User Rating: 9 | NCAA Football 09 PS2
After 7 seasons' in my dynasty, NCAA 09 is an instant football classic and the best to date in it's series. Love the recruiting process and the summer training and spring game off-season features. Precesion passing is so accurate and the highlight stick is so useful and to be able to combo it to set up defenders for embarrasment is great. Just a few things are a miss. The camera that is used when you return punts sucks, you can't tell who's coming from left or right. There are games which the cpu seems to set up for you too lose. Drives that go for 40-50 yards then you get 2 straight holding penalties. Stupidly drop balls, like throwing a quick out and it hits him in the shoulder pads without him turning around!!! CPU wideouts burn your corners like crazy and I hate when you try a play action and for some reason the QB never goes into passing mode, by far the most annoying thing in the game. But the hit stick on "D" is great, stripping the ball is effective and getting a jump o the line is very useful. Overall not perfect but very close.
