    More than half of the usual NCAA modes are missing.

    All the hype of the new NCAA football game from EA SPorts seemed almost too good to be true, and we've learned that our instincts were right, unfortunately. [Sept 2008, p.88]

    With things like multiplayer mini-games removed, no online, no create-a-payer, no create-a-team, a shaved down (last year’s) Dynasty Mode, Shrine, or Campus Legend modes. This is less a full NCAA game, and more a demo of possible years to come.

    A weak attempt at making college football more accessible to the much-exaggerated, casual Wii demographic. Most players will find this game utterly dull and a waste of their time and money. This is a title that should only be purchased for very young gamers.

    Missing modes -- no online, no Campus Legend, no create-a-player, and no minigames (which is a must for the target audience) -- further illustrate the game's shoved-out-the-door nature.

    I think it is a great game and fun. You can play as and FCS team as well as FBS team which is great. Also I just like college football gamesI think it is a great game and fun. You can play as and FCS team as well as FBS team which is great. Also I just like college football games and this is just that. You recruit and try to make your school the best. The gameplay is a little to simple and also really hard to throw an accrurate pass because shaking the Wii remote controls almost everything but I still find enjoyment from playing. I love when you score touchdowns you shake the Wii remote really hard to get make the crowd louder and this gives you an attribute bonus. I really wish you could create you own team or have other modes but overall it is a good college football game and it is on the WII… Expand

    This gets a four just because I love college sports. This game seems like it was made for six year olds. I know the wii is great for younger This gets a four just because I love college sports. This game seems like it was made for six year olds. I know the wii is great for younger users but the makers have to realize that adults enjoy sports games much more. All of the fun things about NCAA football games has been taken out of this one. If their goal was to create the worse football game for its time, then congratulations.… Expand

    There are a ton of little bugs that should have been caught. Just seems like a rushed title for the Wii. Not a fan of this game at all.    … Expand
