Yes thats what I meant.

Adam, can rivalry trophies be won and lost from a users profile in online games. NCAA 2005 had this feature, but was subsequently taken out. I thought is was pretty cool and gave us motivation to try teams we normally wouldn't.

Thanks for the time and thanks for answering questions from people that love playing this game.

OMG yes I loved that feature!

I got a somewhat related question - Is there an achievement or game mode that rewards you for using all teams in the game and then a secondary one for winning with all teams in the game?

I remember playing the heck out of the game back on the PS2 simply trying to play a game with all 119 teams and then after that playing a TON just to try to get a win with all of them (Miami U was my last team, must have taken 5 tries to get a win with them for some odd reason).

Adam who is incharge of online play? Will the records and levels for online play in ncaa 09 be reset this year? ncaa 08 online lost alot of its better players when the ranks were reset on ncaa 08 but not reset on madden 08. Are there seperate teams for the ncaa online vs. the madden online? One rumor I had was that ncaa always get the previous version of madden servers.

Yeah I know. That sort of make the "Everything you can do offline you can do online" not exactly correct. But he did say he's not sure so we'll see.

Also: If there isn't a change job/ get fired scenario we can at least change teams if we want according to one of the Online Dynasty pdf's.

"The User Coach's and Teams screen allows the commissioner to add/remove
members of the dynasty and change existing member’s teams with the same
functionality that was used when initially creating the dynasty."

that would be terrible, it was always interesting to see new coaching opportunities at the end of each year. I was really hoping to start as bad teams in an online dynasty and receive coaching jobs from larger schools.
