Not for me, '06 was complete **** in my book. Only game I ever actually returned and got a refund for. Horrible, horrible, horrible game. Of course, I still have fun playing '08, so I'm probably nuts.

I like the 60 fps for PS3 and really love the fact they are going to open up the game more. I hope they speed it up a tad too. Formation audibles and many things sound good (slide protection as well?). They said they added post-game presentation but does that mean no half time shows? Hopefully they add multiple camera angles as well.

The big question for me will be the cpu QB AI. Will they cut down their INTs AND throw deep? But so far so good. I will be buying this day one unless some awful news comes out and says this sucks.

Last year's game was good but not as addicting as some PS2 titles in the past. Fixing the cpu QB AI, opening up the game a little, more presentation and more old features that were missed will really help make it a great game.

I HOPE THEY ARE PLANNING ON IMPROVING THE ANIMATION PARTICULARLY THE QUATERBACK DROP BACK AND TACKLING. IN OTHER WORDS I WISH THEY WOULD INTRODUCE A NEW PHYSICS ENGINE.

This is stil BS. There is no excuse for not having ALL last gen features. I need to look back over the list, but I don't recall them claiming to have fixed the menu's. That should be something they're glad to make up to everyone. EA is nothing but a bunch of con-artists.

If I recall...fixing the menu's wouldn't be a "feature"

After the patch, I thought it was pretty damn enjoyable. I could actually pass the damn ball.

no more of a feature than touting 60 FPS on PS3? Overall the NCAA games on 360 have been underwhelming. Hopefully that changes this year with an 04 like effort.

I forget which NCAA had goofy stadiums like a Cereal Bowl, but that was the last time I played mascot games. Man, I'm trying to remember which one that was, that was some goofy stuff.

Back when my cousin was three, he loved playing with the TCU Horned Frogs because he thought their mascot was funny. That's basically the target audience
