Off Topic: NCAA Football '09 set to hit the shelves

This week the absolute greatest Video Game on earth gets released…

For those of you Florida State fans out there, this is the only venue in which you will enjoy marginal success. We are in for a disastrous year at Doak Campbell Stadium at Bobby Bowden field, but hey at least they installed Video Boards so they can continue to royally disregard key replays. Damn I’m bitter.

At any rate, the game will unveil new (breakaway tackles) and supposedly more fluid movements and juke moves. The player models have been upgraded to make college athletes look like, well, college athletes and not a bunch of Gladiators roaming the field. Another cool addition to the game, is touchdown celebrations. You can actually run to: teammates and celebrate, run to your teams mascot and celebrate, OR run to the opposing teams mascot and GLOAT, which In turn riles up the opponents home crowd, very nice addition. EA has also added more uniform combinations including FLORIDA STATE’s Black on Black UNCONQUERED unis.

Madden will be released a month from now, although it’s never as good as NCAA Football, this year’s edition should be a little more exciting for Buc Fans as we actually have another threat on offense outside of Joey Galloway (DJax), plus we should have a return game at our disposal… If you’re going out to get NCAA, don’t forget to jump on EBay and get your roster names, I don’t know what I would do without those!!!

Aw crap Jerry, you are an FSU Fan? Now I gotta find a new Buc Blog!

Just Kidding! But seriously, GO GATORS!!! And GO BULLS!!! Your right, FSU doesn’t have a chance this year, it’s all about Clemson in the ACC. I got a PS3 and a Wii. Without a doubt, I can’t wait to get NCAA 2009 AND Madden 2009.

Florida State will

be back!!! I joke about it all the time, but they are seriously in a “Work-In-Progress” Mode… Having our star player (Preston Parker) get in trouble this off-season really stuck it to the fan base. We have some really solid pieces (Parker, Brown, Carr etc), but the writing is on the wall. Given the suspensions early on and the bleak outcome overall, it really says alot about NCAA ‘09 and how it really doesnt matter how crappy your college is playing, the video game forces you to get pumped up for the season…

I recently got a PS3 (Much to Ghosthippo’s chagrin), currently have it hooked up via the RCA jacks it came with, recently purchased the HDMI Cable off EBay (awaiting its arrival). Do you have the HD Cable hooked up? Is it an obvious upgrade in picture quality?

I like to think College Football is about Peaks and Valleys… FSU is in a serious rut, but UF was there as well with Brock Berlin – Zook and the ship got righted, so i’m looking forward to Florida State’s future (just not the immediate future aka 2009)

PS3s make baby jebus cry

Did you also know they are a leading factor in global warming? Also, 90% of the purchase price goes straight to islamic extremist groups, the other 10% goes to support (insert your most hated politician here)!!

Seriously tho, they need cross platform multiplayer in the NCAA/Madden series, that would be awesome, not a realistic expectation, but awesome none-the-less, maybe I’ll snag my bros PS3 for a bit and we can get some online action going.
