WHY does everyone hate NCAA 2005?

Thank You!!!

After spending an inordinate amount of time attempting to fix the CPU passing problem with sliders, from Jistic and Pared, I couldn't live with the top rating passing teams in franchise mode having 38% completion rates.

My issue with the game was the slow down on the xbox and the qb passing problem. i had no problem passing and i play with air force...but when i play utah with alex smith i dont expect to hld them to 33 percent passing.

I went back to 2004 just bc it was a more complete realistic game. There were several things that i miss out of 2005, but 2004 had some good aspects too. The one thing i really hope EA does is put the Air Force cadets in the game...it would piss me off playing at army or navy and seeing their service members--BUT WHERE THE HELL WAS THE AIR FORCE CADETS!

The HFA was an awesome idea, but just a little too over the top. If the toned it down it would be awesome. I loved the tackle animations and the replays. Personally, I have always thought NCAA had better presentation than Madden: the replays, the commentators, and the little things like the bowl games and conf championships--like the bowl logo on the jersery. Madden lacks at the little things like NCAA. 2005 was not a bad game, but compared to the past it was not the best football game out this year.

It was the first time Madden got more time than NCAA.

When I went 1-28 with Bryan Randall on Rookie... I saw there was something wrong.

If only VC made an NCAA football game this year.

it wasnt a single player game this year, the ai could not do anything passing wise. i loved the improvements passing wise other than that.

I couldn't have said it better myself. People tend to moan and groan when they have to make an effort to do something.

It's not any harder to play(at least for me). The game just isn't a great game. It's alright but it's nothing special.
