It's fun to play college ball. I like the NFL, but it's nothing like the college game. The atmosphere, the debate, the excitement. Unlike the NFL, every game is basically a must win. And there's nothing as fun as building a team into a championship caliber team. Can't beat all the conferences, the 120 teams, the different style of offenses, the BCS Bowl games. Yes, a playoff would be AWESOME, but I must say, it's fun to see who's playing who in what bowl and trying to get that BCS Bowl bid.
Don't forget Online Dynasty. This is a must buy if you're a gamer and a college football fan.
My opinion anyway.
