Guys, I think we're going to have to wait for IGN to get a beta of the 360 version and the start of their annual NCAA play of the day run before we get a good look at the next gen version ofthe game.

On the field, the presentation is different as well. Momentum is the heart and soul of this year's NCAA Football game, and it's presented in an even more explicit way than in the Xbox or PS2 versions of the game. The biggest change is the momentum meter on the screen--as you make big plays, such as touchdowns, interceptions, or fumble recoveries, your momentum meter will fill up (or decrease if you're consistently blowing it on the field). If you fill it completely, your team will get an even bigger boost, players will be faster and tougher to bring down, or your quarterback might make a few passes he might not otherwise complete. A number of cool camera angles in between plays really show off the work that's gone into the graphics engine--helmets brandish scuff marks and realistic reflections, and dynamic lighting effects change as the game (and the day) wears on, gradually changing from day, to dusk, to night. In all, the next-gen spit and polish in NCAA 07 has resulted in a game that looks like it belongs on the Xbox 360.

While fans of NCAA 07's career mode (known in the Xbox and PS2 game as campus legend mode) may be disappointed to hear that the mode didn't make it into the Xbox 360 version, the hardcore contingent should know that dynasty mode is well intact, complete with in-season recruiting, a new 3D map of the US for use during recruiting, and all the rest of the coaching goodies you've come to expect in the current-gen versions of the game. It's here that the majority of the big NCAA fans spend their time, so it's a good thing the Tiburon development team included it. From a control standpoint, the game will play very similarly to its Xbox cousin, and many of the same control tweaks that have been made in the current-gen version of the game can be found in the Xbox 360 game. The turbo button, for example, has moved to the right trigger button, and new controls, such as the jump-the-snap option (which helps you get a jump on the ball when playing as a defensive lineman), are in place. Watch out with that jump-the-snap option, however; it's very easy to get the timing wrong and cost your team some penalty yards. A fake snap option, which pulls the camera back temporarily to simulate the camera movement during the snap, is in there as well; in fact, the computer will use it against you periodically, hoping to get you to bite and get caught offsides (and yeah, they got us a few times).
