    This review is coming from a person who has spent over 100 hours playing Madden 2005, and who has never played an NCAA game. I thought I'd pick this up for the "Race for the Heisman" thing, but it seemed way too overhyped for what it actually does. You just run a madden-like minicamp drill with a customized player. That's it. ALso, the gameplay seems a lot more block-like than This review is coming from a person who has spent over 100 hours playing Madden 2005, and who has never played an NCAA game. I thought I'd pick this up for the "Race for the Heisman" thing, but it seemed way too overhyped for what it actually does. You just run a madden-like minicamp drill with a customized player. That's it. ALso, the gameplay seems a lot more block-like than Madden. Lastly, I don't see much replay value in Heisman mode, especially when you win the Heisman your freshman year and have no motivation to do anything else for another two seasons. Dynasty mode was very cool, especially the season-long recruiting. My favorite part of Madden was the draft, and in this game it has to be the recruiting. If you are a college football fan, this game seems far too good to pass up. however, for the NFL fan like me, Madden will seem much more at home.… Expand

    Playing with the Xbox controller is just as responsive and tight as the PS2 one. The gameplay in this is extremely tight, and the game overall goes by with more speed emphasized.
