Nintendo Preview Of NCAA College Football 2005
Talks about other stadiums,that are tough to play at,and the graphics.
This year, EA is keying on a unique phenomenon of the college game: overwhelming home-field advantage.
Features
* Tons of teams, bowls and rivalries, complete with authentic uniforms, fight songs, stadiums and more
* In Dynasty Mode, manage an entire program, including discipline, grades and player happiness
* Enhanced AI: A player's composure can go up or down over the course of a game or season depending on his performance
* More realistic moves. Ball carriers move fluidly, linemen less so
* Improved lighting, including change of day as the game progresses
* Match-Up Stick lets you take advantage of key personnel mismatches
EA's scouts ranked the 25 toughest places to play. No. 1 is Tennessee's Neyland Stadium. Other places where visitors fear to tread include Clemson, Florida, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan and Washington.
When the home crowd gets loud (and we mean really rocking: In the biggest stadiums the crowd stamps its collective feet, making the camera shake), the opposing QB can't audible and might get so rattled that he botches a play.
Bottom Line
Legitimate restrictions on licensing the names of real collegiate players always pose a big challenge for game developers, but EA more than makes up for that with a sure instinct for what makes college football so appealing. Yep, there's nothing quite like being on campus during game day.
