Also, as it's closer to now the status quo of the game is more similar to real life in dynasty mode. Could be fun. 10 might be a better shot. I had 10 once. I have 11 now. I only ever play 07.

The problem with 10 and 11 is the recruiting is so whacky. You literally will have 20-30 five-star QB's and WR's and the highest-rated D-lineman could be a 3-star. 09 is much more balanced and the ratings aren't OP like 11. You could sign a 5-star QB and multiple WR's who are rated 85 or higher as a freshman in '11.

Fair enough. Also have and never play 09. But there's 2018 rosters and dynasty files for 06 and 11 and maybe 09

Sorry I'm late to the party.


NCAA 2011 has medical redshirts which are a nice touch. Sucks having a player get injured in the first game and losing him for the year and losing that year.


One major glitch in 2011 is the program standards are out of whack so the deeper you get into dynasty everyone is losing scholarships. I counted 37 of the 130 programs being on probation in my game. There were so many bowl bans a 3-9 team made it to a bowl game.



Realistically you have 0-5 teams on probation at a time in CFB for that 06/07 are better IMO.

So true, the #1 DE in the nation is a 3 star in my current sim (uh what?) and he was rated 70.



You kind of have to cheat to get a defense rated better than B+, you have to convert LB's to DE to get a 90 rated DE. Recruiting them/developing them is impossible.

One thing I prefer on NCAA 07 over 06 for PS2 is 07 had a 12 game schedule instead of 11 and they replaced Athlon with ESPN for the first time.

Just went in my garage to see which ones I have. I’ve got 06, 07 and 09. Any offers? Got a PS2 as well. Never gonna use it.

Is there a forum to sell here?

You could do 11 or 12 in either but 11 was still the norm in 06 for sure. 06 has that dope soundtrack but I honestly get tired of that sometimes and like to hear the bands.
