CWSGuy406 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 You need to go take a nap No - I plan on going out to this place five minutes from my house, buy the game, go later and get the pre-ordered copy, and then sell it to a friend. Sweet deal, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA 2005 is going to BLOW away 2004.... You def need to get 2005 There are SO many upgrades... The Conf schedules actually roatate this year, deeper dynasty, All Conference players this year (I love this one), Transfers, Disciplinary actions.. The game is more life like this year AWESOME!!

IlliniKrush Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I think the whole recruiting this is just awesome - as long as you don't use a top power. Otherwise, you can get every damn recruit you want...and that's not that fun. Like at one point last year i started a dynasty with Duke, and tried to lure recruits to my school by winning a few games and trying to get on the map. It's fun actually trying to 'build' a program - not just reload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confederate_48 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 What i used to do was go take on big teams on the road and not be to risky and pull out wins. With home field advantage though its going to be tough to do that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Last year I did a dynasty w/ texas tech, that was fun.....always having a tough schedule. After 2 year i got them to #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Soxnbears it is then... Memorial Stadium is a great stadium. No it's not the best place for a homefield advantage, but it's a nice stadium with great, great sightlines. I once heard a stat (and somehow if cwsox ends up reading this thread he could verify it, maybe, because i just heard it a few times) that Memorial Stadium has the most seats from endzone to endzone, which is really cool. Memorial stadium rocked during the Ohio St game in 2002 (hold on a minute while i reflect, sigh). Last year it was lame because every game pretty much got out of hand, though the Wisconsin game was intense early on (until the roughing the passer call) and because it was a night game.

Last year's version had a good core, but was a little choppy with it's presentation/graphics/controls/atmosphere. I agree. The game play was pretty good IMO, but the functionality of it sucked. It was slow in between screens, and info was slow to access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's version had a good core, but was a little choppy with it's presentation/graphics/controls/atmosphere. The little blip about it on EA's website has it sounding like it'll be massively improving. The graphics look like they'll be better; you can at least tell that's Bracey for once.

IlliniKrush Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Shouldn't Bracey be chucking a NBA style 3 in that screen? Or possibly getting BLOCKED BY NICK SMITH TO END THE GAME??? Never played MM cuz i heard it sucked. Plus i've never been much into basketball video games. But if i hear it's good from you guys i'll probly give it a whirl (or at least play ste...er, soxnbears game lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's version had a good core, but was a little choppy with it's presentation/graphics/controls/atmosphere. Last year's gameplay was so much better then it has ever been. The gameplay was exactly like NBA live. But I agree they still have to polish it off a little bit. I have college football 2004 and will probably get 2005 but you guys are a little nuts but that's kind of how I was for MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Well guys, I just finished my first game. Lost 10-0 to Michigan. Man - it's f***ing loud as hell. The controller shakes like crazy too. This one time I tried to call an audible, and I guess my players didn't know what to do, so when the ball was snapped, my QB just tucked the ball and started to run. It's awesome. The cornerback play is much improved (I had two user picks!). It's an awesome game - I can't start my dynasty till I download the rosters later in the week though, so that sucks. But if you have any questions, let me know. (Oh, and there's a create-a-sign feature. I'm gonna create multiple signs! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
