    Better animation, a little easier to pass, more options, the ability to put custom music in is fun. More broken tackles and the players fall forward more like they do in real life. The extra cheerleader animations and mascots are fun, but the crowd is still generic and the duplicate players and people on the sidelines just staring straight ahead all of the time takes away from theBetter animation, a little easier to pass, more options, the ability to put custom music in is fun.

    Comopared to Madden NFL 08, this games is a dream. The AI is great. The stadium layouts and mascot are great. Being able to call extended audibles with the right stick is innovative. I also like the college superstar mode, which is far superior to the NFL game.. Best of all is the ability to pitch with QB option. What a difference to Madden, which is nearly impossible to play.

    When all's said and done, NCAA 09 may have some rough spots and bugs, there are ways around it that keep them from hampering the immense amount of enjoyment that the game offers.

    I didn't mean to harp on the gimmicks, but while there were some minor flaws in the game, it's a very solid effort for the long running series.

    Just as the addition of the Online Dynasty mode will satisfy many, the lack of significant improvements to other key modes of NCAA Football 09 will disappoint many others.
