User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars NCAA 07
This is an American college football game based on going into the 2007 season. realistic gameplay with achievements to unlock. I prefer to hand the ball to the back 30 times a game for 100 yards. I get pass happy and throw 3 or 4 picks a game, so you’re better running 30 to 40 times a game and fumble twice tops. I was throwing picks going into score that cost me my few losses during the season. also won some bowl games. you can either play or sim the season any time. The main problem is i can’t depend on my kicker for field goals, esp. long distance or even mixed extra points. Start a dynasty and get ranked in the BCs 25.
3 Stars Not bad but the PS3 version is better
It gives you plenty of things to do to keep yourself busy. Fun to play not to hard to pick up the basics. Career mode is better on PS3. The PS3 put more work into the little things, but this game was still good.
4 Stars A Pretty Nice NCAA Game!
This is a pretty good game(about 4.5 stars), definitely an improvement from the 07 version. The graphics and sound f/x are AWESOME! It’s like you’re really in the stadium getting cheered on or booed by the fans. Gameplay is a little laggier (but also more realistic) than the past NCAA games and the players seem slow and chunky, but overall it’s a pretty down right fun game to play by yourself or with a friend.
4 Stars ncaa football 08
Overall really good game as long as you play it on the harder settings. Also it makes it more interesting if you have a favorite team(s) and enter their roster in.
2 Stars A Step Backwards
To sum this game up frankly: horrible camera, clunky controls, laughable animations, the players look like they’re wearing plastic uniforms, player models are cartoonishly out of proportion, the team stats mean nothing, the frame-rates are inconsistent and stutters when menus load…and the list goes on. I’m not big on the extra features, I just like to play exhibition matches and this game fails miserably.
What happened since NCAA 2006? I enjoyed that game thoroughly on PS2. The controls are intuitive and responsive, and the game has a smoother, faster feel to it. It’s not perfect, but it is at least enjoyable. Making plays on defense was actually possible in that game. I always control a defensive tackle and getting off blocks is next to impossible in 2008, against any team.
Why EA moved away from the 2006 controls, I don’t understand (this goes for Madden as well), using the right analog stick to juke/swim/hit was great and allowed for very fluid gameplay that shoulder buttons can’t emulate as well. As other people have said, switching the controls for every version is confusing and annoying. 2006 had it right.
This game is a joke, and not even worth the cheap, used price I paid for it.
