I've got it, I've played a game and half(my 360 froze up half-way through the 2nd game, let's hope it's a one-time occurance), and my initial reactions aren't very good. 

For starters, I absolutely despise the menus.  Maybe after I'm used to them it'll be easier for me to deal with them, but for now, I hate them.  And calling plays isn't very fun either.  There's very little organization in it, so I feel like I'm calling plays at random instead of deciding what I want.  In actual play, I don't feel like I'm doing much of anything, as the plays are over really fast and it looks more like everyone is just jumbled up.

As I said, these are just my initial reactions.  I need more time with it before I can judge it more thoroughly.

this is what I was scared of. I'm a PS guy and this was my first time getting it on 360 for obvious reasons. what got me was 1: control layout (but you can manualy change it so it's okay), 2: over emphasis on other things besides gameplay, and 3: onlineplay. Last night i played with my friend and twice the connection froze right before the 2nd half. wasn't happy about that. Anybody know when the themes and pics are coming out?

How is your initial reaction of this game compared to your initial reaction when you played NCAA 06?

I just finished my first game as Auburn, and I can say wow, this game is beautiful.  The stadium was crisp and things looked to be in order like they are in real life.  I noticed towards the end of the game it was getting darker, as I was playing one of those late afternoon games, and it was great to see that.  Also, towards the end of the game, my helmets had scratches and dirt on them, which I thought looked cool.  Overall the gameplay was great, not that much different from the demo, but it was still very fluid and there seemed to be a good bit of new tackle animations and other animations as well.  I don't really like how the Dynasty menu is layed out, but over time I will get adjusted to it and hopefully I will feel right at home.  Another thing about the gameplay is they have some guys way overrated, well just one that I noticed, but i'm not complaining.  Tre Smith, HB #22 for those of you who don't know, he's a little on the high side, he's got a return rating of 98 (if it's not that, it's in the high 90's), and I returned a kickoff for a TD with him, but in real life he's got a fumble problem, I can remember at least 3 times where he fumbled a punt, but as I said, i'm not gonna complain.

In summation, the game is beautiful as college football is, and the gameplay is great so far and I expect it to get better.

yo people who have the 360 version could you guys give me an in depth description of the dyasty mode and online.  Is this game anything like madden..I want to know this because I dont like not having names in a sports game and I havent really followed college football since michigan( my favorite team) lost john navvare and chris perry.  So what I really want to know is...is it worth the buy even for a person that likes college football but isnt a huge hardcore fan.

Have you ever bought or played the dynasty in a NCAA game, because it's still the same.

Well in that version I think the main difference is they have the In-season recruiting, but you still redshirt players, customize your schedule and recruit players after the year has ended. And, i'm sure someone will post their review of the online play, i'm not a big fan of it.

Ok just finished my first game winning 34-10 with my Michigan boys and I have a few thoughts about it. The new kicking system was a little confusing which caused me to miss my first extra point, i did get the hang of it later. I also HATED that new camera view on the kick and punt returns, i couldnt do anything cause i couldnt tell how close the defenders were to me. I really liked the graphics as well(i have the Xbox version) the stadiums were beautiful. The defense was well improved, i liked the jump the snap feature since i have found it near impossible to block a kick or punt in past games. The new trick plays were cool as well and the ability to cancel a kick or punt with the press of a button and throw or scramble with it was awesome. The new campus legend mode seemed cool as well even though i didnt get into it that much yet. Overall i really liked it and look forward to spending more time playing it(and probably getting addicted to it) I would probably give it a 9.3/10 .

How is your initial reaction of this game compared to your initial reaction when you played NCAA 06?

Actually, the only other NCAA game I've played was 03.  And so far, I like that one better.

Because they were 3-8 last year and only one team they faced on their schedule was ranked. They also won no games on the road and that's something you have to do impress the AP voters.

Alright, I've played some more and I'm only getting happier with this game.  Although I still don't like them, I'm much more used to the menus and general on-screen usage.  Playcalling has become more fluid for me, especially on defense, because it's no longer just picking random plays.  The animations in the game are amazing, as are the very detailed graphics.  I'm thinking its becoming too easy though, cause I just blew out Oklahoma 70-15 on All-American.

Still love it, since my first game i've beaten up on Western Michigan, and Notre Dame(well not so much them) but Mike Hart, Chad Henne, and Steve Breaston have been lighting it up for me. I've also enjoyed playing some of those spring drills as they can get quite addictive. I also like wally found the animations cool, i love it when Hart breaks someones ankles and they slow it down in that impact camera or whatever its called. Still not liking at all the kickoff return camera, does anyone know how to turn it off:question: Its so annoying i cant return anything for good yardage.

Does anyone have the Xbox version? I don't know whether to get the Xbox version instead of the 360 version because that got a lower rating.

Yes i do have the Xbox version. I like it a lot as you can read from some of my previous posts. And from what i've read here and other places, the 360 version isn't as good.

My favorite part so far is taking snapshots of my big plays. :D  I've already got a nice selection.  I'm also really liking the in-season recruiting.
