However, in doing initial research for NCAA Football 09, it became abundantly clear that EA Sports is about to implement a major change that goes beyond extra depth or more animations. We're fully aware of all you football geniuses who require the deepest and most intricate simulation possible, but we know there are plenty of casual football fans out there who want something more accessible. They probably want an experience that's richer and more rewarding than a game like Blitz, but they also don't feel like spending a few hours just trying to get accustomed to the controls of a football game. Evidently, EA has recognized this large group of gamers as well, and they're finally producing a simulator that has a distinct "pick-up-and-play" quality. You can expect realistic momentum physics, spruced-up graphics, and certain gameplay modes that will satisfy any hardcore fan, but the casuals have a place here, too."
