden last year?

I'm pretty sure the IGN guy was pressing buttons. Other videos showed the post play action alot longer. Guys helping each other up and guys getting into shoving matches. IGN makes all sports games look terrible. I never watch their videos expecting anything good, lol. The guy pitched the ball outta nowhere and also went for it on 4 and 5. SMH.

Re: full drive video BYU vs BC on IGN

There was nothing wrong with that video gameplay wise(except for the known issues). Everything looked decent.

But that's the problem. Nothing stood out to me....it just seemed a little boring. The TD catch was nice and caught my eye a little bit, but nothing else really kept me engaged.

Thank god for online dynasties though!

Re: full drive video BYU vs BC on IGN

1) That was the best gameplay video for NCAA yet. Hands down. Although that pitch was silly and seemed to be an accidental button tap (it still shouldn't warp to an OL).

2) The playbooks definitely were upgraded. There were several plays that I noticed that were in last-gen '08 (Mesh, Shallow Cross, PA Dagger, etc)

3) Someone on the sticks at IGN was mashing buttons at the end of the play to speed up the game for the video. No biggie there although I would like to see the post-play continuation as well.

4) Tackling seems improved.

5) As ODogg stated earlier, the snow finally doesn't look like I am playing on a pillow.

I'm still excited! 2 months away fellas! Call me Captain Positive Thinking right about now!

No. Although Madden has been awful, I don't believe this to be true.

Not only that but the snow game actually just looks cold...if they only had foot prints, sliding around and variable snow then we'd be sitting pretty.

Hey OSers,

On that play, for some wacky reason, the running back pitched the ball to the right tackle!! Why? I don't know!! Why wasn't there a penalty called? I don't know that either!! I didn't jump in and say anything because I didn't wanna make Herstreit look like a complete moron for missing the call. Hope this gives you guys a clear picture of what happened. Hey!! As for the snow, we didn't wanna steal Madden's thunder.


Sincerely,


Lee Corso
