ncaa 09

[shaun4411]

anyone as excited as me?

http://www.operationsports.com/images/u/media/1211574665-media.jpeg

i think it'd be a really nice slap in the face to the ncaa if the game makers had a playoff for its post-season instead of the current bcs system. im sure there are some contractual things involved in that, but it would just be cool.

[tommieharris91]

That's not Boone Pickens Stadium. There isn't enough red in the stands.

[shaun4411]

talk about the most unpopular cover of all time

[TopDawg]

I don't know if I'm as excited as you, but I'm looking forward to it.

[Pricetag]

talk about the most unpopular cover of all time
Yeah, this would have been a great year for another "great player of the past" cover like they had with Desmond Howard for NCAA 2006.

I don't have a PS3 yet, so I'm not terribly fired up this year. I don't know if I'll even pick it up for PS2 or not. To tell the truth, I'm more fired up about Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for Nintendo DS.

[shaun4411]

ya, tecmo bowl is cool.

ill have it on ps3. i modded my ps2 so i can just have all my games on a hd and it play it off that. i have a friend who will buy the game, and ill just copy it. works out well for me!

[soonerinabilene]

I downloaded a demo from xbox live last weekend. You can play a full game, but only as LSU vs OSU. Aside from having to use two suckass teams, I thought it was great. Gameplay is definitely much improved over last years game.

[NormanPride]

Get it for the Wii and waggle to pump up the crowd!

[dolemitesooner]

I of course will get it at midnight, and I will be a slave to the game.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've also got a PS2 but thinking about getting a PS3. However, I don't know if I want to spring for one just yet; I might prefer to wait and get it in the spring when MLB: The Show '09 comes out and just buy NCAA on PS2 for one more year.

[silverwheels]

My interest level in this game has gone down each year since 05.

[Mixer!]

Agreed, it looks more like Holder's wet dream.

Boone obviously has the EA programmers on his payroll. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8338/pickens2pk7xj4.gif

[shaun4411]

i wish EA sports would make another MLB baseball game instead of the college stuff. EA makes the best sports games.

[OUDoc]

Too much room on the sideline in that graphic of Boone's field. The walls should be about 6 inches inside the boundaries. ;)

[Salt City Sooner]

Worst edition ever put out as far as I'm concerned. If I didn't have 15 dropped passes in a game that year, it was a good day.

not going to happen while the MLBPA and MLB to a lesser extent is getting paid more by 989 Sports for the licensing.

[TopDawg]

I saw a sign for this at Wal-Mart this weekend and it had McFadden on the cover.

For the past few year's they've made (or you could easily find) covers for your favorite team. That might be what the Matt Ryan one is.

[Collier11]

They havent added anything really cool for the past several years, that being said I am pumped to buy it and already have my copy reserved. Any word on new features?

[Collier11]

I agree but I bought MLB the show this year and the game is really good. Very few glitches and very fun. Also, the gameplay is fair compared to some games

[Scott D]

989 makes some top notch games when it comes to sports no doubt. That's why it was a disappointment when the NFL went exclusive with EA Sports, because the competition is what pushed EA to make better advances with their sports games. Now, they're mainly sitting on their laurels with the football franchises, and really only have head to head competition in basketball.

I believe they have a different player for every game system they're releasing it on (save for the Wii, which has Sparty the Spartan on it). I'll see if I can dig up all the covers.

[SeattleOUstudent]

Im very excited. I have a new PS3 just waitin to be burned out from the usage of this game. its the only thing that gets me thru the month of July and August....that and pirated downloads of games from previous years.

Kinda sad really.

[S008NER]

Why dont they make it for the PC?

[Collier11]

cus this isnt 1993? ;)

[TheUnnamedSooner]

Looks like they got OU's color right. Last season was too bright or something.

Also, I like this year's cover better than last...

[def_lazer_fc]

talk about the most unpopular cover of all time

could be worse. (im thinking of a blue and orange color scheme here.)

[shaun4411]

usually the coverboy is the heisman trophy winner, on the national champ team, or is on a team that won some awe-inspiring bowl game.

[poke4christ]

New Features
-Online Dynasty!!! (long overdue)
-Better in game play
-new character models
-New lighting effects
-can't remember what else

I think Major League edditing options should have been added
-Edit, modify, and create conferences including uploading logos, changing number of teams in conference, deciding on a championship game or not, conference schedules, Bowl Tieins, ect.
-Edit, modify, and create Bowls including adding logos and dictating locations.
-Post Season and season editing. Including controling number of games and game dates, chosing between playoffs and bowls (or both), Assigning locations or home team advantage as well as garuanteed bids.

This is what I've been waiting forever for and it NEVER comes!!!!! Come on EA!!!!

P.S. Someone should organize a SF online dynasty over here.

I'm getting the Wii version. I hope they get the controls right.

Did it come across that the second section of items was my ramblings on what should be added and aren't in the current game (to my knowlegde)? Also, I wouldn't expect online dynasty to be a part of the PS2 version.

[Collier11]

No, I was just saying that some of the features get added to PS3 and not
PS2

[TopDawg]

There are a few videos here (http://www.easports.com/ncaa09/media.jsp) that highlight some of the new features and gameplay improvements. I'm getting pretty excited about it.

It looks like they finally got OU/TX right.

[poke4christ]

I do think it's rather dumb that they are in the 3rd or 4th (forget which) iteration on the next gen systems and they still have generic stadums for many teams. I can understand it for I-AA teams (if they are even in the game), but all D-IA teams stadiums should be in the game. Also, other locations like the cotton bowl, arrowhead, and mile high should be in the game. I don't know how many of these use generic stadiums (I'm glad they finally got the cotton bowl), but I know that it is still upseting some small school fans.

[Collier11]

I just wish they would make gameplay more realistic, On all american it is too easy and on Heisman it is often too difficult

[TopDawg]

After a month or so, Heisman isn't so difficult.

I started a Heisman dynasty with OU, UAB, Utah State and Army.

OU has now won 4 (more) national titles.

UAB Coach got a job offer at Auburn after his second year, and then moved to West Virginia.

Utah State (now in the Pac-10) and Army are currently #'s 2 and 3 behind OU heading into the conference championships.

I admit...I had one or two re-starts in Year 1 for UAB, USU and Army...but that's all. And the computer really did cheat on those games. ;)

My biggest problem is that I usually only play the computer so I get used to their playcalling and gameplay (it's predictable after a while) so when I play someone else, it's a lot harder.

One of these years I'll try adjusting the sliders to make it a little more difficult/realistic. This year's defaults have hardly any penalties (mostly clipping) and some of the defensive backs have eyes in the back of their heads.

[OU-HSV]

I've never found Heisman level too hard. I usually jump right into Heisman level in dynasty mode. I've won several national championships at OU...eventually went to a few other programs and rebuilt them and won championships.
Last week I got p*ssed at my '08 game and said I'm not playing again until the new game comes out. So I've been playing some Tiger Woods like nobody's business since then.

I'm looking forward to the game coming out, I still only have a PS2...but at least I'll get to buy the new game for 39.99 this time!

[Scott D]

by Pat White you mean DeSean Jackson.

PSP - Owen Schmidt
Xbox 360 - Darren McFadden
PS3 - Matt Ryan
Wii - "Sparty"
PS2 - DeSean Jackson

Yeah, my bad. That's what I meant, I just gave it a quick glance and didn't let it soak in before I typed it. :O

I am much more pleased that it's not Pat White

[SeattleOUstudent]

So we do get to play vs other players online this year?

I had a 360 last year and that was one of the worst things about last year's game, that several BCS schools (notably Washington State, Northwestern and Duke) had to play their home games in a generic stadium, whereas the PS2 version had all the teams playing in their real stadiums. Maybe when I get a PS3 next year for NCAA '10, they'll have Jerry World for the Cotton Bowl game and the annual Arkansas-Texas A&M skirmish.

Sounds like you're planning like I am....let the PS3 price drop a lot more in the next year'ish...and then buy it in time to buy the ncaa 2010 game.

Great minds think alike :D

...and more than likely Tech vs. OSU. Now, since tech is the closest thing we've got to a second rival, I like the plan. However, I'm still wish we had gotten Arkansas.

I would like to see Arkansas play OSU again; that would be a fun intersectional series.

[goingoneight]

That's not Boone Pickens Stadium. There isn't enough red in the stands.

There's also about 12,000 too many people in the stands.

[OU-HSV]

Ahh, well you can have baseball..I don't care for it.
At least the lower Wal-mart version of the PS3 is getting cheaper.

[poke4christ]

There's also about 12,000 too many people in the stands.

Sadly, that's probably about accurate. That would be 48k. I think we might average closer to 52 or 53 though.

[Collier11]

Its a really good game on PS2 so I am sure it will be great on PS3

[TopDawg]

So we do get to play vs other players online this year?

That's been an option in the past...right?

The new thing is that this year's version offer an online dynasty mode so that you can sign up with a few other people (I'm not sure if there's a limit) and play dynasty mode against them so that you're also recruiting against them.

[TheUnnamedSooner]

I like how in '08, the Alamo Dome was a generic outside stadium.

Utah State (now in the Pac-10) and Army are currently #'s 2 and 3 behind OU heading into the conference championships.

OU just beat Nebraska for the Big XII title. Heading into bowl season, OU is averaging over 70 PPG (6 minute quarters).

National Awards:
Heisman - OU RB
Maxwell - OU QB
O'Brien - OU QB
Doak Walker - OU RB
Best WR - OU WR

OU is going up against Utah State in the title game. #4 Army is facing Central Florida in the Fiesta. #3 WVU is facing Miami I think.

I like the way the trophy room is displayed on the '08 game. I hope it's similar on this new version.

[Collier11]

nothing about this is realistic or fun for me, to each their own but I like my game to be as real as possible for a video game. My buddy is like you and likes to kill every team

The OU games get kinda boring after a while. That's why I bring along teams like Utah State and Army. I enjoy the challenge of building them up.

Besides, it IS realistic. If we had coaches who were as good at recruiting, play-calling, etc. as I am...we'd be averaging 70 ppg too.

I like the way you think. After several consecutive National Championship dynasty years at OU..I always end up going to other programs and take on the challenge of building them up.

A few I've done this at are San Diego State, Iowa, Tulsa, Washington State, South Carolina, and so on.

With the '07 game I tried to go to the Idaho Vandals and build their program up as a NC contender,ha ha...It was rough. I believe that's the only program I've ever gone to and I couldn't get over the hump with.

[SicEmBaylor]

The REAL and most important question is, did they get Floyd Casey Stadium right?

[Hot Rod]

My 7 yr old son likes playing teams like Richmond and then trying to score 100 points on them. He's been successful twice using OU. Throws the deep ball and plays good D.

Thanks for the scouting report. If I ever meet him online, he's toast! ;)

With the dynasty I have going right now, I've cracked 100 twice. Once against Florida in the national championship game and once against Miami with this team I have now.

It does seem like this game makes rivalries more tough. In the season I've got going now, OU, Utah State and Army are all heads and shoulders above OSU, Utah, BYU, Air Force and Navy...but they all "struggled" against those rivals.

[Collier11]

Its always fun playing a young kid who beats my arse and talks crap the entire time...talk about maddening!

I'm getting the Wii version. I hope they get the controls right.

Beware, Widescreen. The Wii version is not the same as the rest. The playcalling is simplified down to "run", "Deep Pass", etc. When I said "Waggle to pump up the crowd" I wasn't kidding. The game is designed for those with only a casual following of the sport.

You know, USC fans.

If it's like Madden on the Wii, then you can switch the playbook back to the normal way, by formation. It's just a different way to group the plays.

I'm not saying that this game will be as good as the PS3 or 360 versions, just that it probably won't be as bad as you're thinking. Again, if like Madden, it will be a port of the PS2 game with the different control scheme.

[OU Adonis]

This years 2009 will allow for online dynasty play.

I am starting up a league of 12 players and I am still fleshing out the rules but please respond to this thread if you are interested.

Some of things I have so far.

The initial team selection for the league will be limited. (We will start with crappy teams)

You will need to be able to play two games a week. (We may go with more games a week if everyone is willing)

You will only be able to adjust your schedule slightly. I.E you will have to stick with the main part of the schedule. How much we will allow for adjustments will be determined.

We will play on the All American Level.

Random Drawing to see who gets to pick first team. (Remember they are all going to be crappy teams from bad conferences)

You will be allowed to take jobs with other teams.

Let me know if you are interested. It should be good times.

(I will remove my other post in this forum, it fits here more.)

[NormanPride]

What happens if Chuck picks one and Jaux picks one, and then they have to play a game? Time zone differences can be a pain.

[OU Adonis]

What happens if Chuck picks one and Jaux picks one, and then they have to play a game? Time zone differences can be a pain.

Well there will be 12 human players, but all the teams in Division 1 will be represented so 1 on 1 matchups between human players won't be prevailant at least in regular season. This will be an ongoing league where you try to build up your team over a few years like offline dynasty play.

Here is a working list of the teams that will be available to select from.

The schedules should be chosen by the computer. I am still working out the details but I am thinking you will be able to "Opt out" of two games a year. (I.E you will be able to switch opponents)

From what I've seen and read, it doesn't seem as bad as you seem to think. I know it won't be the same and some of the stuff seems irritating but I don't think the playcalling will be a major problem. We'll see I guess. My biggest concern is that it's the 1st Wii entry for NCAA so it has the potential of having some major problems. Plus there's no online which kinda stinks.

Yeah, I miss that feature.

[shaun4411]

is anyone in here making an OU NCAA 09 cover?

[OUMallen]

I pre-bought it and will be picking it up on Tuesday for PS3.

[TopDawg]

Well there will be 12 human players, but all the teams in Division 1 will be represented so 1 on 1 matchups between human players won't be prevailant at least in regular season. This will be an ongoing league where you try to build up your team over a few years like offline dynasty play.


I might be interested in this. I've never played online, so I'd have to set that up. Isn't there a subscription fee to play online?

When are you thinking about starting this? That would determine my ability to play.

Probably won't be getting a PS3 anytime soon, and I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll get the PS2 version. That's what happens when you're still waiting for your economic stimulus check to arrive.:(

I feel your pain. We were supposed to have gotten our check yesterday...but no check yet. Technically we should have gotten it a long time ago, but the gov messed up and claimed they had an error in direct depositing our regular tax return. So we've ended up getting on the "paper check" list for the stimulus check too it seems.

[OU Adonis]

The subscription price is $7 bucks a month on the 360. I am looking to start the league around the end of the month. I would like to give everyone time to get the game and play it for a week or two. Maybe start it around the 26th of the month.

[OU-HSV]

I wonder if somehow anyone in the Tulsa area will have the PS2 version for sale today..like an early sale. That'd be cool, I'd be buying it if so.

[OU Adonis]

If anyone on here is intersted in joining the 360 league please PM me your email address and I will start a mailing list. I will send out some of the specifics then and we can hash out a few things.

All you PS2 people need to quit buying games and move to a next-gen console. It's holding back Wii development.

[Widescreen]

PM on its way :eek:

I'm disappointed...I had it in my mind that today was the release date for this game. I called walmart and they said "we'll have it here at midnight". I was like oh crap, today isn't the 15th!

[OU-HSV]

Now I've got the dilema. I'm awake, it's close to midnight. Do I:
a) Drive to walmart now and get the game so I'm assured that I have it
b) Hope that tomorrow on lunch I can swing by a walmart and get it then
??

[silverwheels]

Oh yeah, for you guys that download rosters, go to http://freencaa09rosters.com/ or http://www.fairdale-kings.com/. Both of these sites are run by hard-working people who do their own rosters and do not charge for them.

Do not get rosters from DT Linder (earosters.com) or Brian Kaldenberg (gamerosters.com, fkrosters.com, psxsports.com) as they're both assbags who steal others' work and turn around and charge customers for it, or at least Kaldenberg does. DT doesn't explicitly charge, but he does "request donations". Just don't deal with either of them, please.

Go with B.
It's been already over an hour and I haven't left my house all day. On the other hand, waiting for the first shipment for NCAA to arrive every year has sort of jumped the shark. I used to do a few "midnight runs" back in the day.

Do you know if they do PS2 rosters?

[Collier11]

There is a guy with the name black lover that does them every year for PS2 and he does a really good job. I will update the board when he will have them ready, he doesnt charge but does ask for a donation and I have always gotten my rosters from him

[OU Adonis]

Hey Top Dawg if you are reading this I can't send you PMs. If your interested in joining the league email me at [email protected].

Thanks!

[OUMallen]

ANyone play yet?

[OU Adonis]

I got the game. Gameplay and visuals seem to be better. I have only played one game though.

[Mixer!]

I smoked Hook em 63-0 in the RRS. The Wii contols took some getting used to, but it's not as bad as I've heard.

I don't have much trouble on offense, but on defense, I spaz out and let the CPU turn short gains into TDs.

[OU Adonis]

I have room for 6 more in my 360 league if anyones interested.

[OUMallen]

Can anyone tell me how to get roster onto PS3? I don't have internet at home (just moved) and my PS3 is nary 3 weeks old, so I don't know how to use it.

[SeattleOUstudent]

do we have a PS3 league going somewhere?

Sorry for my disappearance. When are you planning on starting the league?
