IGN NCAA '07 XBOX360: FIRST LOOK

[granvilleberry]

in addition to fans obtaining some level of osmosis in the stadium walls at oregon, let me be the first to nit-pick over Oklahoma sporting white shoes. they haven't worn white shoes since the 2001 Orange Bowl. white face masks should be nice though. as long as the gameplay and over all lethargic reaction to controlls in madden isn't present, i can live with all the minor uniform flaws (but why would this miss something like shoe color when they go so far as to tape measure stands and bust out satelites?)

5 pages...i was wondering how long it was gonna take for someone to bring up shoe color

I'm not even gonna bother getting excited about this game. If EA's claims that all these games are built from the ground up are true, I still don't think it's gonna play very well. I'll get the PS2 version instead.

My question to all of you...since we've seen nothing but 8 screens and nothing in motion....

What if the modes that didn't make the jump were left out because they concentrated on GAMEPLAY???

Wouldn't that be a worthwhile trade?

Yeah physics engine we won't see this year, maybe next year. I "hear" they are looking at two of them.

As for the hit stick. I'm actually hoping they starting putting some parameters on it like fatigue. You can't hit someone like this every play. Not even Roy Williams does it every play. Matter of fact I think players should have a tag that indicates who the hard hitters are. Everyone cannot hit hard. Also I do agree, some of the animations need to be redone. There are some good ones though. I got a nice one off on Madden 360 with Sean Taylor once.

Abso-freaking-lutely!!

It's possible that the increased number of player attributes in the 360 version will result in a smarter, deeper, overall better playing game even with the smaller playbooks. Until we have more info, I'm in wait and see mode.

Yes it would, if they really concentradted on gameplay.

I bet these "satelites" EA claims to have used are just Google Earth, maybe even Google Earth Pro!
