EA's NCAA 2008 Football

Recommended Posts

I like it compared to the 2007 game.

Challenging spots, int's, fumbles....etc...etc...etc...I just wish I could challenege a call more then once though. The backgrounds are a lot better as well.

My 3rd year in, I have some great speed at the RB, and DB positions. Wish it were like that in real life.

I don't like it as much... No momentum meter and in Legend mode, I don't like that you can't play defense as well as offense.

I also enjoyed having to answer questions to keep your GPA up in 2007..

One thing that makes '08 harder is having to upgrade your depth chart position.. You can be a money HS recruit but end up as a 3rd stringer if that team already has a great starting QB... No givens like 2007..

I do like playing as a HS kid to earn your stripes to get recruited.. I splurged with a PS3 and HDMI HD cables, so I'm totally impressed with the graphics... Not to mention, I now have a Blue Ray Disc player..

I played out Utah's 2007 season, went undefeated and won the NC but Boise and Hawaii were both right on my heels in the BCS rankings, even with Utah's tougher schedule. Played Ohio State for ht e NC...

On to year two..

Nice!

Like I said, I am on year 3, and won the NC on year 2. My first year was OK. I played in the Vegas bowl and beat Stanford.

Second year I played in the NC game and beat Ohio State.

3rd season, I am ranked #8, and my next game is against tecas, which they are ranked 3rd in the country. Have you been invited to a new conference yet? I was in year 2. I took it. But kept the Utah rivalry, along with the Wyoming rivalry. Utah is ranked at 6 right now, in front of me and TCU is ranked at #11 right now. So I am pissed that my last game is against Utah, which both teams could be undefeated. If this is the case, it will be a hell of a game. The winner should go to the NC game. And no, If utah beats me, I will not do the whole re-set thing. Although, my first year, I was very temted to do so.

I need to upgrade, hopefully this Christmas...(wish list to my wife) to the X-box 360. I would like to play this game against someone on the internet. I bet it is a blast.

I am a poor college student so all I have is the regular XBOX. But all the stuff UteNation mentioned about the game is missing this year is still in the regular XBOX game. I forgot to study for like two months and was put on academic probation for two games until I got my GPA above a 2.0. I was to concerned with improving my skills. But you can also play Offense and defense in the regular version. I have played it on a friends XBOX 360 but the controls are all backwards from the regular so he kicks m +++.

Overall I like it, they could have got a little more creative with Corso and gangs lingo, but other than that no real big complaints.

I bought the 360 version, didn't like it, sold it on ebay, bought the xbox version, and love that one. The only thing that I miss from the 360 version is super sim. That is really helpful when you're blowing a team out.

My one dynasty I do, I play as 4 teams- BYU, my custom school, FAU, and Utah State. I like playing as the bad teams for the challenge. With the Utah State QB, on heisman difficulty, I ran for 223 yards, and passed for 307 yards against San Jose St.

Does anyone else think EA Sports is in love with UNLV, and hate BYU. I sim the season, and UNLV has a 9 win season most of the time, and BYU averages around winning 4 games. This happens every year, I swear.

Also, am I the only one who is bugged about how it's only black athletes at all the fast positions, and only white athletes on O-line and QB?

I don't have a game console, but I thought about buying this for a PC. I have a decent PC (upper end but not top of the line), so I was wondering if any of you have tried the sports games on the comp? I'm a little hesitant to buy it if it sucks on the PC.

Your right about this. Every year in my UNLV dynasty BYU has always sucked. Don't know why. Anyway I'm 4 years deep and the Rebel Express has already left the MWC for the greener pastures of the Pac-10. We left you Stanford though so the collective GPA of the MWC should improve.

I have it for PS# and the game could be much better. It's almost like they didn't have enough time to finish it. Should be better next year but I'm slightly dissapointed. I only play dynasty so all the net play has no effect for me. I also don't listen to the commentary so I don't care about that. I like the expanded playbooks but hate you can't create your own playbook or a school.

Never tried it on a PC. I didn't think it came in that format. I am probabbly wrong, as I am not the best tech guy on this board.

I can't use a PS2. The controls are two small for me. The regular X-box rocks. I am really enjoying it.

Nope, I think you are right. I couldn't find it. I assumed that because Madden was available in PC format that NCAA 08 would be to...my bad.

I have it on 360. I finished 10-2 in my first year losing to UCLA and Louisville. I was invited to the Big 12 after the first season in exchange for Baylor. I won a NC in season 2.

I'm not impressed with the 08 version. I like some of the updates over 2007 like no more lame celebration penalties after almost every touchdown. It's also harder to recruit in this version. I don't like how you have to recruit every week. It takes up too much time to go through recruiting between every game.

"Had to come back real quick for this one.....

Boise St finished 4th in the coaches poll, same as Utah. Had Petersen violated the rules and voted Boise St #1 like Whittingham, Boise St would have finished no worse than THIRD and very likely 2nd. Look at how few votes seperated BSU and Florida.
