A wee bit glitchy at times, and the menu's run very slow, other than that, an all around terrific game!
Tons of fun right from the start. The game starts off with a tutorial (can click to leave it) showing off all the new features. One of the simpler, yet cooler features, is the ability to choose certain replay videos and snapshot pictures from the game to add to your "Hall of Fame". It's basically just the background for the game, but its neat cuz it's shows your saved videos up on the big screen. Only bad part about this system, you don't get to take the photos, they're computer chosen and taken. However all the videos and photos have a "greatness rating". I usually keep the ones with over a 1000 greatness points, but its good to look through them cuz some of the not so great shots look really good too!
Next up is the recruiting. Phenominal! I'm not a huge college football fan, I just enjoy the games, so when the word "recruitment" comes up, I run for the hills. However in this years version the recruitment is very well explained and super easy to understand. Enough so that I think it may be my favorite part of the game. Better yet, you get the chance to create your own recruits and try to attract them to your team!!! (I'm using Temple cuz I like to make ****ty teams good, so attracting my A+ created recruit doesn't seem likely). It's definitely a neat little system though.
Onto the bits and pieces of glitchiness. I found that surfing through my depth chart, team roster and statistics is very very very slow. The lagginess of Playstation is expected as its always been laggy, but this is beyond slow. Not to mention, I switched out one Defensive Tackle and when I went to switch out the second, my Defensive Tackle replacements were replaced with Offensive Guards and Tackles. I had to leave the screen, then jump back in to get it to work. Very annoying. Other than that I haven't had any real gameplay glitches.
Like another poster said the players still run like theres a stick up their ass, and they still look like roided up gorillas. It's nice to want to add a bit of graphical detail, but to make every player look like Jose Conseco is just a bit ridiculous. I'm sure you can get around it though for the other game features. If you liked the quickness of the ps2 version, go with that, if you like graphical display, go with the ps3 or 360. That's about all I have to say about the game. Very big thumbs up for making a very in depth NCAA football game!
