I believe there are 8 of us, 4 Big 10 teams and 4 SEC teams. I have Penn St. and have my recruiting board ready. The menus moving without a pause has made recruiting less time consuming. I can't wait to see if I can take Penn St. far. My online experience has not been to shabby. I have realized not everybody understands the little nuances of the sport and I don't take there cheese to serious. Believe it or not many actually think that is what they watch, lol.

Playing with PSU is fun - Derrick Williams (#2) is so much fun to play with - when I've played agaisnt lesser teams he's taken punts back with some great moves. Royster is a good back, but QB Clark is so-so, especially as a passer.

Game positives

1 - Stadium sounds is fantastic, I wish this was in Madden.
2 - Running game is great - patience is rewarded
3 - Playing D is fun, except for DL.
4 - graphics and player models are great. Stadiums too except for fan closeups.
5 - Bad weather look good
6 - Quick call for recruiting is a nice addition
7 - Mascot Games !!! - just kidding, just want to see if you are reading....

Thank goodness I am not alone. The mascot game is number one on my list of great things I like about this game. LOL.

I liked the fact that they added more wrap tackles and the overall contol feel for the game. I thinked the players should have little more weight to them. Overall Im loving the game tho.

I absolutely love the amount of teams. I'm a content lover, so I love the amount of teams. I also love the stadium detail. Very accurate representations.

I was killing central Michigan with Georgia in 4th quarter, stadium was half empty, and crowd was swaying arms and singing "nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey heyyyyyyy goodbye". Awesome, especially with all the dawg tunes I put in game. Graphics, celebrations, play except kickoffs and punts(just supersim), online dynasty, recruiting, more positive than negative.

The Custom Stadium Sounds makes this game great for me. As an Auburn fan, the lack of the real fight song has always been an atmosphere killer, and not only do I have that, but (thanks to Auburn Alumni's fantastic thread on this site for Stadium Sounds) I have all of the real songs that are used at the actual games for different situations. It feels like it actually IS in the game for the first time.

Thus, once the sliders are patched (screws with my dynasty settings, but I can play on "I am a ******** child" level until they are fixed), this will be my favorite game in the NCAA series to date, and it won't be close. So, ask me again in September.

But we still have the same ape looking faces for players.
