Good to see the roster file sharing capability. Too bad they can't fix the Campus Legend bugs like giving the user more control over the team and different options.
hopefully they will let you return missed FG's in madden 09 as well!!! Is the option play still out of the game? I know it was out after 05 or 06....i used to kill with that play with michigan and chris perry
I don't think the option play was ever taken out of NCAA. I like what I see about the "College Atmosphere & Pageantry" part.
Yeah they probably didnt take it out....but they changed it at some point making it more difficult i believe....But i used to love this franchise, i think im gunna get back into it with 09
Seems like a step up, but NCAA has been better than Madden for about 5 years now. I really hope EA makes major improvements with their professional installment.
