I'll pick it up on 7/31. You shouldn't pressure me to pick it up any earlier because you're going to need all of the headstart you can get so I don't completely humiliate you this year.

Is not getting hit with 5 delays of game part of your scheme? Because it should be.

Guys,
Let's hear some impressions of the Xbox 360 version of NCAA Football. This is supposed to be the game that forces me to buy a 360 and I haven't heard too much about it here.

It still has room for improvement but is MUCH better then NCAA07 was. I am not a big fan of the Campus Legend simply because I prefer controlling all aspects of the game. The dynasty mode has improved and I think every area of the game is better.
You are not buying a console solely because of one game. I know you probably did not mean that but there is plenty to keep you busy on the 360. You could spend a month downloading demos and playing them. Then some XBL Arcade games (all of which can be demoed). |

After almost two weeks I have some minor complaints about NCAA 08:
1. There seem to be a lot of dropped passes. I've had a ton of perfectly good throws dropped by my receivers. I don't think the passing game is broken, but it does frustrate me at times.
2. The angles that the CPU defensive players take on the ball carrier. Outside runs work too well against the CPU. This wasn't as big of an issue against a human opponent though.
3. I'm also seeing a lot of picks thrown by the CPU QB, but this is a non-factor against a live person.
Other than those minor issues, it's a very good game.

I'm not seeing #1 or #2, but I'm DEFINITELY struggling with #3 on the 360. Slider tweaking is a must in this department, or it could truly ruin the game. I'm getting 3-4 per game, with at least one returned for a TD. Hopefully, we can figure out a work-around.
Unlike Brent, I really like CL mode. It makes it into an RPG of sorts, and it's easy to progress in your career quickly with Supersim.
