NCAA Football 07

Excellent game. I have this game myself & my recent purchase was 4 a friend. Highly recommended.

I picked this game up, after having several NCAA games before & I have 2 say, what EA did with this one is fantastic! They have made it more tough than previous ones, & the new features they have added are great. Graphic wise, it could not be better. Seeing as right now, there are two newer versions out there, I would say, 4 the price you can pick this one up for, do it, it is well worth it.

When I began playing this game I had a hard time winning on the All-American difficulty setting, but after a season of taking some lumps I went on 2 win two consecutive National Championships. I really enjoyed both the in & off season player recruiting, as I got better & more savvy I was able 2 attract more top players. My 3rd & last season playing at All-American I was really destroying the opposition by 30-40 point margins, culminating with a blow out win in the National Championship. As I had done previously with Madden I felt it was time 2 "move up" in difficulty level, I had a period of adjustment with Madden but eventually learned how 2 sustain a drive & exploit weaknesses in the AI & consistently won. On the other hand, when playing a top team in the Heisman mode of NCAA the game is virtually impossible 2 beat. After three seasons of solid recruits my team rates an A+ on both offense & defense. While 2 defense holds up decently in Heisman mode the offense is impossible. My o-line with every lineman 90+ overall can't stop a three man rush...I usually have 2-3 seconds (when I'm lucky) 2 throw the ball 2 receivers who can't get open & who have linebackers out running them. If I do manage 2 get the ball 2 them as soon as they make the catch somebody crushes them & the ball comes loose. The passing game is frustrating & it's impossible 2 get into any kind of rhythm against a top team. The running game is even worse, unless you run in a non-running situation, like 3rd & 7 out of a shotgun formation, the computer D blows up the run out of the I-formation or goal line sets every time on first & second down. In essence, game play against the top teams in Heisman mode becomes so impossible so as 2 make the game a boring, frustrating defensive struggle & a battle of field goals. I no longer have fun playing the game but do not want 2 go back 2 playing All-American due 2 the relative ease. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted...the game gave me two competitive seasons, one season that was too easy, & one season of the most unfair & unbalanced AI I have ever seen in a video football game. EA should make an effort 2 make the Heisman mode more balanced. NCAA football was an interesting foray but I believe better & more fair (relatively speaking) game play is 2 be had on the All-Madden mode of the Madden 2007.

The 2007 edition of the EA video game franchise has new features, like Campus Legend, where your player decides whether he goes the 2 the NFL or stay as a college coach, & Spring Drills, where your favorite team square off in a Spring-time scrimmage. Above all else, there are still the same game modes from the previous NCAA Football games like Rivalry Game, Mascot Game, Dynasty & a selection of Div.1-Football Championship Subdivision teams. This is the great video game 2 pass the time & can be used with only the Madden 2007 game.

I bought this, played it 4 about a month, & then got insanely sick of it. I just love how when your team does well all season, travels 2 an important away game, & then decides 2 fumble every single time it gets the ball. I'm not kidding. I play at USC, & my team literally fumbles 9 times! How realistic is that? This happened at least once every single season. Does EA really think that this is how college football works? I could understand if the other team's defense plays harder, or if you throw the occasional interception, but fumbled handoffs, kickoff returns, punt returns, wide receiver plays, all in one game! Come on!
