I do still have 06 and would be happy to try a few games of that to see if we can get something going.
I remember seeing that pass in game one and commenting to my stepson "Right now Jason is getting pissed."  It feels like they make up for most passes being on target by throwing in the random drops. Wish they could design an engine that made the quarterback more inaccurate instead because this way just feels like manipulation and I hate feeling like the outcome is completely out of my control. |

Let's give 06 a shot sometime soon. I'm going to play a few games of 06 offline and see how it compares to 08. I cranked up the QB Accuracy and Receiver Catching ability and it helped a little with 08 offline.

I played 06 and 08 last night and realized that 08 has some good qualities that I'd miss like the offensive and defensive line adjustments, the better running game with more animations and smoother gameplay.
I'm able to fix the dropped passes (to a degree) with slider adjustments and also noticed that setting the QB's feet before he throws helps reduced dropped passes quite a bit. It's a shame that slider adjustments can't be used online and you're stuck with the horrible first-person camera too. Ted, the camera view on your onside kick in our game last night was ridiculous - my view was almost from your kicker's foot and on an angle that didn't show half of my team. I'm also not seeing the online glitches offline (receivers getting stuck in motion and not being able to hike the ball).
This may just have to be an offline game for me this season.

I changed my mind again (aren't you shocked
 ). I put it up for sale on Amazon.com: NCAA 08

You don't even want to play it offline?

I played another game and had 2 of my first 3 on-target passes dropped by wide open receivers. It already sold for $40, so I got most of my money back if you include the $10 gift card from Circuit City. I want credit for my one online victory though
