Summary: A Step Backwards
Comment: To sum this game up frankly: horrible camera, clunky controls, laughable animations, the players look like they're wearing plastic uniforms, player models are cartoonishly out of proportion, the team stats mean nothing, the frame-rates are inconsistent and stutters when menus load...and the list goes on. I'm not big on the extra features, I just like to play exhibition matches and this game fails miserably.
What happened since NCAA 2006? I enjoyed that game thoroughly on PS2. The controls are intuitive and responsive, and the game has a smoother, faster feel to it. It's not perfect, but it is at least enjoyable. Making plays on defense was actually possible in that game. I always control a defensive tackle and getting off blocks is next to impossible in 2008, against any team.
Why EA moved away from the 2006 controls, I don't understand (this goes for Madden as well), using the right analog stick to juke/swim/hit was great and allowed for very fluid gameplay that shoulder buttons can't emulate as well. As other people have said, switching the controls for every version is confusing and annoying. 2006 had it right.
This game is a joke, and not even worth the cheap, used price I paid for it.

Summary: A Pretty Nice NCAA Game!
Comment: This is a pretty good game(about 4.5 stars), definitely an improvement from the 07 version. The graphics and sound f/x are AWESOME! It's like you're really in the stadium getting cheered on or booed by the fans. Gameplay is a little laggier (but also more realistic) than the past NCAA games and the players seem slow and chunky, but overall it's a pretty down right fun game to play by yourself or with a friend.

Summary: Stop looking for the faults and enjoy the game!
Comment: Yes, you might fumble too much, or that linebacker just jumped too high to make an impossible interception. Big deal, chances are you will probably get the same type of turnover while on defense later on. And if you don't and lose, get over it. where is the fun if you go into every game knowing you are going to win?
I adore this game, last year up at college we got 12 guys together and created a dynasty. It was the best thing ever. The recruiting is a blast, and the head to head games get so heated that you have crowds coming into your room to watch these games. Despite having 12 people, we got to season 6 by the end of the school year.
Another unrealistic aspect of this game is the rankings and the heisman voting. I personally got jipped, as I had an undefeated season and defeated the preseason #1 and #2 teams, but still finished 3rd in the BCS. But you know what..its great! It caused so much smack talk, and besides i ended up losing to a friend in the rose bowl, so maybe it was deserved. But I got over it and won the national title the next year.
Some say the passing is too tough, are you serious? If you have any football knowledge you should be fine in the passing game. Its easy to recognize coverage, even before the snap. Cover 2 means throw it to the seam down the middle, man to man give it to your guys on crossing routes and time it right, etc. And if you still can't handle it, adjust the sliders. Really, people complain too much, they need to sit back and enjoy this game. I am getting 09 tomorrow and my friends and I are going to go through another 6 dyanasty seasons.

Summary: 1080p 60 was promising, but had it's issues
Comment: hopefully 09 will be the ultimate HD college football gaming experience. Fun game as always, but on the 360 the 1080p 60fps had processing issues for 08.
