also the Big XII has a conference title game

all conferences should have it

yes USC, you need one in the Pac-10 as well...but you've proven that you're worthy of playing in NC games by winning and winning big (and getting Vince Young's semen all over your jerseys)

"I guess it's just a simple "people like to hate OSU""

nahh, more like hating on OSU is easy because they make it easy to do by shitting the bed

6/11/2008 5:46:56 PM

^says the State fan. C'mon. At least they own a bed to shit in.

6/11/2008 5:50:58 PM

come on, comparing State to OSU???? Atleast I know we don't belong as a power. OSU continually gets to the pinnacle by playing nobodies, and shits the bed against superior teams. Just accept that fact. But OSU fans just blow it off as people hating on them. NO....its true! YOU SUCK COMPARED TO SEC TEAMS

6/11/2008 6:04:30 PM

thats true, we do. care to count heismans or national championships?

Look, I admit (mainly since it's fact) that OSU got punished by Florida. The game against LSU was a competitive game for the most part, but if you know college football, 07 wasn't supposed to be a championship level team for OSU, so I'll take going to the big game and losing, since I'm confident we'll be there again this year.

"last year, OSU played nobody. But the years prior to last, and in the coming years, they have 1 HUGE OOC game (Texas, Southern Cal, Miami, Tennessee, VT...)."

one huge game doesnt satisfy me when they dont even have to play a conference title game really.

6/11/2008 6:23:55 PM

I'd prefer a title game, but I don't know if it would take something away from the Michigan game.

6/11/2008 6:34:17 PM

Can we please, please get back to talking about NCAA football the game?

6/12/2008 10:56:19 AM

demo coming on the 19th apparently for xbox 360

6/12/2008 2:41:00 PM

not sure if its on here or not, but here are the rankings for the top 25 teams:

http://easports.com/downloads/easports/ncaa09/ratings/top25_roster_info.xls



and we should get a 360 online dynasty organized

[Edited on June 13, 2008 at 10:54 PM. Reason : d]

6/13/2008 10:51:30 PM

^ it seems like info like that gets out sooner and sooner each year.

Do you know when they will release all the teams?

6/14/2008 3:39:59 PM

btw, the Demo is out on the marketplace today

6/19/2008 12:13:24 PM

yeah I just played a quick game

better than last years I think, but I havent played last years in a minute so it may not be

6/19/2008 4:02:43 PM

demo on 360 only? or ps3 as well?

6/19/2008 4:11:56 PM

should be available for ps3 sometime this afternoon. Forgot about it and just started downloading the 360 version. 1.4 gigs, 12% done so far.

6/19/2008 4:59:33 PM

any opinions on it yet?

6/19/2008 9:14:57 PM

at 14%, will let you know something when I can...


and J_Hova just signed on

6/19/2008 10:54:41 PM

downloading the PS3 demo now...hope it's good

6/19/2008 10:56:30 PM

the actual release date is still July 15th right?

6/19/2008 10:59:04 PM

"coin toss sponsored by Coke Zero"

6/19/2008 11:08:05 PM

demo is kinda meh. Has 4 2min quarters in which you can play as Ohio State or LSU. Also has a mascot game with Florida and Texas. From the game that I played, it looks better than 08. Heard a lot about pass rush being an issue but the cpu seemed to be getting decent pressure on me and I was able to sack Boeckman a couple times. Had a couple times where by LB's would get close to him and just sit there and the qb looked like he was jogging in place. Seemed pretty easy to find open receivers. Also KO'd beanie on the first play of the game. Tried a couple of the nano-blitzes from 08 and they still work way too often. Ended up winning 14-10 on a 10yd td pass with .20 seconds to go.

6/19/2008 11:14:25 PM

when you are checking your routes, why do they wiggle and shake sometime?

6/19/2008 11:18:31 PM

That's the new Home field advantage. Some of the receivers will also have ? marks over their heads and it won't show you what button they are. kinda aggravating but I didn't see any receivers run any of the wrong routes and didn't effect any of my hot routes.

6/19/2008 11:24:39 PM

Just won with LSU 11-9 haha


fucker ran back a punt on me

6/19/2008 11:30:31 PM

^^i imagine it won't with LSU and Ohio State. it probably will with the likes of Duke at Michigan

6/19/2008 11:48:20 PM

Its quite funny you would put it that way. I actually consider the latter more of a tossup.

6/20/2008 12:36:36 AM

Probably do like they did in the past and let you download them per conference. I really like the all red uniforms.

6/20/2008 5:17:48 PM

ha. saw punt returns and kickoffs go for td's on some videos people put up with the demo. I would've had a kickoff return but hit the wrong button to sprint and dove face first with the closest person about 10 yds behind me.

6/20/2008 5:55:13 PM

Anybody get into overtime? The menus disappear in the 3rd one.

6/20/2008 7:40:03 PM

haven't had a game get to OT but I've heard where people have had it just quit before the OT. I'll try it tomorrow.

6/21/2008 12:06:37 AM

the only difference here updated rosters?

6/21/2008 2:15:11 AM

using the sprint button isn't very smooth this year.

I do like (at least for now) the "which play did they run" in order to not lose momentum.

6/21/2008 3:38:15 PM

btw, this demo is the mid-april version of this game. They completed the game around the end of may/early june.....so this is NOT the finished product, and from what i've read, the guys who played the finished product at EA said the finished one is better

6/22/2008 2:11:18 AM

yeah. perrilloux isn't in the updated version and it's supposedly a little smoother.

6/22/2008 2:05:27 PM

Any clue if they have improved recruiting? Calling recruits over and over again every week got old pretty quick.

6/26/2008 6:17:30 PM

i think its the same

6/26/2008 8:12:50 PM

if the recruiting is even half as tedious this year i think i might just wait for madden

6/26/2008 8:36:12 PM

so um, we doing an online dynasty thing?

6/26/2008 8:45:36 PM

I'll do it...

I play the game real... but against JB I'm going for it on every 4th down and running option every other play...

*** but you guys might have to be patient with me. I can't play games M, T or W because I have class until 10:30p

[Edited on June 26, 2008 at 9:01 PM. Reason : i actually enjoyed the recruiting... i'm odd though]

6/26/2008 9:00:48 PM

i just wish u got more commitments during the season..............and that if u were a 6* team and u offered a 3* player then they would accept normally instead of missing out on everyone and having to take fucking walk-ons

I liked recruiting too, I would have to do it somewhat slow too, work and all

6/26/2008 9:41:09 PM

im in on the online dynasty

6/27/2008 12:00:43 AM

i still want to be able to run a dirty program should i choose to and risk the consequences

6/27/2008 12:13:46 AM

in for the online dynasty

6/30/2008 2:19:00 AM

6/30/2008 9:55:48 AM

Want to see the new night-time lighting model in NCAA 09? There's no need to wait until July 15 - you can see it in the NCAA09 Demo.

On either the PlayStation 3 or X-Box 360, change your console date to November or December. When you play the demo, either match-up will now be a night game. (Play Now will be a night game at Ohio Stadium, Mascot Mash Up will be a night game Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.)

6/30/2008 5:55:26 PM

thats a lot of effort...



so, this dynasty thing... how we doing this? avoiding the really good teams? or everyone goes for whoever they want?


just in case its option two, I want Tennessee... but if we are avoiding the good teams, I will take NC State

6/30/2008 7:01:02 PM

ha. who's on what system? We can probably get everyone in one conference. I'll be on 360.
