I've played 2007 and 2008. Are their any major differences/improvements?

**Shamrock44** · 07-16-2008, 08:35 AM

The only major difference I can tell is that during time outs you get a nice breakdown of what your opponent is doing. % of formations used, run/pass breakdown. It's basically the same as 07. However, a fade route to Kamara in the red zone has been money for me so far. Also, you may want to use "Multiple D" for your defensive play book. If you use "team specific" you can't run a 3-4. wtf?
Aldridge plays very well. I've had success running behind Sam Young. He doesn't go down after first contact but can be hawked down in the open field. Oh, I almost forgot. ND's kickoff team on the game is awful! You may want to insert some defensive starters in there. I hope they really don't play like that this year.

I haven't played too much, but it seems to be an improvement over last year's version. Last year there were a few glitches that I have not seen to this point. I like the new running dynamic and diving over the pile at the goalline is cute.
I liked the TD celebrations the first couple of times but it gets repetitive.

shamrock, what console are you using? i know on the ps3 version, ND's defense is set to the 3-4. and after playing some of the 08 games, ncaa 09 is 1000x times better than any of the 08 games on next gen. the gameplay is so smooth and the graphics and player models are much better. anyone that wants to play online on the ps3, hit me up.

I'm sorry. I should have clarified that. I'm stuck in the past with the old PS2.
