Worst NCAA of All-Time?

We all agree that this franchise has lost some steam since its PS 2 and X-Box glory days. What we may not agree on is when the franchise started to turn south and what installment marked the nadir of its plummet. NCAA 08 was my first NCAA on the Next Generation consoles so while it underwhelmed, I gave it the benefit of the doubt since it was still so early on (plus, the graphical upgrade from LG was enough for me, at first). However, I can say without a doubt that the lowest point of this series for me was the horror that was NCAA Football 2009. Wide open gameplay just about scared me away from NCAA for good. 10 was pretty awful as well but it was at least playable with certain slider sets.

Which is the worst for you? Oh and for the record, NCAA 04 is what I consider to be this series' highest point.

There needs to be a way to ignore the thread titles of people who you have on ignore. Ignoring their posts isn't enough, they still can get you with ridiculous threads.

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

I would have to go with 2009. That was the year they introduced wide open game play and the pursuit angles were all screwed up. I could literally tecmo bowl style my way up and down the field, fatigue was broken as well if I recall correctly.

2008 was my second least favorite to play on count of the deep ball issues and overpowering pass rush. I never made it through my dynasty that year either.

2007 was enjoyable but raw.

I logged a lot of hours into 2010. That was a very enjoyable game user vs user

Loved 2011, most hours ever logged into NCAA

2012 will be awesome once they get a few issues resolved so I am not sure why you say the series has gone downhill. 11 was great and we still don't know where 12 will end up.

I am confused. I have never spoken to you before in my life. Why would you have me on ignore? Additionally, why would you suggest that this thread is ridiculous and deserves to be ignored? I was just startig a discussion and never intended to raise an incendiary subject.

I agree that 2009 was the worst. Allow me to clarify. I feel like the NCAA series went downhill from NCAA 08-NCAA 10. However, I feel like EA has righted the ship somewhat and is heading back in the right direction with the release of NCAA 11. NCAA 11 was the first NCAA in five years that I actually enjoyed, could play without any slider adjustments while still feeling like I was getting solid gameplay, and could get through a season without getting tired of it. NCAA 2012 seems to be even better in terms of gameplay and presentation.

Re: Worst NCAA of All-Time?

For the record, I don't think there is anything wrong with this thread. makes for some good discussion and some interesting stories. I would have liked to see a poll though.
