  1. NCAA at home or on the go? Now you can truly run the option. [Sept. 2006, p.100]
  2. The atmosphere and enthusiasm that the game portrays are remarkable, especially for a portable title.
  3. Even with the crippling "running bug" I had a much more enjoyable time playing NCAA Football 07 on the PSP. Of course my style of play favors the passing play so ground yards aren’t a big deal with me. If you like to run the ball you might want to wait for the patch or just play on another system.
  4. The unfortunate choice to leave out mini-games, the great Campus Legend mode and some extra goodies is upsetting but what we have here is a football game that doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the college football scene.

    I bought this game with hesitation a lot because of what I read here. Don't let a few bad opinions keep you away from a solid title. There are tons of teams, options, and depth here. The replays are a nice touch and the overall feel of a huge college game is captured with the momentum meter. Dynasty mode lets you do everything to return a former great to glory or bring new creedance to a long standing whipping boy. If your looking for a alternative to buying this years Madden I highly suggest you check out this game. Expand

    This Game is really fun. The running game sucks unless yo run it to the outside. Also, sometimes when u pass the ball, the reciever slows down and misses it. But all in all it is a great game, great graphics, freezes once in a while but its extremely fun. Expand

    It seems the general consensus that the running game 'bug' utterly ruins the game, but to all those who say "don't buy this game" and that this renders the running game useless haven't taken the time to fully backup their claims. I've had the game since day one and I have noticed the 'bug' and have to say that it is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be (this by no means absolves EA for releasing a faulty product for which I highly doubt that they are going to do anything about it which is even more unforgivable). I've managed to use the running game equally as well as the passing and have noticed that the 'bug' only kicks in when your in the general area of the pocket. Run through the holes or to the outside, break a couple of tackles and you are marked accurately. I've seen inaccurate markings in real football so maybe it's not all that uncommon. Also note, that the bug that affects you also affects the CPU. So it is not like you are getting the short end of the stick. All said, without the 'bug' this game would be a sure 10. Graphics are excellent (especially for a handheld), atmosphere is spot on, load times are brief, gameplay is solid and the online is decent although I haven't had much time with it (EA's registration process is a major chore), but works good (depending on your or your opponents connection strength) with a little lag. The ESPN ticker is accurate and a nifty addition for realtime updates. Too bad about the omission of the mini games and Campus mode, but that doesn't take away from the solid title. Expand

    This game is dissapointing. frozen up 3x since i got it a week ago. the tackling is much more inconsistant than it should be, and running the ball/spot of ball is messed up. i wouldn't recomend this game despite having high hopes and optimism. Expand
