Kyle gave it a 2: My very first impression when i played this game for the very first time was "Blitz 2000 for my n64 had better graphics than this!" and i still feel that way. I should have expected such, the nascar games are the only good games EA sports has ever came out with. ESPN NEEDS to make a college football game! this game is so bad its just a down right joke. I still haven't found a way to make my QB run for it if I can't find an open WR, he just sort of suffles a bit and then I get sacked...where's the fun in that? the one cool part is making your own college, and making your own players...but its not too cool when the graphics are so pathetic. Don't buy this game, please... instead, harrass the nice folks at ESPN videogames and demand a quality college football game.
TJ Seger gave it a 10: This game is freakin' awesome...buy it!
Uter gave it a 7: The game is well done, but I can't help and feel like it's been done before. It's not that exciting to see only minor adjustments from the previous year, unless you're a big time fan of the sport.
Chad S. gave it a 6: I guarantee that if you do a "blind taste test" with 2004 vs. 2005, the 2004 version of EA NCAA college football will win hands down. There are a few improvements in 2005, but overall, game play has suffered. If you own 2004 and love it as much as I do, don't bother with 2005. Otherwise, if you're entertaining purchasing a solid college football game, 2004 can be purchased for significantly less than 2005 and it's simply a much better product, IMHO. I'm sure some moron who obsesses over the proverbial hype of "latest and greatest" will disagree. So listen to their opinion if you don't mind wasting your money.
Steve M. gave it a 10: Awesome Game! M GO BLUE (for Michigan fans like myself) and i agree that Kentucky is underated. That aside, a great game, definitely worth your time...
Bob gave it a 7: I had never played a college football game in the past, so I am in no way biased to previous versions. In my opinion, the gameplay seemed extremely slow and the control was very sluggish. I prefer pro football and I prefer ESPN/Sega over EA's Madden, but I play them both none-the-less. This game does not rate with the mechanics of either of the pro games. I have to agree with IGN when they asked "How can you add so many new things and NOT make the game any better?"
Brent gave it a 7: NCAA is a good game, but by no means perfect. Homefield advantage does get annoying some times, but it is possible to win away. The create-a-sign mode is kind of pointless, you just pick letters or numbers and they appear on a sign, wow! Defensive backs still drop way to many balls, and when there is a fumble both teams seem to have trouble just falling on the ball. It is a good game, but will not hold up to ESPN Football or its big brother Madden.
Sean R. gave it a 9: This game once again is great. Without a doubt it's still the best college football game out there. The on-line play is good and hopefully all the bugs will be worked out soon. Other than the on-line not quite being up to snuff this is still a game to get.
Joe S. gave it a 7: This game is just like the 2004 version with a few minor tweaks and a few added concepts. Don't expect a revolutionary new football game. After playing for a few hours with a friend and against the computer, this game is frustrating. It seems much harder to get positive yards rushing and even complete a pass. On Heisman, don't expect to catch too many hail marys. The homefield advantage is totally a one-sided advantage. The home team can rattle and screw up the visiting team, but there's no balance to the game. The visiting team has no advantage to counter the "home-field" advantage. Luckily, though, you can turn off "home-field" in the options menu. In summation, I believe this to be a better game than it's predecessors, but doesn't measure up to the hype.
