Still playing a PS2 version?

[BleedGreen710]

Today I played my first bowl game with my created team and it actually went into overtime with the score tied 0-0. I ended up winning 6-0.


You wont ever see that in NCAA 14 or any next gen game for that matter, defensive battles are just so rare vs the CPU. Whereas I have found most of my games on NCAA 10 or 09 (PS2) have been like that.

Other than receivers being a little too good at going up and catching passes over DBs, the PS2 games had a much better passing system than the PS3 games. More missed passes, better trajectories/speeds on passes, less "Robo-QB," etc

Damn backwards compatibility. When I was cleaning out a bunch of old things I stumbled on to my PS2 NCAA 10 version and got so excited to pop it into my PS3 only to find out my PS3 doesn't have backwards compatibility. I was actually shocked that was a thing, I just automatically assumed it was going to work.

What all did the PS2 versions do right?

Once the new game comes out I seem to totally forget all about the last version. It's fun to put in an old game and remember the highlights of versions in the past. I def. keep all my old versions of NCAA esp. now that the series is dead (for now...I hope).

Please bring back NCAA Football!!!!

Not yet, but thinking about trying out '08 as it has create a school.

I'm going through and manually naming players on NCAA 06 ps2 for a dynasty. Created a school but not sure if I want to use it yet.

I still play 07, and a bit of 09 to get some draft classes for Madden 09 ps2. So much better quality than current gen.

I keep trying to go back to my NCAA 06, but it's hard to get realistic football out of it. It is easy to complete deep passes, hard to complete short-medium passes, running the ball can be iffy, and I feel like there is a way to abuse every play (which in some situations can be too good to pass up)
