Best NCAA Video Game of All-Time

By far it is NCAA 08 for me. Here's why:

Campus Legend: Pick your major and have "classes" and must keep GPA up otherwise you can get suspended. You also have tests and can choose what to do in your free time. Also, you have your own dorm room. All of this is way better than 14 when you can only play the games and upgrade your player.

Dynasty: First year of pre-season recruiting, custom schedules, and pre-season summer training. Also, they have the ability to make your own pitch to recruits, you can make promises such as certain jersey number or position, and have the ability for recruits to talk to famous alumni of your school.

What is your favorite NCAA game of all time and what are the best features about it? I'll update the OP with tallies!

NCAA 08: 1

Re: Best NCAA Video Game of All-Time

To me NCAA 14, the gameplay and graphics are just so much better than any other game in my opinion. Plus updated rosters, I really like the recruiting and playbooks in dynasty, and the modding side of it too.

Re: Best NCAA Video Game of All-Time

I've always been a dynasty guy, and never got deep into RTG.

Personally, I like 14 the best. I feel the gameplay is the smoothest and closest to what we see in current day. I love the custom conferences and tie in's. The teambuilder aspect seals the deal, however since that has gone down, it's not as important.

12 is a VERY close #2. The gameplay is a smidge behind, but made up for by the more in depth recruiting. 12-14 have pretty much the same equipment options, and are closest to what we see in current day to keep realism alive.

100% agree recruiting is better in 12 than 14

NCAA 08: 1
I loved 08 for the very reasons you mentioned plus IIRC the playbooks were really fun to use. I remember having some pretty cool option plays and the pitches on PS2 just being really fun. I was more of a campus legend guy at that time and hardly touched dynasty, but I do remember often creating a team and using them for a season in a dynasty. Wasn't as good as Teambuilder but was still really fun.

With that said I really can't tell you which one I think the best is. It's been so long since I've played anything other than 14. I do wish they would have kept some of the features from past games in 14 (campus legend most of all) and if they did I feel the game would be untouchable.

What is better about recruiting in 12 than 14? If I remember they have relatively the same features as 12 was when everything was brought in the first time.
