3.0 out of 5 stars If it's in the game.......it might NOT be in this game....., July 21, 2006

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: NCAA Football 2007 (Video Game)

Wow. Next-generation game. $60. And this is what we end up with?

Graphics are good but not great, let alone awesome(play a game in the rain...waaay too choppy for next-gen graphics). Gameplay is ok, but not as smooth, consistent, and fun as past incarnations. It is also missing some options, features, and extras from past NCAA titles(but don't worry, i'm sure they'll offer these bit by bit as downloadable content in the future where you gotta fork over more money as apparently $60 off the rack isn't enough). I'm sure there are EA loyalists/apologists who think i'm a hater(it's true, i hate EA so much i've bought most of their NCAA football titles for the past decade or so including their first on the Sega Genesis way back when, and my favorite incarnation of them all: NCAA 2004 with coverboy Carson Palmer on the Gamecube!).

But anyway, is this a terrible game? Not really. if you can 'overlook' and 'forgive', it's good enough graphics and gameplay-wise. But if you used up all your 'look the other way/turn the other cheek' mentality with the also-disappointing(but better-looking at least) MADDEN 2006 on 360; then i STRONGLY recommend you rent this game first or read better and more detailed reviews on the game before buying it. I wish i had before i bought this game. Then at least my lowered expectations wouldn't have set me up for such a huge let-down. Recommended only as a rental or 'read reviews first before buying'. Seriously, after MADDEN 2006, i thought EA learned that next-gen games(at next-gen prices i might add), needed to have everything last-gen games had and more. With NCAA 2007, i guess not. Perhaps NCAA 2008 will be the game we're all hoping for. Hope MADDEN 2007 at least addresses all the concerns of its previous incarnation on 360.

Btw, can others tell me:
how do you change the camera angle?
how do you set up a demo game to watch cpu vs cpu?
where's the slick front end and in-between-game presentations?
why do the graphics sometimes slow down, seem choppy, etc?
how do you create-a-school?
where's the sports-illustrated covers?

Maybe many of these are unlockables or rewards for achievements-earned during gameplay and hopefully NOT extra-cost downloadables. But hey, the EA execs gotta eat don't they? But not to worry, NCAA 2007 will sell by the truckload cause the majority rules. And in this day and age, the majority says "we'll take hd graphics over features and gameplay anyday". The majority has spoken.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seriously Lacking, July 19, 2006

The false advertising for this game would lead you to believe the 360 version has:

* Excel in the classroom to improve your overall character -- balance your time wisely between studies, practice, and social events as you live the life of a Student Athlete

* Hone your skills with 11 new and challenging Spring Drills -- minigames like Rush the Quarterback, Passing Distance, and more!


In reality, the 360 version possesses neither of those, and not much of anything. You have four modes: Play Now, Dynasty, Online, and Mini-Games. That's it. The Mini-Games get repetitive and Play Now is pretty much worthless for anything except multiplayer battles.

The Dynasty Mode on 360 is exactly like NCAA 1998. You play your season, recruit, redshirt, customize schedules, repeat. There are no magazine covers. No discipline. No student-athlete mode. Nothing. Just the bare minimum.

If you're wanting an in-depth game, I recommend saving $10 and grabbing NCAA 07 for either PS2 or XBox. It's just not worth it for 360. Not at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars NCAA = Sorry excuse for a game, July 20, 2006

This review is from: NCAA Football 2007 (Video Game)

Every year for the past 3 or 4 years me and my brother have played an NCAA dynasty where we play on the same team, set the level to heisman, pick a horrible team (to make it a challenge), and run nothing but option no matter what the scenario is (4th and 30.....still run the option). Then we save and export our draft classes to Madden until our roster is full of NCAA players we recruited and we ultimately win championships in both games with the same players. Well, this years NCAA does not allow people to play on the same team, so ultimately this tradition is ruined!!!!! Not only did NCAA ruin the college game, but this is going to ruin Madden as well. Thanks for nothing EA sports.
