NCAA Football 09 Patch News
A patch for NCAA Football 09 to fix editing issues is on the way. The expected time for the patch to go live is 5-10 days from now according to a producer post on Operation Sports.

Pastapadre Campus Legend 09 Begins
Since the introduction of modes that center on controlling one individual player, NCAA Football's Campus Legend has been more enjoyable than Madden's Superstar. That looks to be the case again in 09 as Superstar mode has kept the annoying influence points/screens and the money/agents factor remains pointless. This year the changes to the modes were minimal. The most significant ones are a fix to the cameras so that they don't swing around when possession changes which was disorienting, and ...
