Easy? Yes. Groundbreaking? Hardly., 2006-01-16
Sure, this game is still fun to play; but on the other hand, we've all played this game last year when it was called "NCAA Football 2005." The only REAL difference between 2005 and 2006 is that the latest title is 100x's easier than 2005.
On someone's recommendation, I started out playing on All-American level. The Game Difficulties are Junior Varsity, Varsity, All-American and Heisman in case you were wondering. All-American is STILL TOO EASY by the way.
In my first game as the Seminoles, I beat Miami 72-3. In my next game of the season, I beat the Citadel 114-6. Then for my 3rd game, I beat Boston College 70-13. So, I'm basing my review after 3 games under Dynasty Mode.
I just want to say that "Race for the Heisman" is very over-rated. I don't want to build & create my own player (like an RPG). All I want to do is take the Seminoles to the BCS. If I wanted to play an RPG, I'd go play Final Fantasy. And it's pretty darn annoying that the game AUTOMATICALLY puts you in "Race for the Heisman" Mode when you first load the game into your XBox. 'Dynasty' and 'Play Now' are the only modes I need, thank you.
Graphically, the game is mostly superior to 2005. As far as actual gameplay goes, the movement does indeed look more natural. I do have to ask this question though: did the game designers COMPLETELY NEGLECT the Coin Toss scene? Did no one realize that the players' heads were almost bigger than their torsos?
What else?
- The commentary in the game is still exactly the same as 2005.
- The passing game is way too easy (at least against computer).
- You now have a GREAT chance of running the ball back for a touchdown during kick-offs and punts.
- Despite having the 'Exclusive NCAA License' on this game, EA is still too lazy to give us the names of the players. All of your favorite players are known only by the numbers on their jerseys.
- This game is $50. Why is EA's Madden Football only $40?
- This game is $50, and ultimately, it's still the same game as 2005 (but with a dumbed down AI opponent).
- The Seminole Tomahawk chant is still off tune. And the Gators still have more unique chants than the Noles. Why can the Gators say "It's Great to be a Florida Gator?" The only thing the Noles get are the Victory song and the Tomahawk chant. Doesn't EA realize that fans of the SEC and the ACC actually HATE Gator fans? If EA's gonna charge us $50 for the same game, they can at least market it for the mainstream of college fans.
If you're a poor college student, don't waste your money on this if you already have "NCAA Football 2005." That's money you can be spending on food/dating.
EA, you should be ashamed of yourselves for monopolizing the NCAAF license and jacking the price up. I'm glad your family is eating well tonight while the rest of the college folks have to eat bread & ramen for a week because they squandered their small allowance on your recycled game. Good job. And since you probably still have some extra money to spare, you should definitely invest in some morals.
NCAA 06, 2007-01-10
This football game is a great game. The product was great, and I have loved playing it.
The single best football game I have ever played., 2009-11-18
NCAA Football 2006 is an excellent game. The commentary is superb along with the rest of the presentation. Sound is great and graphics look excellent for an original XBOX game. There is enough modes here to stay busy for a long time. This game is just fun in every sense of the word. I have been playing football games since the NES and this is by far the best football game I have come across in the last 23 years.
I like it even better than 2K5 (2K sports last NFL game). The only negative thing I can say about the game is I have no idea who any of the players are as I follow the NFL and I am not a fan of actual college football. But due to the fact EA is not allowed to put names in for college athletes I cannot dock the score at all. In a sense though it is easier to remember the #'s instead of the names on a team.
As far as game modes go there is enough. I spend the majority of my time in Dynasty Mode. My second favorite mode is Mascot Mode where you can play as the Mascots of college teams. Literally your whole team will be one character but its wicked awesome and this aspect of the game would be great if you have a friend that enjoys football games as well. This game is extremely feature rich though even for single player. There is the Race for the Heisman mode.
Gameplay is awesome also. I suggest adjusting the difficulty to your liking before you get to serious with the game. Obviously a lower difficulty is going to be easier but this game takes the easy difficulty to new extremes. Also there is a Spring Drills Mode.
Basically a great product and it was released in 2005 and I just got this game in Aug. 2009 and I really believe it is an outstanding game. I even take this game over my Madden games and thats no joke.
A fun game, 2006-03-26
I am not a fan of EA they always try to rip you of.I have played 2 games in race to the Heisman the first i played in j varsity the next game varsity. i play as Ohio State my first game was maimi of ohio the next was as you all know Texas i bley texas out like 82 to 8. it was outrages the graphics are good the game is fun so far. I switched contols from 06 to 05 i love to run my QB but playing in 05 controls i cant pull the ball down to run it if somone knows please tell me overall a good game.
Lobs gallore, 80YD TD passes everytime. BORING., 2006-01-06
I can't believe how many people are saying how "realistic" this game is. That can not be further from the truth. All the CPU does is lob the ball down field on 3rd and long plays and the receiver catches it 80% of the time regardless of coverage. What fun is that? This in itself is highly unrealistic. Don't even get me started on the other things this game does. NCAA 2006 is nothing but an arcade game, realism is thrown out the window in this one. EA does not know the meaning of AI. The only difference between the levels is the amount of cheating the CPU does.
Don't waste your money, and don't make EA any more richer, its obvious they just throw these games together. They just take our money and laugh all the way to the bank.
