ncaa 2004

[kl2bad]

picked it up for the first time in about 4 years jus for ole time sakes. Its like I was playing a new game, I say that bcause of the presentation. I didn't realize so many elements were taken out of the new generation games. small stuff like entrances player emotion, warm ups, people getting knocked down on the sideline, refsc etc. I actually started a dynasty and was locked into the game for about 4 hrs lol. I wo9nder how long this will last..

That was a good one, same with 2006 they really have ripped us off of good features. My favorite thing they took out was either collecting all the pennants or replaying the espn classic games and trying to rewrite history.

2004 was the best Football game EVER made by EA Sports.

I remember making a set of Heisman sliders for this game that just worked perfectly for me. Every game seemed like a war, but nothing cheap. Loved 2004.

2004 was a classic.

Those guys who did that game obviously dont work for EA anymore....or either they are only relegated to the PS2 NCAA.

That game really set this series on fire, and I remember people were lined up for hours when '05 came out.

Somehow EA has forgotten that putting great team effort into a game = $$$

Instead of just, "a dab will do, and make them come back again next year"

I think I remember 2004. I think I liked it if I remember right.

06 was where it was at, though. Back when Race For The Heisman was awesome.

I know i'm in the minority on this, but I much preferred being able to play the games like normal. In the new ones, I miss passing, playing D, all that. In 06 you basically just played the game like any other Dynasty game, except all that mattered was your guy's numbers.

I absolutely loved this. Heck, I have one right now for NCAA 07 (with updated rosters) and am not missing a beat. I only play 5 minute quarters for this mode, but it is still quite fun. The next gen versions are horrible because the playcalling is just atrocious and not even realistic (seems every team has same playbook).

As a QB, I am 22-40 (55%), 622 yards, 2 TD, 2 INTs, and 65 yards rushing through 3 games for UCLA. Awsome game.
