EA Sports has posted up a new video for NCAA Football 09 that spotlights some of the advancements the game has made this year compared to last. You'll see examples of what I could only describe after playing as the natural look and feel in the movement of players. That includes the movement during pre-snap and while catching kickoffs, running down the sidelines, convoy blocking with celebrations, bobbled catches, and post play continuation. It's a pretty extensive look at areas that haven't be...

EA Sports has posted a new producer blog for NCAA Football 09 that goes over the Custom Stadium Sounds feature. It includes some screenshots along with the discussion on how the feature works and how it is the beginning of a move towards user created content. You can read the full blog posting here. I think the coolest thing about Custom Stadium Sounds is I have an opportunity to affect the game other than just by my actions on the field. The purists out there will gather all of their team...

IGN has released a video of a full drive in NCAA Football 09 as Boston College takes the ball down the field on BYU. The video runs for approximately 4 1/2 minutes and can be viewed here (make sure to watch in high-res). The game looks to have been tightened up some from the build we played a few weeks ago.

This will be the place to get everything you need to utilize the feature and most accurately represent each team. If you'd like to contribute with your knowledge of what is heard...

Through numerous recent previews the online dynasty feature of NCAA Football 09 continues to be a central topic of discussion. With most of the previews touching on the same things below are two that are worth checking out. NCAA Strategies has posted up an interview with NCAA Football 09 producer Ben Haumiller. This was recorded on the night of the cover reveal event. It mainly covers the online dynasty feature but does briefly delve into other areas of the game. There were also some follow...

With Operation Sports having released a video which displays team rankings and ratings I feel comfortable in going forward with listing out the top 25 teams in NCAA Football 09 (I'll continue to hold off on the toughest places to play and top player ratings). When it comes to the actual team ratings I wouldn't put much stock into those. I began taking them down before realizing that the numbers were different each time I viewed the team. While the top 25 may not be finalized (LSU will proba...
