New NCAA 2006 preview and developer interview on Gamespot

I disagree with you on the graphics. I've always thought EA did a good job with their college player models, and this year I think they have surpassed Madden. Looking at those screens, and the game as a whole, it just looks like college football to me. The player models couldn't look much better in my opinion.

EDIT: Also, after reading the article again, I think if the "in the zone" feature is rare enough, it might be kind of cool in a huge, big play moment. Say there are 10 seconds left, you get the ball, have one guy to break for the winning touch down, and as he is about to tackle you, the camera zooms in for a split second as you stiff arm the sh** out of him, then zooms back out as you run it in for the score. That sounds pretty sweet to me (I repeat, as long as it's not OVER used).

Agreed. that is the same way it's looked for years now. i hope "impact players" can be turned off. i dont want to be stuck with arcade BS. like "home field advantage" last year was horrible.

It would help with graphics if they had a body editor like Madden

Those graphics look simply incredible. EA has really done it this year in the graphics department. I don't think anyone could ask for much better out of this gen systems.
