I'm real surprised to hear people say ncaa 06 was the gold standard, I remember hating that game with a passion and only playing it a handful of times. I always thought the one with Matt Lienhart was the best. This years is clearly the best I've ever played.

Bottom line is game is fun as hell and hopefully keeps getting better

my fav was ncaa 04 with carson palmer on the cover. i remember it has the video tutorial on how to lead receivers on it, and then last year that was a "new feature" that was touted!

Is it the best this gen? Yes

But really is that saying much? No

If you are looking for a sim game do not buy. If you are looking for a fun game and can look past some hiccups here and there pick this game up.

Ben and Chris's review are pretty accurate, if they tighten up the defense this game would be really good. But I have to give it a 7/10 because the passing and receiving game needs a major upgrade.

pretty good game but could of been a lot more balance

Yep! And I hated NCAA 2006. I never understood why it has been hailed as the greatest NCAA by so many. I think that's when impact players were introduced and, as always with EA, this new feature was overblown. I spent less time with NCAA 2006 than any other version. The CPU would chuck deep balls on you with huge leads in the final minutes - and they were cash-money plays! I personally liked the next version, NCAA 2007, the best.

Even if NCAA 2014 is a big step forward (and I haven't played it enough yet to say), I doubt any momentum will carry into next-gen. In this generation, it seemed like EA took a few years to figure things out - and many of us would say they never really did.
