    Awesome - way better than the other NCAA games - this could be the last of the NCAA football games for the original consoles - PS2 and XBOX.

    The Race for the Heisman is a nice touch and the gameplay seems more realistic.

    At first the graphics are disapointing, but the more I play 06 the more I love it. The game play is more realistic than 05, opponents are smarter and I've ran a couple of punts back.

    I have bought the NCAA Football series way back to the 97 edition. I have PS2 and of course I haven't played the game yet, but it looks freakin awesome. I've played Madden as well and I like the gameplay in past years more. Last year was a little improvement with the stadium intensity, but there was nothing added in the actual game.

    Worst game that EA Sports have come out with for NCAA Football since 99. Graphics look like Playstation 1.

    Fixes every significant problem from the disappointing NCAA '05. Best NCAA yet.

    Games looks AWESOME and plays even better. The most fun and deep NCAA title yet. Beats Madden as far as pure football enjoyment goes. Way to go!

    What the heck is Scott Y. smoking, this is the best college game EA has put out EVER. The only thing they still have to fix is that damn LOB pass, who throws the ball like that? But the rest of the game is off the hook.

    9/10 Period. The graphics are excellent way better then 05. I wasn't to excited either after my 20th time playing it.It gets boring sometimes. EA needed something to spice up the series. so they made heisman ad superstar mode. If your gonna buy Madden buy this one first!

    The masterpiece of college football games, and one of the greatest overall sports games in history.
    The game speed is much faster than Madden today. It created more fun, more high stakes, quicker reaction time, and created an authentic feel to how football is played. It's in bursts of light!

    The mechanics were solid. The pageantry can not be rivaled. The soundtrack was the best in sports history. The level of love and detail they put in this game, from the helmet stickers, to the rivalry trophies, to the recruiting, and great competitive gameplay. With the pump up the crowd feature you would fear going into someone else's stadium. It was a joy ride to play.    … Expand

    Best football game I've played. I love the creation features. I can play Dynasty mode as my FCS alma mater, and love that most of the team is accurately portrayed. Presentation is awesome. My only problem with this game is the way blocking assignments are sometimes handled. Slower plays like WR Swing don't work well.

    A great game, but most of the new features don't really feel like they're all that new. [Aug 2005, p.82]

    Thankfully, EA has addressed my biggest complaint with last year's addition of NCAA: the visuals. Everything has been touched up. [Aug 2005, p.111]
