New owner of a Xbox 360

Brent,

Originally posted by Brent I went with the Core because I prefer a wired controller to wireless.

I just have to ask: why do you prefer a wired controller to wireless?

Originally posted by Jason Brent,   Does the 360 version of NCAA have the zoomed in camera on special teams and momentum-changing plays?

There is no zoomed in camera on special teams, you also are not able to go into 3rd person mode on those plays. Do not recall seeing any on momentum plays or with a Superstar but I am only a few hours into the game.

Originally posted by Slumberland I'm curious to hear what you think of NCAA... I've played it probably more than maybe any football game in years...maybe neck and neck with 2K5.  It's even got me paying attention to college football for the first time. I also recommend Test Drive, which can probably be found for pretty cheap.  It's a unique game, and offers some great sightseeing.

Well right now I am just getting used to the controls and playing on Varsity. Much too easy (the AI) to get an idea of how good the game really is.  Getting ready to start a dynasty with OU and will comment more once I get a few games under my belt on AA.  One thing is for sure, the games is visually a treat to look at.

I can say NCAA is good enough that I am going to hold off on Madden07.  Same goes with NBA2K7 since CH2K7 is my most anticipated game.


Will jot down Test Drive on my to-play list. I have limited myself to one non-sports game at a time. The big advantage is that once I get to new releases like GOW, COD 3, they will have dropped in price.

On defense where you can switch to the close up 3rd person view of a player to block a kick or punt by pressing a button, I think it was (Y) on the Xbox.

Resistance is futile.  So many deals on Xbox 360's will force you to join me on the darkside. Plus there are a good selection of relatively cheap games available.

I just wish someone would make a motocross game for the 360. I have not seen any mention of one yet.
