July 12, 200520 yr EA shipped mine last night, it will be here this afternoon. Now time to wait for the UPS Guy. hurry up
July 12, 200520 yr I've only played one game so far but here's my early take on it: -Race for the Heisman: cool idea, and i've chosen to be a CB because any offensive position would be rather easy to win the heisman with. Once I get my rosters though, I'll probably play dynasty more since RFTH doesn't let you recruit. -Gameplay: Think '04. I just played my first game on All-American and i beat Pitt 56-3 (default quarter length), so I think it's safe to say the offense got juiced up this year. However, defense is still fun. Sacks don't come as easily as they used to, but the Hit Stick is always a pleasure. Xbox controls are a bit awkward, but I'm sure I'll get used to them. -Graphics and Such: Not Madden good, but damn good. Frame rate is nice, I haven't seen any slowdown yet. Xbox load times are nice, not too long at all. More along the lines of '05 graphics without all the slowness. This game is really well done. I'm not immediately disappointed like I was last year, and I'm very critical of NCAA games (it's my favorite line in the the EA sports series). Early signs point to EA recognizing the problems of last year and addressing them, not just churning out a new game with new features. The only thing that has bothered me is friggin' Desmond Howard on the cover... But I've already fixed that
July 12, 200520 yr I played with it for about an hour so far. Will be doing much more for the next few. Here's my take: Gameplay is GREATLY improved. Everything is alot smoother, alot faster, alot prettier, and a hella lot more fun. The menus are about 10000x better than last year. I know, seems like a small thing, but a slow clunky menu (like last years) can really get on your nerves when your recrutiing and the such. I simmed a year in dynasty, the in-season recruiting is very cool. I was able to nab 3 4 star prospects. Invited them to the PSU game and we won handily, which helped me grab 2 of them. The heisman mode is very cool, just one gripe. They automatically put you in the starting role, no matter who should be in front of you. For me, i'm going to go the realistic way and change the depth chart every game so i have the best guy playing. Overall..........this game's going to be ALOT of fun.
July 12, 200520 yr quick note: i'm oklahoma playing florida @ florida. My reciever scores a touchdown, i press R2+square (celebration trigger) and he mocks the crowd by doing "the chomp" (that stupid gator clap thing) how cool
July 12, 200520 yr Your looking at the New QB of Arizona State, noticed pocket QB RFTH is pretty easy so i botched a couple of throws Edited July 12, 200520 yr by Spod=Ratings
July 12, 200520 yr After being offered scholarships by USC, Texas, and michigan. S. Liccar, the quick QB decided to go to Illinois where he was promised a starting job by Coach Zook.

July 12, 200520 yr well after fooling around w/ the heisman mode all day i finally found a situation i like. I started out as a 84 HB and went to tennesee on scholarship. I'm playign behind riggs, who is a monster, but also a senior. So i'll be the starter next year. In my first game i blew out UAB, so i put myself in for the 4th quarter, ganing 100 yards and 2 TD's. I do like the realism this year, like how really bad mismatches turn into really big blowouts, just based on the speed/skill of the players involved. Since college football is so much more about skill than the NFL is.

I kept it on the option, turned the corner and their Impact Player safety hit sticked me, the scene went in close, then backed out.. I got flat lined and the ball went flying.. in RFTH your player is gonna make some mistakes to start i believe its from being a true freshman and having no composure..
