While there have been some awesome football games that have come out as of late, others have been plagued by poor gameplay, bugs, or just bad computer AI. NCAA Football '09 falls in the latter category, as indicated from this video:
AI is an unfortunate problem in tons of games. Reminds me of when I was playing Starcraft. On one of the last terran battles they used 3 nukes on me. They all targeted the same minor defense outpost. The total damage each time was one (evacuated) bunker and one missile turret lol
