Campus legend is WAY better. Having to play through the state championship and having your legends stats and prospect caliber based on your performance. Pretty sweet. I do miss them having you to actually study/test your major (not sure if they kept that last year on the next gen systems and the same for the training camp aspect in dynasty mode.). Overall the game play is well done. I don't like the defensive line controls and the hit stick problems.

But since I only had it for xbox before I upgraded to 360 earlier this year I can't make a fair judgement. Overall I like it. The mini-games are fun and the mascot mash up is pretty fun as well. Not a bad game. Definitely worth a shot.

i picked it up yesterday and will finally get to sit down with it tonight.

Its not bad, basically the same game as last year. Online Dynasty adds a lot of replay value thats my favorite part of the game so far.

[S/T]

I actually really like this.

I just finished the first game in my dynasty. Unfortunately, I forgot to change the difficulty beforehand, and I beat FCS South East 104-0.

[imirish06]

do the graphics seem any better or about the same?
next gen wise

[S/T]

They seem a little bit better to me. The animations, IMO, are much better than last year's. I had a dirty catch and run for a TD with Jermaine Gresham where the stiff arm threw off one defender by the shoulder pads with the non-ball carrying hand and then he trucked another guy at the goal line.

it's better than last year. i'm too mentally tired to go into detail after getting my ass drummed online over and over again.

I think we should get a 360 dynasty going, but if anyone else wants texas, they're free to have them.

I think the game is much improved... I find it wayyyyyy different than last year... Much smoother and more realistic.

yeah it's a lot better this year. there are some major glitches though.

if you know you didn't catch a pass right and it's going to be challenged, pause and super sim to the next play. it will stand.

if you go offsides on an extra point, they will tag you for a penalty and they will get the ball back on the 1...but not for an extra point, for a new possesion. they'll score again and put up 13 on you.

recruiting is good. fumbling is rare.

for ps2 its almost the exact same
but it would be cool to have rosters though

Every time I go to challenge a play it says Instant Replay has already been accessed and it's starting to piss me off. Because the "instant replay access" is the post-play replay or the background while I pick a play that I SKIP THROUGH

I think the gameplay is much improved. The fluidity of it is much better.
