EA Sports NCAA Football 08 sees its demo released on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Features USC vs Michigan.
BristolPress writes: "This week Sports Editor and I come back together and take an in-depth look in the pros and cons of NCAA College Football games and Madden games, to figure out which one is the superior football experience."
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".
any confirmation about this yet? is it available in the UK?
i would rather have OSU vs MICHIGAN
And the first thing I noticed was how smooth the gameplay was at 60 FPS. They also have gotten rid of the cutscenes before the snap, which isn't a bad move really. The one thing I didn't like (but it may have just been a coincidence) was that there were a lot of fumbles occurring.
