Padre’s Campus Legend: Part 9
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 Even with the game now released, Padre's Campus Legend will continue on. Following his story will give a complete background for when he is moved into Madden's Superstar mode. There is a chance he'll do so after his Junior year, it will depend on the timing. This is a recap of the first seven games of Padre's sophomore season. Now a starter, he isn't concerned with being the #1 CB he just wants an opportunity to be o...

NCAA Football 08 online play falling short again
Once again the area of online play in an EA Sports title is failing. Granted this is right at and around release time and the problems could still very well be fixed. I have been told they are being looked into. However that is not a sufficient excuse for having a poor online play experience for everyone around the release time frame. By now everything should be fully prepared for and functioning correctly for the release of every title. Game crippling lag, disconnects, and connection issues ar...

Padre’s Campus Legend: Part 8
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 Of note, there are no practices or evening events after the final regular season game. So there is no improving ratings between that point and any conference championship or bowl game. Continue on for a recap of the Gator Bowl and an early look at the start of the next season!

Padre’s Campus Legend: Part 7
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 Padre decided to try another practice. He had much more success this time. A pass deflection took it from 41 points down to 38. He intercepted a pass and took it back for a TD which dropped the points needed to 24. A big hit on a tackle and it was down to 20. He got a +1 boost in several categories. So while I stated before its tough to make plays as a DB in practice, at least this time I had some success. I've been meaning to mention how ...

Padre’s Campus Legend: Part 6
It seems that if you sim practice you don't get any credit for them. Padre is still 41 "points" behind the next guy on the depth chart. Been stuck there the whole season. I went in and played four practices. Through 40 plays, I was only able to make one tackle. That is the one that took me from 45 points back to 41 points back. As a CB it is really tough to do anything in the practices. I'm going to try a few more before the set of games following this update and we'll see how that goes. I'v...

Padre’s Campus Legend: Part 5
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 One question I've seen around is pertaining to the quarter length in Campus Legend. Well, you probably don't want to go any longer than 5 minute quarters. In the mode, the clock doesn't run during play selection. So for example, lets say a play ends with 1:59 on the clock. It then goes to the play screen where you OK it to continue. Then it goes back to the field where it is 1:59 as the teams break the huddle. I noted a few long drives and the time it took ...
