PASSING

On passing plays, eligible receivers will all have an OK icon above them to start the play. Pressing OK or 5 will activate Field Vision Passing (FVP) mode. This will slow the game down, allowing the quarterback to read the field better, and will also activate passing by changing the receiver icons to directional arrows. To pass the ball, press the direction (Up/Down/Left/Right) that corresponds with the intended receiver. The user can also pass to the primary receiver by pressing OK/5 within FVP as well as with 2/4/6/8 in place of the directional pad.

RUNNING

While running with the ball the user can press the OK or 5 key to perform an action. The action performed is context sensitive and includes various moves such as Juke, Stiff-Arm, and Dive.

PITCHES

NCAA Football 09 includes multiple Option running plays as well as QB Choice. These plays give the user the option of pitching the ball to an eligible pitchman, or having the QB keep the ball and run with it. Pitching is performed by pressing OK or 5 when the pitchman is in range, which is signified with an OK icon above their head.

DEFENSE

Press the OK or 5 key to tackle/leap. Press the * key to switch defensive players.
