Okay, I’ve gotten over the GTA bug, which means updates will flow more frequently. Here’s what we missed from NCAA Football 09…
- Their website is totally redone. Not a whole lot of new info, but loads much faster.
- New alternate uniform updates for: Clemson, Colorado, Florida State’s “Unconquered”, Louisville, Miami, Nevada, Oregon, Pitt, Utah, UTEP, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. All of which you may see in the new NCAA 09 Alternate Uniform Gallery.
- Gamestop has put up a Mascot Custom Cover assortment. I always hate how Boomer & Sooner from Oklahoma get excluded from these mascot things just because they are new.

- IGN posted up this “Progress Report” that seemed to tell me not much more than the fact that there will be no Division I-AA NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision teams. This means again, no Appalachian State, no Delaware. none of the classic black colleges like Southern or Grambling. It’s quite sad really how on PlayStation 2 they could fit them in, but on “next-gen” they cannot. They don’t have to put all the stadiums, but how long could it take to put the players and teams? There are people who have entered names for the rosters in 3 days from release and in one year EA couldn’t have sent a couple guys to get the uniforms, logos, and players for the Div 1-AA teams? Please, it’s lazy and we still will pay $60 for their laziness every year. IGN also posted up some new movies, only thing that bugs me is that the commentary is the EXACT SAME again for the (at least) 5th year in a row. Not that it’s the same people, but they are making the exact same comments again. I think Madden will get great reviews because it sounds different and new, just with Chris Collinsworth in it.
- We learned from EA that NCAA 09 will have online leagues. I’m guessing this feature is huge because quite a few websites reported it as a huge feature. I’m not impressed really, NFL 2K5 had this, any football game with out it should be ashamed. But since it’s a first for EA we are supposed to call this a great new feature.
Until the next time, moment of zen…
