Exactly, it's just an opinion. Hell, one editor remarked about not liking the 'micro-managing' side of dynasty mode. They praised it too death, so it's atleast a sign that good things are to come!

I just read the review at www.maddenmania.com

They don't really talk about much.

Reviewer one: Best highlight of the game is the improved graphics.. grass looks like grass not astro-turf.. players look like college/amateur athletes..

Reviewer two: Graphics are okay, but I want next-gen... atmosphere is good, except for the repetitive announcers

Reviewer three: Gameplay rules.. blah, blah..

they don't actually say anything. All they do is spew out a feature or two that we already learned about at E3.

Good: Redone visuals, race for the Heisman mode
Bad: Limited online features
Missing from 06: replaying classic college football games**

**but really.. who cares (my comment, not from the mag)

they suggest going with the Xbox > PS2 because of sim/load times, visuals are sharper blah, blah, blah..

mag reviews are such crap now compared to online reviews.

to put it all into perspective, ncaa 2005 earned a 9.17 from egm(average from 3 reviews) and ncaa 2004 earned an average of 9.17. This years earned an average of.....9.17. We all know 2004 was sent from the hevens and 2005 sucked, so go figure. I think reviewers barely play sports games and rush through them, because unlike other games they review, they are not required to beat them. You cant "beat" these games. Im guessing they play about 2 games and review it.

magazine reviews are garbage for sports games
