NCAA College Football 2006 - Page 8

TRR · 07-12-2005, 07:44 PM

I picked mine up last night. I am loving the "Race for the Heisman" feature, but I can't stop anybody on D.

What does everyone else think of the game? I was hoping the College game would have the vision passing so I could get a leg up on that for when Madden 06 comes out.

Desmond Howard on the cover?

TRR how much was it when you bought it, all in total.

How much did you spend for it? Did you trade anything in?

Guys, I'm playing on default Heisman right now, and this game RULES.

The running game is so much more fluid than in years past.

Still going well?

...this looks pretty cool. It at least looks like more than fluff, since you can track the interest level. I never got to the recruiting part in '05, so I'm looking forward to seeing 2 years worth of improvements.

Yes, it's still going well.

I have a method I use for sliders that involves using CPU vs. CPU simulation to get the game to play correctly prior to tweaking for the human player.

In year's past, on both Madden and NCAA, it was necessary to play on All-American (All-Pro) in order to do this -- the defensive AI on Heisman (All-Madden) was so jacked up that neither team could score, so realistic CPU vs. CPU testing wasn't possible.

I simmed a bunch of games yesterday, and CPU vs. CPU simming on Heisman is working beautifully.

By the way, I think I'll move this to the gaming forum so we can find it easier. Anybody opposed?

I oppose, cause the gaming forum isnt on the front page and nobody looks at it when its not on the front page. I mean it hardly gets noticed over there.

Interesting. I've never tried that, but it might be less frustrating than my past method.... couple notches to the left. Couple of notches to the left. All the way to the left. Everything all the way to the left. Place XBox in far left corner of the room.

Seriously though... is the game pretty balanced in terms of running/passing for you and the CPU? You mentioned the passing was fixed -- is it still better at Heisman? Is the competition top-heavy like it should be? '04 mastered this, but '05 seemed to level teams to the point that it everyone was competitive.

If people have played it enough to know it's more similar to '04 than '05, then I'll probably end up buying it... it's not like I need perfection (see: 100+ sack season by Nick Reid

), but I have about another week before stuff slows to the point where I could put some time into it... and at that point it might be 24/7

Well, this thread has degnerated into just a handful of us that want to post on it.

If it doesn't get moved, it will eventually get buried.

The original Madden/NCAA thread from last year is in the Games forum and it's still going...

It's definitely more like 2004.
