NCAA Football 08 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like the previous NCAA football games, this one's exceptionally fun to play, but simply built upon the previous titles. The last NCAA game I bought was NCAA 06, and frankly, there are so many similarities between the two, it left me awfully disappointed. When attempting to customize players (faces), the exact same options were available to me. When starting a new game, the exact same commentary are provided by the exact same three guys. Essentially, NCAA 08 is the what it was before, but now with features Madden got years ago. While this game is still great, I suggest trying the next gen versions so that you can fully enjoy the many new features and the graphics that they boast. If you're stuck with a last gen system, then NCAA 08 is still a great buy.
New:
- Slightly smarter AI, they don't just roll over and die for you
- Campus Legend mode attempts to provide the player with some education via the "studying" and "tutoring" you can get in the game.
- Two trick plays? The "Statue" and "Circus" (aka Hook and Ladder). The Hook and Ladder is almost impossible to pull off successfully during a game.
-Better recruiting system
-Many Madden features(a suitable hit/highlight stick, drills to increase stats, defensive hot routes, etc.)
-Motion plays
Old:
-Commentary (word for word the exact same commentary from the past few titles)
-Player celebrations are exactly the same from the past few titles.
-Each game starts off the exact same way as in the previous titles
-Everything else UPDATE!!
THIS GAME IS FLAWED!!!
When making "Promises" to recruits and players.. some promises carry on forever. Say you make a promise to player A and you fail to keep it. From then on, every year, you will have a player saying you promised him the same thing, even if you didn't really promise him anything at all. So you could have a LOLB saying you promised him the RT position.. and when you don't give it to him, he leaves. It's ridiculous cause it year after year, you will lose a prized recruit for a broken promise you never made.
ALSO, the blocking AI is ridiculous. You can have line men going for safeties rather than going for people right in front of them.
