In order to promote its new Wii version of NCAA Football, EA held a competition from February 14, 2008 until March 14, 2008, allowing for fans to vote on their favorite NCAA Division I FBS college team mascot (with the University of Montana's Monte the lone FCS representative).[1][2] The winner of the competition, Michigan State's mascot Sparty, is featured on the cover art for the Wii.[4]
Each of the other four versions of the game features a different athlete on the cover. All are former collegiate players, as the use of an active student athlete is against NCAA regulations.
A contest was released June 19 at the Xbox Live Marketplace (Xbox 360) and PlayStation Store (PlayStation 3). The teams are Ohio State Buckeyes and the LSU Tigers and with 2 minute quarters at varsity level. A mascot game is also available with the Florida Gators versus the Texas Longhorns. Retired Online Play On February 5, 2011, EA retired online play for several old games, including NCAA Football 09 for all platforms.
The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of NCAA Football 09 were generally well received by critics, earning scores of 81/100 and 83/100, respectively.[8][9] IGN gave the game a score of 8.4/10 for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.[10]
