There's more complaints to come...lol.

There are tons of complaints. Basically the monopoly that EA gained with being the only game in town has killed any improvements. It is such a cash cow to them they have no need to try to make real improvements. They just need to throw in a "gadget" every year so there is an apparent reason to go buy the game.

Lengthy list of flashy new features. I wonder if they will fix the numerous basic problems...

like depth charts sorting by worst player overall after one switch, players running like in mud, receivers being unable to chase down middle linebackers in less than 40 yards, breaking a record and having it announced every game after that, subbing in CBs on offense and WRs on defense without good reason... etc. :smash:

I'm not holding my breath that more than 2-3 of those will be fixed.

What does this mean? Is this like old-school madden where you could crush players after the play is blown dead? Can you go for cheapshots?

That said... roster file sharing alone =

Thank you Lord! Online file sharing and dynasty mode. So when does the BP dynasty league start?

Me thinks we will have to get that going the day after it comes out :biggrin:

But seriously... that is the BEST thing since sliced bread. Online dynasty??? I think I just got a chubby.

Now we just have to hope they can really pull it off and it isn't some pipe dream and they screw it up and make it unplayable.

if its jake long or mike hart, i will not buy it!! i dont like the fact that that game case will have a maize and blue jersey on and it will be in my house!! all kidding aside, it seems like in ncaa 08 the players run slower than shit! its like no one runs faster than a 5.5 second 40! personal opinion....

Animations... I'm glad we can break out of them now, but a physics engine is long since overdue. We're past the tech barrier that made canned animations a true necessity, EA is just being lazy (understandably so, I suppose, given their absolute monopoly) and somewhat cheap by not really overhauling the game. Annoying that we'll have better and more realistic physics in GTAIV than NCAA'09 (or '10, '11, '12, etc.)

Most of the changes seem cosmetic again, which is all well and good -- but as Jwins suggested, there are some core problems that needed to be addressed.

ugh....and it's Matt Ryan. I've never felt so lame about buying a potentially awesome game in my entire life. It was just announced.

Sony supports interceptions just as much as Todd McShay.

Disappointing cover.. no offense Matt. You seem like a great guy. You're just overhyped. Put Dorsey on there.. his team won the title and he was a big part of it.
