Did you get your memory card back? I sent you a few emails but you never responded to them. Just making sure your card got back to its rightful owner.

I just really prefer 07 because of the more detailed defensive playbooks and deeper offenses I think, in addition to it being the one I have the longest history with.

Actually I was wrong, scheduling in 07 is the same as 06 and prior where you can see the full NCAA schedule before the season starts. So with some creative team swapping on the user’s schedule, you can can create marquee match-ups for computer teams instead of random auto-scheduled games like Alabama at Temple, you can change it to Alabama at Penn State.

08 is when the preseason options changed. I think it’s when preseason drills first appeared.

Y'know what bothers me? For some reason, 07 is like the only game where USC-Notre Dame isn't a protected intersectional rivalry. It shows up automatically in simulated seasons on 06 and 11... So when I start dynasties not as my favorite school, they can basically get detached from our premier rivalry after a year until I eventually take over.

I think I remember that. Fortunately, it shouldn't be too hard to make that match-up happen every year. ND has a flexible independent schedule so you just need to find out when USC and your team have an out of conference game together. Then swap some things around and it'll work. You can also delete one of your games and switch it to when USC plays. It might be tough to try and make it around the accurate time (season finale in LA or mid-season in South Bend), but at least you can do it.

Sorry, if that was complicated sounding, it really isn't that hard.

I mean, when I play as USC it's easy enough to figure out, and I'm currently their in my 07 dynasty, but I'll definitely make more of an effort if and when I start another 07 dynasty at another school.

To anyone wondering, you definitely need a computer with Windows XP if you plan to use the Action Replay for Xbox. Just a heads up.

Right now I am running the older PS2 games on a PS2 emulator and the results are downright amazing. Still frustrated with the passing in NCAA 06.
