 Christmas Gift 09Dec 28, 2009
The game is exactly what I expected it to be - new and in the wrapper. It arrived before I expected it and my nephew is thrilled. Thank You.
NCAA Football 2008Nov 01, 2009
I got hooked on the NCAA Football games with NCAA 2005. I played it over and over for hours until I had to force myself to get something new. With NCAA Football 2008, I appreciated some upgrades (better recruiting system, faster loading, graphics slightly improved, more controls) so I was now hooked on this game. A few minor criticisms: There are not many options for player details, mainly face shapes and facial hair. The commentary does get a little old because it's the same from the previous couple years. The pre-game commentary is also the same for every game. Like I said these are minor, so don't weigh too heavily on my opinion of the game.
This game can certainly get frustrating at times. Do you ever have the feeling that a game is cheating? This game gives me that feeling. I have never, never, never been so sure that a game has been cheating than when I get 10 holding calls IN A ROW. Come to think of it there are too many penalty calls in general, even when I have them set on very low. I like a sports game with penalties involved to keep some realism in it, but it gets ridiculous. Also the momentum feature can get a little out of control. If the computer stops a run or sacks the Quarterback, they will suddenly have a magically superior defense that can blitz through anything to keep getting those hits, no matter what play you have or how good you have been playing up to that point. I'll laugh when I see all of my offensive linemen winning awards at the end of the year and wonder how they could be so good if they were allowing so many hits and sacks.
Those occasional frustrations aside, it's a very good game, and very addicting. I hear 09 and 10 don't have much new to offer so I'll likely stick to this game. I plan on renting 10 to see if the penalties feature is a little more reasonable...
For better or worse 07 vs. 08May 08, 2009
Game play changes are not always for the better, but not necessarily for the worse. There are some minor changes to the default settings, like the strip button is now R2 instead of R/L 1 and tapping up in the R analog stick is supposed to perform a highlight or breakaway move but overall the control configuration is consistent. The AI for defensive back coverage appears to have been improved because passing seems to be harder. Linemen AI seems better because running between the tackles is a bit harder, but running outside is easier. Maybe the coverage improvements created problems with run defense in the secondary. Overall a fun game, but it is possible that LSU is too good this time around - I haven't not won by less than 20 points yet (including a 49 - 10 shelling of #1 USC).
What a Great GameMay 06, 2009
I absolutely adore this game. I have never really played anything this in depth before. The first season or two I didn't even worry about recruiting or spring practice or any of that. But I have found that the more in depth you allow yourself to go, the more fun it is. And I suggest taking another job offer every now and then in the Dynasty mode just to keep things interesting.
I understand from some of the other reviews that EA doesn't change these very much every year. I don't care - I don't need a newer version as this one is perfect as it is.
Great GameFeb 13, 2009
This game is a lot of fun. Great Graphics. A lot of work went into this version. Its a great value and a great buy.
