 why cant i create Jul 13, 2008
i think the game is great in all aspects except that EA did away with creating a school put that back on the game EA.
Screen Pass Glitch Jul 04, 2008
I have been a fairly loyal fan of the NCAA Football series since the 2003-2004 version. Most of the other reviewers have hit the high and low points of this version. After having played four to five versions of this game I cannot understand why the haven't changed the code which has the AI team execute a screen pass on third down only to have the running back step out of bounds and loose a couple of yards. Are the play testers at EA that bad? Maybe they just laugh as hard as I do when this happens over and over again. Whatever the case, it would be nice if they actually fixed this glitch.

 Awesome game for PS3 minus 30fps rate Jun 13, 2008
I've been buying all of the NCAA Football games for the past 2 years. This one for the PS3 was great with the exception of 2 things.
1. Having 60fps would have been much better than the 30fps.
2. I miss the home crowd effects from previous years and momentum builders. I think they are bringing it back for 09, but it really makes the game more exciting.
The graphics get better and better each year.
To me, this is a must have for college football fans.

Good Game ---Way too many turnovers! Apr 30, 2008
Basically the same as '07 --except you can't create your own team but the graphics are light years better! Gameplay is much the same however the number of turnovers in every level except Heisman is ridiculous. Brad Nessman's play by play is behind the action such as in previous editions, commentary is largely verbatim from '07 except for a few new observations which keep Lee Corso's banality intact. The refresh rate on my PS3 stalls often when you break the huddle pausing for a second or two and the most annoying thing is the player's of the game banner which covers much of the screen while the game is still in progress.
Stadium rendition at least for Commonwealth stadium and the other SEC schools is pretty accurate (the ones with which I am most familiar)which is good b/c you get sweeping views of the stadium during every break in the action (end of quarter, after a PAT) and the rendition of the UK Wildcat mascot is great especially compared to '07.
As another has said the player power ratings are pretty much right on. I've yet to figure out how to customize my playbook and while I selected a coach visage to represent myself I've yet to see him on the sidelines or in cut-aways like in '07.
All in all a fun game with much improved graphics although 5-6 pics in a single game by one team is absurd! My defensive secondary is famous b/c of it but it's not at all realistic.I won't even mention the average number of fumbles per game.
Recruiting is much enhanced & somewhat more fun and realistic although much more time consuming than NCAA '07
If you can find it cheap it's a good game.Don't pay full retail however.

why the neg reviews??? Mar 03, 2008
I bought this game despite the negative reviews and low star rating. Not sure what the fuss is all about - this is a solid game - the gameplay is fantastic and the player rankings is excellent in terms of speed and overall ability - someone at EA did some serious research to provide all the information on the players
Download the player names from ebay (paid only $3.00) and you got a great game. The recruiting is fun - like a reality show - you're doing what the college coaches do - the control of the players in the game is smooth and it feels great to go r2 with a burst of speed after an interception for a touch or a long run or pass.
Only problem I had is that the PS3 Version has no special classic teams like the PS2 Version - big letdown here - wanted to play wiht the classic players of the past, REggie bush, vince young , herschel walker, desmond howard, deion sanders - they should have added classic teams to the 08 game.
