Well, I've had NCAA Football 09 for about a week and played it about five or six times.  I have noticed that I still hate one thing about all of the Football titles. I always switch to a person in coverage when the quarterback throws the ball at least once when I'm actually trying to switch to another pass rusher.  It is frustrating because it always becomes a big play.

Other than that, they have done a really good job with this year's version.  I've tried playing online a couple of times to see if the experience has changed but, it hasn't.  I probably won't be playing online much unless it is one of my brothers or friends.  I really get tired of people who just do no huddle and long ball down field every play.  My first game online this season, a guy actually had QB Sneak in his audibles.  ARE YOU SERIOUS?   He no huddled at the 2 yard line and audibles a QB Sneak.  Call it smart play calling if you want, I've never seen it happen in real life in my 35 years of living.

I like the game overall.  It is a little more responsive in some areas but the defense responsiveness is still annoying.  The best features this year are online dynasties and the ability to call an audible without tipping off the defense (except when the stupid TV Broadcasters say "Looks like they are changing things up here."  How the hell would he know, and why is he telling my opponent?  Oh well, you can't have everything work perfectly can you?  

 I just want good clean strategy based football (sim), not a graphics war.  Out think me, out coach me, and I will take a loss like a man.  But if you have to take advantage of the programming to win, miss me with your invite please, I'm not interested!
