OKAY, SURRENDER NOW. THIS TIME WE MEAN IT: NCAA '07

Wow, finally some good memories in a bowl game for us…and to think, Michigan almost lost that Outback Bowl

Let us give you a quote from the Outback Bowl’s recap of the game:

“For all the problems Michigan tailback Chris Perry gave Florida on the field, nothing matched what Gators coach [NAME REDACTED] did to his own team.”

Really interesting how the one dude said he would have liked to add a I-AA Dynasty and playoff system. I think it would be interesting to be able to take teams from lower levels, build them up over time, and stick them into the I-A game. I always thought it was too easy to take lower or mid-major programs and build them into title winners. Also, as someone who still plays with the ‘05 game, does anyone know if they fixed the dynasty mode to get some of the crappy teams from winning national titles every year? I still don’t understand how North Texas would be ranked in my Top 5.

the one thing i am desperate to see EA do is to add a weekly “highlights” show….if NHL 93 can show highlights…so can they.

Adam,

I know in the 2006 game you could replace current 1A teams with 1AA teams and play with them in Dynasty mode. I’m pretty sure that was an option in 2005 as well. As far as the bad teams becoming great…I didn’t notice it as much in 2006. It could just be that I was used to it from 2005, but I think they did take some measures to correct that little snafu.

DAMN YOU NINTENDO GAMECUBE!!!!!

Moving the slot reciever to the backfield….This screams for Tyrone Prothro. I cant wait for this game. This will be a super timesink.

I believe it’s like the kids say…
 “It’s on, bitches!”

So basically, if your Florida on this game, your gonna whip some ass because all your friggin plays will work and everyone else will suck it down the drain against them.

Good lord.

If it’s anything like it used to be, Tiburon is pretty much divided in half between Gator and Nole fans (with a few Cane stragglers).

And if you noticed the Gator sounds/chants were especially accurate in the late 90s…

:)

the bullshit smell thats masked by our sweaty desperation for a new ncaa is coming straight from ea and their exclusive rights deal. it sounds like they’re putting some wonderful new features in the games (expanded playbooks, exponential leaps in stadium realism, et al). the problem is that they’re spreading them out generationally across the consoles so that each version is a “unique experience”. i have a ps2, a gamecube, an xbox and a 360 but i am only going to buy 1 ncaa ‘07 and i don’t want to choose between a swampier swamp or a deeper playbook. i want both in stunning next gen hi-def. ea cocksuckers.

Adam said: “I still don’t understand how North Texas would be ranked in my Top 5.”

Speaking to the 2005 game, I’m not privy to the algorithm they used, but i noticed that the two biggest things you could do to excel in recruiting (and in turn, building your school’s quality) was to 1) be in a good recruiting state, and 2) win conference championships.

As such schools in FL, Cal, Tex, or OH that played in (and won) poo-poo conferences would rise to the top over time. That’s why the 2035 top three teams would include the player’s team and some combination of: Fresno State, North Texas, Miami (OH) or Central Fla.
