    Throughout the action, the controls handle sweetly, combining the depth of a large number of moves with smooth playability.
  2. It's the updated version to the best sports game of last year and brings a bit more to the table such as better defensive backs and more control on the offensive side of the ball.
  3. A game that should be online for the XBOX.
  4. If you're a casual college football fan and you already own last year's game, then there really isn't a huge reason for you to buy the Xbox or GameCube versions of the game, especially since neither features online play. But if you're a hard-core fan, then you will certainly enjoy all of the new features.

    Too much like last years game with some add ons like the classic games. Why don't they have downloads so u can play with NAMES??????? I know right......but I inputted the names last year (SICK, I know) & I refuse to do it again. So I will be returning it for KOTR and simulate a season from last years version and play season two. Buy only if u don't have last year version. DISAPPPOINTED!!!! Expand

    No live = no pay. EA need to become Xbox Live friendly or loose all its sport title sales to Sega who are committed to Live.
