Re: Which to Buy? NCAA 07 or NCAA 08? (for PS2)

08 on PS2 / Orig Xbox had QB evade (right analog stick) while in the pocket and receiver direct when you rolled out of the pocket, where you could control a receiver with the right analog stick while moving your qb with the left analog stick. it's pretty cool sending a receiver to open space at the last second before passing it. the 08 graphics (especially on the Orig Xbox) are the best graphics of any NCAA game imho. also there is an incredible amount of plays in 08 compared to 07, but there are some bugs in the custom playbook editor in 08, like you couldn't select all the plays to add to your custom formation (some plays were only available when you selected a team's default playbook) 08 though has a lot of bugs and quirks. some people complained about pursuit angles. the pass defense is very good in 08 though. to limit fumbles, increasing RB ability in sliders (and tackling to keep it balanced) and decrease the interception slider. the defensive awareness slider can help with pursuit angles. there's definitely some new animations in 08 and the whole game just feels much more dynamic and thrilling. 08 had kickoffs from the 30, 07 had them from the 35. i think the open field lateral was enhanced in 08, too. also the momentum meter was toned down in 08 compared to 07. i would recommend getting them both. they both offer something different. even with all its quirks, 08 is a very entertaining game. as far as features are concerned, it doesn't get any better than 08. if they ever fixed the bugs to that game that would be the only football game we'd ever need to play.
