NCAA Football 09 All-Play for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I've been playing football games since Tecmo Bowl and 10-yard fight on the NES. This game is much better than it's getting credit for. I would have to guess players aren't giving this game enough play before making their evaluations. I've put a good 40+ hours in and this game is a hit.

PROS
- Great use of the WII motion controls from Tackling to throwing.
- Dynasty mode is very deep and detailed
- Challenging but easy enough to pull of running TDs, return TDs, and long bomb TDs.

Cons-
- Graphics aren't great, but this is typical of NCAA games that eat up memory with all of the details
- Lots of Fumbles and INTs, but makes it fun because games can turn in an instant

This game also features a simplistic system for younger players so they can enjoy it too, such as simplified plays and controls without all of the buttons and details. If you're a sports fan, give this game a shot.

I've owned every NCAA Football title since 1999. I've loved all of them. Until now. This game is an insult to fans of this series. They've completely dumbed down this game. I can understand the All-Play control setup so parents can play with their kids, but they didn't have to kill the rest of the game. I wouldn't play this game if somebody gave it to me for free. I feel insulted by this game.

Positives:

- I guess the All-Play controls for families

Negatives:

- Cartoon-like graphics after scores. Stupid celebrations. Cartoon style movement when sprinting.

- No Campus Legend Mode

- Old style recruiting, rather than the next-gen style.

- No ability to export draft class to Madden

This list really could go on, these were just the biggest negatives. This game truly is a piece of trash that totally alienates long time fans of the series.
