I have finally come to terms with this game. I have accepted that there are too many turnovers on both sides, and there are some plays I can't run (like the money option). So it certainly isn't a perfect sim, and stats are off. However final scores are good, tough teams are tough and cupcakes are cupcakes. So I have managed to enjoy it.

But I am going to be very cautious about purchasing '09. This is not a silly boycott threatt. It just that I spent way too much time working settings/sliders for both the momentum riddled '07 (old gen) and Int-fest '08 (Xbox). I won't go through that again.

There seem to be a number of folks that have gone back to their old gen versions. While I didn't take it that far, I can understand why. Hopefully EA has read some of these posts because it speaks volumes. This is the 2nd year of NCAA on the next gen, and 3rd year for EA football. I don't recall any posts like this 5 years ago with people perferring the PS1 version over PS2/XBOX.
