From the screenshots I saw, I don't think I'll be disappointed. I'm totally picking it up tomorrow.

Go Blue!

I really enjoyed beating the shit out of Sylvos and his Crimson Tide in whatever NCAA game was out for the PS2. Go 'Backs!

I will be getting this for the 360 as well.

Psst, Sylvos--there is a reason that tricky play is called an 'option'.

As far as MI--Don't yall have bob griese's kid at QB?

This is the best screenshot I've found from the game so far:

Some of the stadium shots look damn nice. I will be picking up my copy this weekend.

That is pretty sick the level of detail on a foggy Big House. The opposing sections of color are are in the right spots, the press box and scoreboards are spot on, it looks pretty damn close to the real thing.

The only inaccuracy in that shot is that Leon Hall hasn't annihilated that OSU receiver yet.

I loved NCAA 06 but I am not going to spend $60 on this game. Plus I don't have a 360 anyway so I will stick with my old 06 game for a year.

They sent photographers to take 360 degree shots of each stadium. I had read that they took multiple shots at different times of day to get the shadows right as well.

Why cant 2K Sports make a college football game? Did EA do an exclusive deal with the NCAA as well?

Sparty · Post by **Sparty** » July 18, 2006, 6:15 pm

Yeah, EA has the rights to NCAA football also.

I can't really say anthing, but it would be cool if another studio was working on a football game, huh? =)

If anyone lost with the Tide in any ncaa game it's because they suck at playing it!

Roll Tide Roll!

this game isn't really all that great. Graphics seem on par with regular Xbox rendering capablities except for the stadiums. It seems they did away with the best part of NCAA tho, the Campus Legend mode.

That turned this game into a par level football game.. Madden better not mess up like this game did.

2K Sports had better graphics and a better presentation than Madden.

Blame greed for the situation we're in now with the exclusive rights deal.

My work hours make online ordering a must for most stuff like this. Does anyone use a reliable online store with great prices that they'd like to recommend?

Ive always been a fan of the ESPN sport games when it came to football, and EA when it came to baseball, i find it ironic that instead of taking up their calling, each company went and bought the opposite sport.

EA made better baseball games hands down, but ESPN football games dominated in game play and graphics, the only reason EA did so well with football is because of the fanboi type that came with the name Madden. Not because of John Madden mind you, but just the fact that the title has been around so long. Bottom line is the 360 version of this game(NCAA '07) is crap. They cut out the best thing about the game, Campus Legend, why?

I haven't checked myself yet, but i heard that they only used up 5 gigs of the disc, why not fill the other 4 gigs with useful shit?

The 360 release should have been better than the xbox release, this is not the case however. I still wonder why i even bought a fucking 360 if the shit that is released for it doesn't make me jizz when i play it.

:EDIT: Supposedly NFL went to EA and asked them if they wanted to purchase the rights to them. EA didn't go to them. So i don't know if you can neccessarily call it greed that got us into this situation, altho somehow, i don't doubt that greed was a cause some where.

so why is the xbox 360 version inferior to the ps2 version?

They did not take Campus Legend out of the game.
