Official NCAA Football 07 Thread

Sure it's not the NFL, but we can all appreciate the college game.  Let's use this thread to talk about the new NCAA Football game.

NCAA Football 07 hits shelves on July 18, that's 10 days away.

So, who's excited?  I'm getting it for the 360 and I'll be happy that I have something new to play.

I love Madden but have never played NCAA. If i can get a job i will consider getting it.thetombradyhate

Well you should play it because there is a lot of features in the game and there are many teams to play with.

NCAA is a bigger challenge than Madden in Dynasty mode because every game counts and it's a challenge to stay #1 throughout the season or try to get a higher ranking. There's also a lot of things you can do in the off season. Recruiting is a huge part because you get to scout players and see how they are. The features in Madden get repetitive with each new game and with NCAA there are a lot new features added each year.

From www.maddenantion.com We just got word from EA that an NCAA 2007 demo will be up on XBL Marketplace soon. The playable demo will be Florida vs. Florida St. at the Swamp. ***Updated*** The NCAA 07 has fully passed MS certification, and will be released to Xbox Live Marketplace today. It will be propped within the next few hours.geaux321

What? really awesome!.

I haven't decided yet what team I'll be using.  Either UT, Texas Tech, or some team in the Sun Belt, as I want to take on North Texas a couple times.wallymartin

Cmon wally, go the UT way....you cant go wrong. :)

My impressions:
First thing I notice is man that really looks like the Swamp, very pretty and the orange is abundant.  You get 1 minute quarters.  Kicking off was different as it has changed to the Right Analog stick, but its for the better than just hitting a button twice and it seems to be a little bit harder to get it right.  Another thing I notice is the interface before the play is called, many different buttons to call for your linebackers, defensive-line, and defensive-backs which will take some time to get used to.  I tried the Jump the snap feature and really got close to blocking a FG, I was so excited because I never get close not it is within my grasp.  The animations are very fluid and I notice several different tackle animations and there are quite a few more animations after the play is over.  The play selection screen will take some time to get used to, but I have to build the perfect playbook first, but I like the fact that you only use one button to call a play instead of the X, A, or B buttons which sometimes I hit the wrong one.  I like how the game feels when running and throwing, very fluid.  The crowd looks great and even the people on the sidelines aren't cut-outs anymore, which just adds to the atmosphere.

Overall I can't wait for this game, as always, as most of you know I'm a college football nut, and this is one game that I never miss, it will be in my 360 for months to come.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. geaux321

I also like the idea of using one button for playcalling, same reason.

I have a question about the kicking game.  Do you pull the stick back and push it forward in order to kick, similar to how you swing in Tiger Woods Golf and shoot a free throw in NBA Live?  I don't know if you've played the 06 versions of those games, but if that's how the kicking game is done, I'm in favor of it.

Yeah i downloaded it, geez 1.05 gigs! dam that took a while. But it was worth the wait. I do have to get used to the gameplay since i lost twice my first 2 times, i got picked off alot lol all american mode is a bit hard in next gen. once you get used to it though its not as hard. Graphics look great the atmosphere is awesome. I cant wait for this game, only a couple of more days.Espurs117

I hear you! I lost my first two and then won the third game by kicking a field goal to make it 13-10 at the end. I went to bed after that. I can't wait to play it again! Only five days!

is kicking gunna be like that in Madden?thetombradyhate

Madden will have the same from what I hear. The kicking is way more fun! I also like the stick on offense. I love how it's not just for trucking people.

All i know is that the one with Fitzgerland on the cover was the worst one because your receievers kept droping passes at least it happend to me and my brother alot and alll my friends.Espurs117

Yeah, I couldn't understand why you would have a receiver on the cover of the game when they always played terrible in the game. I always threw my controller when they dropped a pass on 3rd down.

I think its really stupid when they put players on the cover of an NCAA game when they are not actually in the game, don't you guys think that is stupid?thetombradyhate

Well some of the players that are on the covers are on the Legendary Rosters so you can play as them. Since the player is no longer in college, they are allowed to put a picture of that player on the cover without breaking any regulations.
