Christian McLeod's obsession with college football takes center stage here as he reminisces about what he believes are EA's five best NCAA football games ever.

Quote:


	In a matter of weeks, college football gamers everywhere will be playing EA's latest pigskin title NCAA Football 12. In the meantime, we at least get to dig into a demo. Here at Operation Sports, I'm trying to pass the time just like all of you. So I decided to analyze EA's college football legacy by ranking the top five games that have made the current NCAA Football series such a mainstay in today's sports gaming culture. Did your favorite make the list? Read on to find out.

Click the link below to see if your power rankings match up with Christian's. If they don't, then clearly Christian's opinion is wrong.

I fully agree with this list, quite a blast from the past a few of those are.
Good read!

I like the idea of having two seperate modes. Road to Glory should only allow you to control your player and not the whole team. It is you playing a "role" on a team. I have full blown dynasty mode if I want to controll everything and everybody.

I think its good to have both approaches to the game.

BTW Congrats on your boy!!!! Baby = less gametime. I know this.

I really do miss the ability to have your Road to Glory player move on to become a coach in your dynasty. I don't understand why that was removed.

I wish I'd tried NCAA 04 and 06, instead I got Madden... Oh well...

I also was obsessed with getting my team on those mags. I miss that.

Quit making me miss my old xbox, Chase.

Its really a toss up between 06 & 04. I remember sitting on 04 for three days straight playing a dynasty with minimal food & no shower lol (I was around 14 I think). Probably played 400-500 user games until 05 came out.

06 is my all-time favorite though. It just had everything to keep me playing... the best gameplay, presentation, and a FULL dynasty mode (SI, heisman presentation, simple recruiting, etc.). Sadly, I don't think the series will be that good for a loooooong time.
