Online NCAA Football 09 Tournaments: Features & Upgrades
Gamers loyal to the genre of college football video games will notice a number of upgrades and additions to the NCAA Football 09 battle, making the difference between NCAA Football 2008 and NCAA Football 2009 akin to the distinction between playing for school pride and playing pro:
- Improved stadium environment & effects—immerse gamers in the excitement of the stadium experience and provide a more realistic on-the-field feeling; specifically, texture has gone through the roof (you can now tell the difference between turf and real grass in NCAA Football battles as well as witness “field degradation” during play), lighting is more fine tuned (dusk is not so dark that you can't see shadowed players in supreme detail), and the crowds come alive with advanced graphics and increased use of home-crowd colors
- New animation system—enables players of online NCAA Football 09 challenges to string together a number of combo moves for a smoother style of play
- Quarterback Quiz—allows gamers to actually affect quarterback composure after throwing an interception; post-throw, the player is shown a series of photos and given a choice between three defensive strategies…if he selects appropriately, he regains his composure for future possessions. On the other hand, incorrect quiz selection results in negative consequences, which include becoming more flustered by rival crowds
- Family Play mode—the most significant addition to the college football video game-seriously simplifies gameplay for beginners…down to the single press of a button; it also directs the greenest of gamers when to press it and suggests plays appropriate for various situations
- Mascot Challenge—breaks down the basics of common actions and allows NCAA Football 09 video game fans to advance upwards from the junior varsity level
- Dynasty mode enhancements—improve preparation, letting gamers train using opponents' playbooks and against various obstacles, such as crowd commotion
