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".
... '07 and '08 look like the exact same game to me. Although I do love how '08 is now linked to the WeatherChannel.com so that you can get actual weather conditions.
I was hoping for a bigger leap in gfx quality this time around. What's up EA??? Just take a look at the sideline. A rb can break off a run for 90 yards and everyone on the sideline could care less. No emotion shown to what's going on in the game.
this game looks boring as hell as well as the field action does to .the side line is dull .matter of fact it looks like the same lame game as 07 and 06 .where the hell are the refs on the field and the side line refs, line of scrim etc. E.A.i'm sorry but this wackness just isn't going to cut it this time around .it just doesn't look real to life .thx the football videogame gods for 2k being back in the game cuz yet again i wouldn't of brought any football this year.god is great .
I think the graphics are actually a little better than 2007. The players don't have steroid arms and everything looks touched up very nicely. And now with gang tackling and stuff it looks to be a good game...plus I just need a college football game to bring to college this year.
I also noticed that at the end of the video, some of the screenshots that said "08" were actually screenshots used before "07" came out.
