With NCAA Football 08 now released and having had a few weeks to play it comes time to start generating ideas for NCAA Football 09. This is when input can be considered as pretty soon the point of no return will have been reached for what goes into and is focused on for 09. I will have the opportunity to communicate ideas and opinions to the team working on 09, so feel free to leave your thoughts on what you would like to see in the game and what you would like improved.

As opposed to past community events where there was more significant amount of time before the...
