Top Five NCAA Football Games of All Time

[jfsolo]

1. NCAA 07-XBOX
2. NCAA 06-XBOX
3. NCAA 08-360
4. NCAA 04-PS2
5. NCAA 03-PS2

Here's some reasoning:

5. NCAA 06 - One word: Girlfriends

4. NCAA 08 - Next gen at 60 fps, video highlights, and really deep recruiting.

3. NCAA 03 - First time playing NCAA when I started working at Tiburon. The recuriting and playing as UCF in the Citrus Bowl...er... UCF Stadium instantly converted me from Madden. Also loved mascot mode (sorry guys).

2. NCAA 04 - Everything just came together on this one. Sports Illustrated covers were a really cool feature as well. Only negative was the new memory card manager was full of crashes and standard violations that had to be fixed, taking away dev time from the stuff that makes a game great.

1. NCAA 09 - Just as good as 2004, but next gen/hi def makes it the new #1.

On this board that is a huge statment. NCAA 2004 is held on the same lofty ground as NFL 2k5. I hope that you are right.

Like the poster above said, that is a huge statement. I would hope that it is true.

From a gameplay perspective, yeah it was, you guys hit the nail on the head with that game. But if ya'll could do(now) anywhere close to the ESPN-type presentation that game had, it would be awesome.

Dude, I love having you guys on the board and I have gotten a chance to sink a lot of time into the game. For 2004 to be topped, in my opinion, the presentation needs a big bump. Nothing beats the Notre Dame intro (Whom I hate) or Miami coming out of the smoke. Those same animations with new models and the player spotlights and you might have a winner.
