    NCAA 2008 is a step in the right direction

    Graphics: Excellent 9/10 The graphics are very well done and they are sharp. You can tell that this game moves at 60 frames per second (FPS) when it goes from close to far shots. Sound: Great – 9/10 The commentary is well done, and you will feel that you are watching / involved in College Gameday on Saturday mornings. Your college’s fight songs are also included, which for any graduate, is a bonus. Gameplay: Great – 9/10 Smooth animations, large playbooks, multiple and deep one player modes – this game has really grown up from last year. Replay Value – Above Average 9.5/10 This is a great college football game. The multiplayer alone gives it a high replay value (though a bit choppy), but the single player experience is there to keep you coming back to take your team to the BCS championship again and again. Overall – 9/10 This edition of NCAA Football by EA is a drastic improvement over last years outing. With additions such as “Super-Sim”, this game is a great addition to an XBOX 360 owner’s catalog. This game is a must for the NCAA College Football fanatic. With plenty of single player options, dynasty modes, “Campus Legend” mode, and the online capabilities of the 360, this game will keep you coming back for more. The smooth gameplay and 60 FPS make this the better college football choice for those of you that have both the PS3 and the 360. This game is deep, and it will keep you deep. This game comes highly recommended.

    Solid College Football Game

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    NCAA 08 is a good college football game. The graphics are quite good from the character models to the stadiums, though there are some pop up issues for the stadiums which hamper the lighting somewhat. The gameplay is solid and has very tight controls. The playbook is packed and the new waves to navigate it are welcome additions. Campus Legend mode is also a new addition, and some of the cool parts of it are playing through high school playoffs and tracking stories on espn.com. I wish you were to play both sides of the ball though, and not solely your player. All of the expected game modes (exhibition, dynasty, season) are present, which round out the package nicely. This game can be recommended to any football fans, and people even some non-fans.

    Freezing issues, Inconsistent recruiting

    Gets Better Every Year

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game as well as Madden seem to get better every new year, on the next gen consoles. This is the best year of NCAA. The Dynasty mode is still a ton of fun, and the superstar mode is not yet perfect, but is getting better. My biggest flaw that I see in this game is the recruiting. As there really seems to be no consistency in how you get recruits to come to your school. To name all the minor flaws would be senseless as, yes there are many, however none of them are really major. The only major flaw is that there is a lot of freezing in this game. It seems as though the game is constantly loading and you always get screens that are locking up. However compared to last years game this is a much more enjoyable version, as it is not as bare. I hope that 2009 will be more like the versions we used to get on the last gen consoles. If you're a big college football fan, and looking for the best you can get on the newer consoles, this is your best, and only choice. Four stars as there is really nothing to compare it to.

    This game is flawless. Graphics are unreal, and the gameplay absolutely dominates madden. The campus legend mode is a great addition to the game, one i personally had been waiting for. Dynasty's always a classic. Overall its a no doubt buy for any football fan, even if you aren't into college football..just as a football game in general it beats all others.

    Great game. This game shows some improvements over the 2007 version. The graphics are great! Lots of things have been added and a lot of things have been fixed. Because of this, I do recommend upgrading to 2008. I'm still waiting on them to change the angles of pursuit, however. 4 1/2 stars.

    this is a great game. if u like NCAA games or u just like football, get this. u can spend hours just running the option play. the campus legend mode is great and it got alot better then it was last year. unfortunitly it did lose momentum meter but it has motivation boosts now. this is a great game for 2 freinds to play each other in or just play the computer.i personally play campus legend for the whole time, and then beat my friends. this is just as good if not better then madden for all you out there wondering.

    Must Buy

    This game is the best of its kind to this day. It has smooth gameplay and amazing graphics. It has even more realistic takles with the new Hit Stick 2.0 were you are able to preform high hit stick tackles and the new part of it-- low hit stick tackles were you slice under the opponent and try to trip them up. It does not feature the momentum meter which was one of the best parts of '07, but this is by far a must buy.

    Best College Football Game Ever

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Each year, fans anxiously await for the release of EA Sports NCAA Football, and this year was no exception. I truly think anyone would love this game with superb graphics and outstanding gameplay. The campus legend mode finally made its way onto the 360 and I love it. The dynasty mode is always great and the new in-depth recruiting makes this one game you will truly want to purchase.

    Amazing game

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game was fantastic, through and through amazing. NCAA 08 is not only a blast to play because of its depth of dynasty mode but its the most durable game I have ever had. I have played it for many straight hours on many straight days and its just as good as the day i picked it up. Dynasty is as good as ever and recruting is somuch fun. The new feature, trophy room is sick you have your favorite teams logo on the floor as your best plays loop and your favorite snap shots are shown, and you can veiw all of your trophies. Be careful when saving highlighs and pictures, they take up a lot of space. I always say this but if you dont like buying the brand new game this game is perfect and 100% worth it. Overall Best NCAA game up 08 basketball or football. Buy it without even considering anything else.

    NOT TOOO BAD

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The best college football game to date. The approach to this game is completely different then previous years. It allows you to micromanage recruiting. Finally! For those who enjoy the experience. Game play is magnificent. You can change plays on the fly like clockwork. Additional statistics on player’s profiles adds flare. The downside is the players all have the same cartoonist body shapes regardless of position. Also, they could of kept some items simple.

    I have had this game for 6 months now and I love it. The only problem with it is there are way to many INTs. If you can get past lots of those you will love it.

    Upgrade over Ncaa 07

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Alright, Ncaa 2008 makes a big jump forward from where Ncaa 07 went a couple miles back. Overall, it was real fun, it will keep u coming back for more. the recruiting was alot more difficult and takes up more time. but i feel it was worth it to make it a good game. the game play was a step up over Ncaa 07. it looked more fluid and made pplayin the game look easy.

    This game is a major improvement over 2007. The Dynasty mode is great and recruiting is fun after you learn the new system. The addition of the Weather Channel link makes it like real time at each stadium. Online play is great. I definitely recommend this game, the new player animations and gang tackles and mid air hits are great. If you don't buy this year, you should definitely get next year's edition.

    This game is great if they keep it up it is going to be like you are in the game it self. They do need to work on the online play a little bit so it dont lag. But everything else is great like the tackles they look so real it is amazing and I also like how you can play the last four games of your high school carrer that is cool to well that about wrapes it up go and get it. Its worth the money for sure.

    Worth the Money

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I buy College Football every year and this year EA did great work on improving this title. There are still some things that they need to work on but the gameplay has improved greatly. Right away you will notice that this year the gameplay is much more smoothly as in comparison to NCAA Football 2007 played very slowly. Overall, this is a great game and playing online makes it very much worth the 59.99

    most realistic ncaa football game ever

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It is a more realistic passing system. On 07 you can throw into tight coverage a complete the pass, but not on this one. It makes you look around for the open guy and not your favorite reciever. Intercepting a pass is to easy to me on the game. Get this game the best NCAA football game ever made!!!

    This game is by far the best football game out for the XBox 360. This game now has a campus legend where you can create a player and even go back to high school and play for the state title! That is amazing! This game by far beats out Madden NFL 08
