NCAA Football player model comparison
With the release of two new screenshots from NCAA Football 09 came a description of how some of the character models have been improved. Some people have noticed differences while others have stated that they look the same.

NCAA Football 09 pre-alpha video
Even in pre-alpha stage the movement is really impressive. You can definitely see how free each animation is and how it can be broken into another at any time. The quick jukes look fantastic and could be really effective.
Over the past few years one of my biggest complaints with the football games has been the sense that they almost feel scripted. You can pretty much know what is possible to happen on a given play and there weren't going to be any surprises. Of course the majority of big ...
