Article detailing some of the new features for the 2008 version, this comes not a moment too soon, since fans have been upset with the recent versions' lack of innovation and features. The suprise cover is given to the QB for Boise, who has led the Broncos to a 32-5 record as starter, and upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Game will incorporate the winning Statue of Liberty play from that game, in addition to rating users on their abilities, not the abilities of a computer controlled player catching a bad pass. Recruiting also sees a face-lift in the area of ease of use.

Selecting a player to be on the front of a video game has been anything other than an exact science. There has been a stigma attached to players on the front of the Madden Football boxes known as the "Madden Curse".
The college games have to deal with a different process because current college student athletes are not allowed to be on the covers due to NCAA rules. Selecting a player that was hot the year before has been the common practice for the most part. Sadly the players they select often times do not amount to much after their years with their college teams.
A new NCAA Football Gameplay video
I am impressed with the demo for this game despite the fact I have thought the next-gen versions of NCAA and Madden have been subpar up to now (to their credit, they have been getting better). Maybe this is finally the year "next-gen" gameplay/responsiveness can match "last-gen's".
I am a huge football fan so loving NCAA football & Madden are in my genes..but as of late I have not been impressed with them. I recently played NCAA football 07 and did enjoy it but I cant really say the same for Madden at all like I still think that Madden on PS2 is more enjoyable but anyways my overall point is that it is about time that some NEW feats and innovations get incorporated into the NCAA & Madden franchises. SO we know NCAA is doing some changes and one can only hope that Madden will do the same.
id agree cause it needs something new and innovative and i think this is what it needs
