 Great. January 1, 2008

My 10 year old and his dad have played this game non-stop since they got it. I can't give you all the details because I have not played it, but it has entertained them for hours and is definitely his favorite playstation game.
 Great to play against your buddies... Not Online. December 4, 2007

I've always been a fan of the series and I have quite a few buddies who love to play it. We have one night every week where we sit down to play with each other.
Anyways, the Dynasty mode is great, but be careful with player promises. A few major downfalls:
1. Penalties. Too many of them. I've seen far too many penalties that change the outcome of games. Too many holding calls. Too much roughing the passer by the CPU players on your team.
2. All-American difficulty proves to be entirely too easy and I frequently score 70+ while the computer scores 0. Move it up to Heisman and the computer will start doing the supernatural. Receivers will zip across the field to make catches. Linebackers will soar into the air do intercept your passes and your receivers will drop the ball when they are open.
3.I believe that momentum plays too large of a role in this game. When your opponent's momentum bar is full, you're doomed. When it swings your way, you'll find your players doing outrageous things.
4. ONLINE PLAY: Garbage. Don't expect to play an actual game of football. 95% of all online players will use a team like Oregon or West Virginia and scramble out of the pocket and throw a deep pass that will be caught regardless of coverage. Anytime you run the hurry up and try to call a hot route, you'll get a false start...EVERYTIME. During Ranked games(games which count towards your online ranking), you'll find that the difficulty is turned down to All-American rather than Heisman. Due to this, Cornerback play is ABYSMAL. Triple cover a guy and he'll catch it and run right by all three defenders. Let a runningback hit the outside corner and everyone begins taking a J shaped pursuit angle that lets the running back break the big one.
All in all, NCAA 08 is a great game. But the terrible online play drops my rating drastically. It's a good game to sit around and play with friends or run through a dynasty. EA Sports has got to sit down and tinker with the gameplay for online mode, otherwise it will always be a cheese-fest.

This game is great! It is so good my PS2 could not handle it and died 1 day after I got the game. The little I have played was great. The new promises twist with recruiting and the skills games to improve player stats are great additions. The medical redshirt is also a great thing that took a long time in coming. The only thing left is to include the 1-AA teams and leagues as truly playable options and not just a one for one substitute for a D-1 school.

I really have enjoyed playing this game. The graphics has definitely gotten better and I like to create players and try to with the Heisman with them.

Every year this series just keeps getting better and better...and this year the best part of the game just got even better...and that is the recruiting with a more indepth in season recruiting. The "My Shrine" room gives you a lot to hold your interested even if you not playing the game...
