Online Dynasty is here. Looks like I have a reason to buy it this year, and play online. I've been playing the 2007 game for the last two years, and haven't played online regularly since the 2005 game.

I'm pretty happy that EA finally decided to give us he ability to use custom songs. I know it's minor compared to some of the other stuff, but still.
Looks like I'll be buying NCAA 09.

That sucks. Luckily, I have a Wii to go along with my PS2. A PS3 or 360 is probably still on the way for the more graphic intense games.
Has anyone played Madden '08 on the Wii? If so. How does the game play compare to the PS2? The Wii is just so different than my PS2 and if Madden sucks on the Wii then I won't buy NCAA Football '09 until I can get a PS# or 360.

Basically it is time to move on. EA knows they can't waste any more resources on the old generation and have to pump up their next gen software to take advantage of the new hardware. Cuz I know the people with the next gen consoles are waiting on EA to actually release a next gen game that doesn't suck.

From what I read and heard the Wii NCAA 09 version will have a Wii feel. And geared towards family type play. So I can bet the game will be more acradish and less simulation. But that is my guess. Probable the best thing to do is rent Madden or NCAA 09 when it comes out for the Wii to see if you like it.

Yeah, I'll try to rent '09 when it comes out. If it sucks, then I may be forced to get a PS3.
Oh, and for those that post this every year I'll go ahead and do it for you.
RELEASE THIS FOR THE PC!!!!!
