I don't know if this has been posted but I just go the new OXM and NCAA 05 got a 9.1.

Highs
Looks much better then the PS2 version
Crowd Roar is unbelievable
On feild play is strong

Bad
Controls can be sluggish
Little variations in playbooks
Simulating off-season takes forever

The only bad thing that I see that worries me there is the slugish part.

I can live with the other two.

I would love to be like so many others and convince myself that this is a bug that will be fixed by Tuesday. ARGHH!

that's two totally different things... your thinking of the gameplay being sluggish while this says the controls are bad.

Exactly man. It's what I was saying in ALL of the xbox vs ps2 threads. PS2 has better/responsive control for EA games because they program on ps2 and port to xbox. With that being said I've got the game ordered on ps2 and xbox both but will no doubt play ps2 far more cuz of the superior control.

I had 2003 for PS2, 2004 for Xbox. I'm going with the Xbox this year for a couple of reasons. The control (Last year, anyway) was not a problem for me at all, I actually like the Xbox controller for football games. But the positives like quick loading times, almost neverending save space, and better graphics have drawn me back in this year. Just my personal opinion...
