The more and more I play this game the more and more pissed off I become. There are so many things I could write a book. Particularly in Dynasty Mode. First of all, recruiting is next to impossible. I AM in a 3 person dynasty, but we rarely recruit the same players. On offense, running any corner route is money, every time, doesn't matter. Having a left handed QB is horrible. The game is so "type-casted" in so many aspects. If you have a bad QB, no matter where it hits an opposing DB there is a great chance it will get picked. Better QB same situation....drop. Thats so stupid. Defensive pass rush is a joke. "Y" works, I would say, 20% of the time. Don't kid yourself guys, you know you have all experienced this. I play with Iowa and I am currently in my third season. I have underachieved defensively since I've been there. By the numbers, I have great players, but I have to control them to do everything. It's insane! Like I said recruiting is ridiculous. When the makers made the recruiting feature I'm sure they made a list of teams regardless how bad they are, that get a ton of 5 star recruits. UF, FSU, USC, Texas, ND, VT, Miami. Ridiculous. I wish I had kept my PS2. If anyone wants to get up with me my AIM is Wudog96. Peace 449050@blogcritics.org Fri, 29 Sep 2006 18:38:17 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-430855 I wish the Ncaa series would go back to how it was in 06 it was so much better and wat happened too the two players on 1 team it might have it but can some 1 help me [Personal contact info deleted] plz ooo yea and they took out the race for the heisman im preety dissapointed so i give it a 2-5 430855@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Aug 2006 21:30:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-419623 I really tried to dedicate myself to like this game since i've been a fan of the series for about 5 years now... but i just cant. There's no fooling myself, all the features they have been building up over the years are gone just like that so they can bring them back slowly again as "new features" later on. on 360 doing a dynasty with 2 players is really troublesome with all the separate loading you have to do and the skill level doesn't save. You get the authentic feeling of playing a bug version, an unfinished product when playing this game. It even has a glitch when you change a TE to a WR after a season in dynasty mode they will either get 100 speed or 100 strength. And i must say even disregarding the missing minigames, in game audibles, features from dynasty mode, formation subs, and STRIP BUTTON... the worst thing about this game and it will be evident after just a couple games played if you know anything about football "physics"... THE DEFENSIVE ENDS ARE HORRIBLE IN THIS GAME! if you have a QB with at least 70 speed, then ALL THIS GAME IS ABOUT is rolling out and having all day to throw the ball or run it because the DE's in this game DO NOT CONTAIN AT ALL. just wait a second after the snap and it is as though they get stuck to the O line and cannot get off for nothing...everytime. It just totally kills the game. This game was rushed. EA is getting LAZY, if i worked there I'd be kicking ass on how crappy this game is. To end on a good note yeah the graphics are good, it's 360, what else do you expect when going to next gen? it's like they just depended on the graphics...and the running animation is bad too, might as well kept last year's. they run bowl legged and stiff with no bounce in their step. i give this game a 2 out of 5 419623@blogcritics.org Wed, 2 Aug 2006 13:01:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-415068 the game is not that bad,but it also is not that good, it's kinda in the middle for me i could care less about all the silly mini games,i like the dynasty mode the graphics should be way better for a next generation game,no current generation game should be better than next generation but EA has figured out that they can add more each year so people can spend their money on a "new game" every year 415068@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Jul 2006 22:09:32 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-414529 You can take NCAA 07 online with the original Xbox, and you don't need to wait for new jerseys. They're already on the disc. 414529@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Jul 2006 23:16:44 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-414319 This game is horrible. The worst of the series. There are few if any customization of players or anything else. As stripped as possible. DO NOT GET THIS GAME. 414319@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Jul 2006 16:43:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-413857 What about online play? I couldn't careless about single player options. Playing online is all that matters. The marketplace and online features make the extra $10 well worth it. 413857@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Jul 2006 17:53:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-413466 What's worse is that they have pics of the real stadium in the background while browsing menus. 413466@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:51:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/24/023518.php#comment-413213 Not only does BGSU have a gigantic generic stadium, they call it Doyt Perry Stadium. I'm sorry, but the 75 overpass would not even fit! I am sure some corners had to be cut because of the nmber of schools, but it doesn't take two seconds of a Google search to see how big The Doyt is. 413213@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Jul 2006 02:40:23 EDT
