This year's EA college football game gives players a lesson in leadership. Impact players, aka ballers with high ratings, will be able to trigger "lead by example" events that impact each player's morale. Score a touchdown with an impact player, a chain-reaction of good feelings spread to the rest of the team, which in turn, boosts each player's performance.

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 so in need of a good football game. Madden 06 was so bad for the 360 that I didn't bother with any game last year. I was hoping 2K All pro football would be the game I would get but now with indications hat they wont use the standard American football rule set I am back to looking for great football game. I always liked NCAA on the Xbox but I have lost a lot of faith in EA sports on the next gen consoles. I refuse to pay $60 for a game that leaves out stuff that is in the game they sell for the last generation.
This should be the first football game fully designed for the next gen consoles so I have hope. Still not much for Madden but for NCAA. I like the college football atmosphere more anyway.
The named rosters are open for preorders at this site below. I got last years preorder for the xbox 360 without any issues. Really opened up the game.
