(RUMOR) Next Xbox will launch around Christmas
They say good things come to those who wait, so youd better dig in, as theres a good possibility that the Next Xbox will launch closer to Christmas that we thought.
When NCAA Football hits the streets it usually means two things. One, football is in the air, and two, summer is fading fast! EAs NCAA Football 09 is back once again with a long list of features, mini-games and modes to entice all you pigskin aficionados. The thing with football games is that we all know the game and how its played and weve seen it presented numerous times on console, so what makes this the latest and greatest, if it even is? This is football so there really is no reason to cover plot, or storylines, what we can tackle, no pun intended, is the mechanics and features of NCAA 09. One of NCAAs big features is bringing you Wide open Authentic College game play; this particular feature is enhanced by some home field advantage nuances to the game. If the visiting team gets rattled enough and starts to lose its composure, your button icons turn to question marks and routes to squiggly lines, if your pass gets picked off, yet another little nuance pops up, the Quarterback Quiz, name the defense the opponent was running correctly to regain some of your composure. The kicking game is also affected by the pressure by the Icing the Kicker mechanic. Late in a game call a time out to Ice the kicker, a lower camera angle, audible heart beat and controller rumble Kick in to try and un-nerve the player. Why do I bring these things up with a little sarcasm? Well, because these are just gimmicks in my eyes. Give me a solid game and keep the odd little bells and whistles for something else, none of these features make the Authentic College experience pop out at me. You can pump up the crowd by clicking down on the left analog stick, which would have been more than enough. Why do I criticize so harshly? Because NCAA 09 has a lot to offer without the gimmicks.
