X-Box slowdown for NCAA Football 2005 has been confirmed. The awkward controller and buttons combined with the occasional graphical glitches makes the X-Box second-tier in my mind.

The PS2 graphics this year look very close to the X-Box's. Everything is there and the artifacting has been enhanced. Last year, the gap was somewhat noticable, but the slight edge for the X-Box is not enough to warrant a purchase.

The PS2 is the base system to which the legacy of NCAA Football has always been programmed - later ported to the X-Box after production has been completed. I like this fact knowing that the programmers have intended this game originally for the PS2, which explains the lack of slowdown and graphical errors in the current versions.

Having said that, the PS2 is the only real applicable option for me.

I don't even care what day I get it. It will be several days before the roster makers have anything to use anyway.

But...we can play on XBL and I might even start a dynasty with a powerhouse while im waiting.

It has?

By anyone in particular?

I'll most likely get it Tuesday. If there's a way to get in Monday, then I will, but I'm getting a discount if I get it on Tuesday.

Just depends on I feel Monday night.

About to head out for an hour. When I return, I'll find the video that the X-Box users have been worried about. It's a relatively new one (within the last two weeks) and it shows definately slowdown. One of the players is actually stuttering in place just as a play has ended. Looks very average and should be on the mind of X-Box gamers this year. It's a real possiblility (the video confirms it exists at least in beta from 2 weeks ago) that X-Box gamers should consider. It's all preference.
