NCAA 08
Every year this series just keeps getting better and better...and this year the best part of the game just got even better...and that is the recruiting with a more indepth in season recruiting. The "My Shrine" room gives you a lot to hold your interested even if you not playing the game...

Lots of fun!!
I'm not a big online gamer, in fact I don't get too much time to devote to any games, however the time I have had to try out this year's installment of the NCAA 08 has been a joy. Usually I am not a big "extras" fan, but the additions of the "Shrine" and other extras are nice additions.
the gameplay is realistic and fun. Really enjoy pitting tiny schools against the likes of USC etc.
Highly recommend this one.

EA Ruins What Was Once a Great Game
I've been playing the games of this series for years. Previously, it was not uncommon to go through a game and not have a penalty called. Now, in a bizzare reversal, I've permanently shelved this game because the playability has been destroyed by too many penalties.
In the options screen, there are sliders for the penalties. When I noticed a disproportionate amount of holding penalties being called, I adjusted the slider down. I just shut the game off just now after the 8th holding penalty was called in the first quarter alone with the slider at 0%.
Unbelieveable. This game gets a big, fat 1 star and two middle fingers. Hopefully, my nerdy video game dreamworld will be rebuilt by Madden 08, as the college game will serve no other purpose than to provide draft classes for my Madden Franchise.

not what is advertised
This game is better than the previous versions, but (a huge but)this game is not what was advertised.
The ps3 version was advertise, with all the recruiting additions, and this version is the same old thing.
I wish I would have know this because I would have bought the ps3 and the ps3 version of the game, but now I feel lied too, so I won't buy the ps3.
Still this is a good game that is better.

Still good, but pretty much the same as 07.
This is a great game and I still enjoy getting the newer version every year. Over the past two years, not much has changed. I will tell you what has changed... the new stadium flyby at the beginning of the game. The spring drills, similar to the Madden drills that help you boost your player(s) ratings are now featured in the pre-season mode. The in-season recruiting mode has switched to pre-season, to give you a jump start on recruiting. If you make a great play you can go the instant replay feature and take a Polaroid of the big hit, or amazing play, then save it to your memory card by pressing L3. The home field advantage crowd noise feature has upped its pulse to over 120db (the previous game had a ceiling of 120db). The game also has a deke stick move to help the QB avoid a sack, or side-step a sack, same goes for RBs. These are a few of the new features that separate the game from previous years.
If you are looking for something different, I would suggest getting the PS3 version of this game. From what I've seen the graphics and gameplay are incredible.
