With new features added NCAA football makes a lead at the goal line but still comes inches away from greatness
You might be asking me how the gameplay is considering it has been the weak point for the past 3 years on the next gen consols. Well this year they tried to add more life into the game with the addition of cheerleader and more people on the side lines. They even brought back the toughest places to play and you can now ice the kicker. Icing the kicker works really well against freshman or sophmore kickers. Those are some nice needed features that make the game more relistic. Its these little things people have been complaining about for a while now. Oh and no there is no refs on the field yet. They featured a new runing break away system and it really dont feel any diffrent then any other year. Yes u have good juke moves and spin moves but its really hard to run the ball sometimes. Then other times u can get lucky and break a good run if you follow your blockers some of the way but then 8 yards down field they will just get in your way.
The passing game has not been changed at all as it is still way to easy to pass. you will be putting up rediculious numbers as you play against the computer or a friend it dont matter it will all be the same. Defence has been downgraded i belieave, Yes it is easy to stop the run very easy but stoping the pass is another story its almost impossible. You think you have the computer stopped and then they just run a slant route and pick up the first down almost every time it gets really frustrated. When someone throws the ball down the field and you know you could pick off the ball if your able to switch to the guy you want most of the time it will just switch to a line backer 20 yards away from the ball and they make the catch. Other then those few complaints the gameplay is much improved but also could be much better next year.
Some of you may wonder why im not mentioning the campus legend of offline dynasty well that would be becasue campus legend has seriously not been touched nothing and i mean nothing has changed since last year. The dynasty only had a very few minor changes like a quick call option for your recruites which enables you to instead of trying to find what the recruit is intreasted in you can quick call for 5-60 minutes and have the computer give it a shot. Its a nice feature to try and speed the recruiting process up but sometimes i dont think it does as good as i think it could. Thats all really that has been changed in the dynasty. Oh forgot to mention on thing i know many people are wonder no there is no 1-AA teams still. Why? Well not even i know.
The graphics in this game are a little bit better then last year but nothing exstreamly better from the past years. The sound is good with lee corso and kirk hirbstreet coming back with there great comitating skills im glad to see they bad another comeback to the game. sometimes you can hear the fans yelling out at your players if you do something wrong and the hits just sound better to me this year.
I myself have been playing this game since it has came out im in love with i think it dont get enough repsect by reviewrs its a great game that will make any college football fan happy.
