Maybe even simple and to the point.  I am not exactly expecting details on DB AI coverage patterns, QB accuracy rates, and how the AI performs in the closing minutes of the game.  However, I was expecting just a little bit more than this \u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Aside from those new features, this year\u2019s NCAA offers the same gameplay and presentation from previous installments. Because of this, what could\u2019ve been a five-star prospect quickly became a solid backup. Unless you\u2019re a college football fanatic, we suggest waiting for Madden NFL 10.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For those keeping score at home, let\u2019s recap this review.  Opening paragraph about three new features:  Coke Zero Season Showdown, Road To Glory and Team Builder modes.  This is followed by a brief paragraph on each of the features.  And the review finishes with the dribble I quoted above.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously.  That is the entire review, which awards the game a 7 out of 10.  For what it is worth, their review from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamedaily.com\/games\/ncaa-football-09\/playstation-3\/game-reviews\/review\/7185\/2084\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.gamedaily.com\/games\/ncaa-football-09\/playstation-3\/game-reviews\/review\/7185\/2084\/', 'last year');\" target=\"new\">last year<\/a> gave the game a 7 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p>So nothing has changed?  Are the bugs from last year still present?  Does the CPU put up a decent challenge?  Is the game fun?  What is Madden 10 better?  Good grief.  Remind me not to go to gamedaily for sports game reviews.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I could not help myself; I had to go hunting for NCAA Football 10 reviews.
