IGN preview of NCAA 06 is up..

[fistofrage]

Bah...I must be getting old, but the dorm room sounds foolish. I like to play with multiple teams in my dynasty. Basically 1 mid to low tier team in each power conference and see how the whole season unfolds.

I don't feel the need to look at some computerized picture of a girlfriend when I got a got a wife screaming at me in real life to look at any time I want. I think that they should have worked on blocking schemes and sim aspects of the game more than the dorm room.....

I am going to pass on this year's NCAA. I was going to anyway because we have a baby coming in August and I haven't even completed my dynasty from last years NCAA.

I hope this game is really good for everyone who looks forward to the series. I have every NCAA dating back to PS1 days and I actually liked last year(PS2), but that stupid create a fan feature was bogus. Hopefully they have taken that garbage out this year.

I haven't seen the video interview, so forgive me if this question has already been answered. Does anyone know if the traditional dynasty mode (i.e. coach's p.o.v.) will still be available?

I want to see Florida State destroy Florida at Doak, instead of seeing them go down in Zook's last game. I want Chris Rix not to suck. What I don't want is this: inserting myself as some hotshot running back or safety. I'm not buying the game for some "wouldn't it be cool if I..." factor. Anyone else agree?

Yes, completely...with every word you said.

Yes but its unclear whether you will still be able to watch the heisman ceremony as you can in the other mode.

Hey ehh. Who's your avatar of? It looks like Mount Vernon High School in the background - is that the one in Northern VA? I used to live there and that's where my sister when to high school.

This mode is so stupid I thought maybe we would get a AD mode where we could upgrade schools, make money from bowl games, and set academic standards. But no EA spends all year on this crap. I can't believe the stupid cone of vision on madden. If they take out multiplayer dynasties It will put me over the edge.
