College campuses are bastions of education -- ivory towers of learning, where students acquire skills and knowledge for their future. But every fall, these institutions are transformed with pomp, ceremony and pageantry that's rarely seen in other sports by a phenomenon known as Game Day. From the tailgating in the parking lots to the school chants in the stands, the energy surrounding a game can be truly electric and is only amplified when rivals face off against each other. EA Sports put the college atmosphere at the center of its latest installment of
NCAA Football 09, which features a large number of adjustments from last year's title. While the Campus Legend mode has suffered in this year's title, elements like the addition of the online Dynasty balance out segments that have been lost, making this version of the game an impressive representation on the field.
