NCAA Football 09 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

One word.. HORRIBLE. This game is flawed in so many conceivable ways I cannot believe they are legally allowed to say this is a "Next-Gen" game.. FAR FROM IT! This game has only been out for a little over a week and already there are 2 patches in the works to "correct" several game play issues???? I will give u just the short list on the things that are wrong with this game.
Graphics - Choppy, spotty, unimpressive in every way. They look as if they are ice skating down the field, not running!
Defense - Well.. there is NO defense on either side of the ball.. CPU QB is literally averaging 88-92% completion rate.. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO! Changing defense, positions, schemes, NOTHING changes this fact! There is NO defense in this game!
Controls - Spotty at best.. When you press a button is usually takes 1-1.5 seconds before it actually does it on screen.. Unacceptable.
Offense - If you like to be able to score each and every time you get the ball, you will love this game! However, if realism is what you want your game to be about, this game is NOT for you!
Kick/Punt Return - You will ALWAYS return the ball at LEAST 30-35 yards.. no matter what.. NO MATTER WHAT!
Special teams - I have had several instances of a kicker rated 60-70 in kick power and accuracy, only to have him CONSISTENTLY nail 55-60 yard field goals... and I mean nail.. they would have been good from 70!!!??? RIDICULOUS!!
Overall.. if you want an arcade style Nintendo 64 type game.. you will have no problems with this game. However if you are like most of us that bought a PS3 or XBOX 360 to play adult, "Next-Gen" games, you will be SEVERELY disappointed with this game. The sliders in the game do not work either by the way.. so there is no way to "tweak" the game to make it play any better. This is just an overall disaster of a game and should be avoided for now. I am not sure if the "patches" for this game will help.. but since the "patches" will not be available until Sept. go buy something else!!
