They won't even allow us to do that. A lot of these issues I'm having could be solved with the sliders, which they put in the game. Unfortunately those sliders didn't seem to do anything whatsoever in the '08 games. I went as far as lowering all my sliders to ''0'' and the CPUs to MAX, and got the same results. I could understand if my nephew and I were experts, but we're actually not very good at all, which makes the CPU AI issue even more frustrating for us.

I disagree with the whole EA getting better thing.. You can hop over to the slider forum and see a ton of frustrated gamers, some who threw hissy fits, some actually called it quits for the year. Most of them spent their gaming time trying to find a way to make the CPU even somewhat intelligent, when they should have been enjoying the games.

Look, if EA can't make an intelligent AI, at least make the sliders even more important, so we can do it ourselves. I don't want to pay $120 to win the national championship with Hawaii and the Superbowl with Detroit each and every year. I want to have to build the teams up, and earn my victories. Seriously, play me online once, you'll see just how awful I am - then tell me if EA's AI is even close to being improved every year.

As for the ''play a human'' thing. I buy these games for the dynasty/franchise mode. I don't care to play online.

I've played the demo on both systems. The 360 version appears to have better colors and lighting. And it appears its harder to play offense on the 360. But I'm impressed with both versions

Quoted for Truth. I was agreeing.

It sounds like you're just too good at the games. J/k...the AI is certainly lacking but you seriously must be good if no matter what you do then you can't get any challenge. It sounds like you will only get what you are asking for by playing in an online dynasty. Good thing they have that this year!

Sorry ODogg. I didn't know the abbreviation. Thanks for making me more message board savy.

I totally understand that everyone has their opinions of the game, but a 'garbage' statement is overkill. *Heavyhitter* I also agree with the community when they say it would be nice to see some reasoning behind your opinion. 1. IMO, i really don't care how good the crowd looks. It is minor to me. But I know it's important to alot of others in this community, so I'm glad that EA makes somewhat of an effort to make it look decent. 2. What I care about is gameplay, presentation, and atmosphere. I want to experience NCAA as if I was actually at the game. I would love to see all actual team entrances. i.e Clemson touching Howards rock and running down the hill. To see all the styles of facemasks and helmets. But I think the point of putting out a new game every year is to improve from the previous year. I think EA is making a step in the right direction, and I feel confident that we will all be happy and get what we want in NCAA Football in the next few years. Oh, one more thing. I don't think we can compare Next-gen with current gen. It's like comparing apples to oranges. The two systems are totally different. Thanks. Sorry for the long post.

Your right, were are the little things, like in mlb08, least they are different things that happen, that the gentlemen on OS say did you see that. My point is the little things that keep us gentlemen putting that disk back in.Yes gameplay is in important, CPU @ AI Intellgence is important TOO,but the little things are important Like home field adv. half reports from the Booth, which players are controling the game,@ end of game reports. Love to play, but the little things keep me putting that disk back in, thats why mlb08 is so great, thats why so many people give MLB 08 such high ratings. Just my thoughts. Hoppy60

You're right, it makes you feel like you're visiting a little world in videogame land as opposed to just playing software. The Show should be the standard for EA to work off of.

Anyone else noticed this...the first game I played looked like it was a sunset, still some light out, etc. However, other games I've played it has been completely dark, black night sky. Yet when you start the game it says 6:00 PM each time. Anyone else noticed this?
