    Easily the best football game yet for the Xbox 360. Sporting a beautiful look and feel and more modes than you can shake a stick at, it’ll cure your football fever all season long.

    From the very first snap, you'll notice this game runs a whole lot faster and smoother than last year's edition, thanks to the necessary bump to 60 frames per second.

    While this year's iteration fell just a bit short of greatness, we'll just have to wait to see if the game strikes the Heisman in during its junior year.

    I just wish that it looked a little nicer, and there was more depth of gameplay added to the Campus Legend mode.

    Best football game available, yes better than 2K8, the game with no franchise mode what so ever. Dynasty and campus legend modes go deep. Replay is unlimited.… Expand

    My first NCAA Football game - I must say, it's pretty fun. I am a diehard Madden fan so I was reluctant, but NCAA delievers, esp with the 60fps which Madden will finally get. The game is based on raw talent and emotion, unlike the Madden game, which is more professional and precise. The motivation factor is a great additoin too.… Expand

    Like any other EA game, it's chock full of bugs, but thankfully most of them aren't show stoppers. It's quite a bit better than last years model, and probably not as good as next years. In general though, it's a good amount of fun.… Expand

    Obviously EA doesn't make this game as good as Madden because no one would buy Madden a month later if this title was up to snuff. Limited options make this game average. A great example is the replay function. You can only save replays from one of the predetermined angles instead of more compelling alternativesl. Not a bad lead-in to Madden, but that's all it is for this gamer.… Collapse
