So the gimmick is trick plays this year?

well if you would read the article the gimmick is the improved game... but trick plays are a big part of it.

Well the first thing I noticed was the graphics(pics) look excatcly like last years. But the movies looked almost HD 360 maybe??? couldnt really tell, too small of a video.

Second, the momentum meter has been done before by EA!!! and it was poorly done before, does anybody remember a year or two ago the march madness game(04 or 05)that had momentum in it, man did that not go well. But lets see if they can make it work.

Third, one the impact cam video, where the reciever catches the ball in slow motion, it seems like if you are on the defense its going to be hard to intercept or even knock down a pass like that when the camera is all turning around. But again, it could be something that when your actually playing it that it doesnt seem that bad.

And Lastly, "And while the team at Tiburon always hates it anytime anyone refers to NCAA as Madden's little brother, there is actually a lot from the Madden series that is now being brought over to NCAA 07. They are incorporating the pass blocking logic from Madden that eliminated nano blitzing into NCAA, along with adding slide protection." WOW WOW WOW, well it seems that the blocking will stay the same. Madden 06's blocking is terrible, not even an upgrade? EA you are lazy! But lets see if they make any adjustments to it? Hopefully!

One other thing, one thing that I think will be a big positive is when they say that the difference between good QB's and crappy QB's will be a big difference. If it is true, then those crappy CPU QB's will not be able to make those 4th quarter Lienart passes.

Also, " That's what NCAA Football 07 (PS2, Xbox) is all about. It's about momentum shifts. It's about control. It's about unpredictability, trickery and deception." Could this be saying that the 360 version will be made a little differently than past-gen? It looks like it to me!!!! could be what we want!

OK so NO ESPN in-game presentation, NO new 1-AA teams, NO incredible great new mode, and NO graphics update. Ugh. Only trick plays, a stupid momentum meter, new playbooks, and actual TESTS. This campus thing only replaces RFTH, so this game is maybe only slightly upgraded.
