NCAA football finally makes its debut on the 360. Using a modified XBOX 360 Madden 2006 engine, this game makes a nice first attempt at a college football game. The player graphics and the physics look great, especially in between plays and cut scenes. You will be in awe when you see the lighting off the player’s helmets, even more so if you have a high definition TV. The gameplay has been improved from the style of Madden 2006, giving a more realistic feel to the game. The commentary is good, and does not make you want to throw your controller through a wall when there is a dumb comment. This may be an improvement, but there are some issues though in the games tendency to “skip” with frames jumping or a play being executed choppy. This is even more apparent when playing online. This makes it very difficult to play defense because you always feel a step behind. The extra features that were not included in this version that are on the original XBOX system are disheartening. The features in the XBOX 360 version would be comparable to an NCAA release back in 2001, when comparing the features. I would love to have the “create a college” feature over tug-of-war any day. Plus, not all the real stadiums are in this game, which is upsetting when my Alma matter's stadium is absent. I must say that the achievements make any XBOX 360 user want to play the game more, and this is no exception. I think EA is realizing that they have made their previous games a bit too easy in their achievement goals. Final word – if you only have an XBOX 360, this is a great game to hold you over until Madden 2007 comes out, though if you have an original XBOX, this game might be better played on the old system due to the massive extras and smoothness of the gameplay.Read full review

The best thing about this game is the College Football Atmosphere. This game brings to life all the great things that go on during a college football game like fan reactions, mascot going crazy, bands, and last but not least the momentum. The gameplay for this game could improve. The players kind of run stiffly and dont make the smoothest cuts. The graphics and player design are awesome, they will take your breath away! Great graphics with decent gameplay make this game a good game and deffinitly worth buying on ebay! One of the major downfalls to me is that there is no more play maker feature. There used to be a feature that allowed you to design and make your own formations and plays to form your own playbook. If the gameplay got a little smoother and they added the make your own playbook feature, this would be a GREAT game.Read full review
