A year after the lackluster NCAA Football 07 raised more red flags than a greasy booster donation -- missing features and shoddy gameplay, to name a few -- EA Tiburon has responded. NCAA Football 08 rights the wrongs of last season and begins its sophomore campaign as one of the most enjoyable football games of the past few years, thanks to a revamped gameplay engine, a deep dynasty mode and one of the most addictive modes in recent memory: Campus Legend.

Selecting a player to be on the front of a video game has been anything other than an exact science. There has been a stigma attached to players on the front of the Madden Football boxes known as the "Madden Curse".
The college games have to deal with a different process because current college student athletes are not allowed to be on the covers due to NCAA rules. Selecting a player that was hot the year before has been the common practice for the most part. Sadly the players they select often times do not amount to much after their years with their college teams.
A new NCAA Football Gameplay video
I am impressed with the demo for this game despite the fact I have thought the next-gen versions of NCAA and Madden have been subpar up to now (to their credit, they have been getting better). Maybe this is finally the year "next-gen" gameplay/responsiveness can match "last-gen's".
I hope Madden is better though.
Dynasty Mode is good, but I really wanna play other people but I can't because the servers that EA has is so garbage. The game moves slow, when you push buttons it's so unresponsive. I give it a 7.5 just because the offline mode is decent
