Is FNR4 "that" good? Or..........

Even though my favorite sports team is a pro football team (Cowboys), my favorite sport is actually "college" football. There's just nothing in sports like the beauty and pageantry of Saturday afternoon college football.

That said...every July I'm on tip-toe anticipation for NCAA Football.

Then this year came. I recently got Fight Night 4 and its had me hostage ever since I popped it in. I never thought "boxing" could win me over again like this, but it has. Even to the point that I haven't played the NCAA demo any more since I downloaded it. In fact, I forgot I had it. What? Me? Normally I run that thing over and over until the real thing comes hits.

With NCAA 10 just about a week away, I honestly have to say it has not been on the brain. And trust me, for me that's saying a WHOLE lot. Heck, I go way back with EA when they first made Bill Walsh College Football on Sega Genesis.

Now I'm kinda wondering... How in the world could I of all people forget I had the NCAA demo?

Is it that Fight Night 4 is just THAT super?

Is it that Madden has overshadowed with the upgrades that NCAA didn't get?

Or I'm I not admitting to myself that the demo was a disappointment?

Any thoughts?

I don't know of anything I'd call addictive that wasn't good. ????????

FNR4 reminds me of a really addicting flash game. Simple controls, but complex enough to hook you in.

What gets me is that boxer share. The replay value is so high because of this. You can continue to bring in fresh, new guys just as if it were real boxing.

OK...someone might say "well what about Team Builder?" But I don't need make believe teams in college football. Its just a feature I coulda did without.

Well see my mind isn't in that area. So I can only speak for myself homie. Never tried any, don't plan to.

Yeah that boxer share does reeally make this game's replay value very high. I'm already up to 80 fighters. I have all kinds of legends and current guys too.

I wouldn't say I'm so down on NCAA that I call it a pile though. I'm not as high on it as Madden. But I'll end up with it. Mostly because college is my thing.
