Yeah, it looks like it's going to be hard to use at first. I predict I'll be sacked a lot whilst trying to find an open receiver.

2) Offensive pass blocking: your offensive linemen have the skills of a 10 year old. Note I am playing a Race for the Heisman with SMU, so the players are not very good, but neither are the players I am playing against. Many times in a pass the DT will stunt, and theoffensive guard and tackle will just stand there bewildered that the defense would pull such a sneaky tactic, allowing the guy to come through untouched. I always keep my eyes focused on the line for the first few seconds of a pass play, I started doing that last year after getting sacked a lot, and 60% of the time I have to high tail it out of there, usually with little success. Note that the CPU's pass blocking is superb, and it is next to impossible to get through them without calling a 4-3 blitz.

I found the offensive line to be quite the opposite. With WVU I usually have atleast three linemen with 5 pancakes blocks or more. It seems to impove alot from last year. But thats my opinion.

Im doing a Run for the Heisman right now with Virginia Tech, awesome game, load times suck but usually loading the menus are quick. What pisses me off is the fucking AI's passing, they always hit their man. Its annoying.
Same though, my offensevie line is steller.

Well remember I'm SMU, so that's probably why, it just seems really stupid at times.
I just had my #1 greatest game of all time. SMU vs. Tulsa oOo: happy:
It was a rainy night, and the two teams were going back and forth. Tulsa scores on their opening drive, and I do the same. Tulsa kicks a FG to make it 10-7. I kick a FG to tie it up at halftime 10-10.
Tulsa comes out in the 3rd ripping a huge asshole in my defense. No matter what play I called, they fucked me over with their west coast shit. TD. 17-10, no big deal, right? Next posession my Race for the Heisman guy fumbles the fucking ball. Two plays later Tulsa launches one. 24-10 end of 3rd. Fuck.
I come out in the 4th with some running. 20 yards here and there. TD. 24-17. Tulsa punts, I'm in good shape. Next posession the fucks blitz me like a bitch and my OL does jack shit, fumble, their ball. Next play TD. 31-17 with 2-something left. Next posession three plays 68 yard TD pass. 31-24. Tulsa throws a little pass out to the flats, and my impact CB strips the ball from that little bitch. I mix up the running and passing to get a 2 yd TD with 40 seconds left.
Tulsa fucks my shit over and throws a bomb, of course it's complete, my fucking CB was still jacking off at the line of scrimmage. They're on the 18 yard line with 20 seconds left. Sack. Timeout. Next play sack. Timeout, 4 seconds left. 4th and 28 they throw another fucking bomb, and my two fuckheads are having a circle jerk with each other, don't even bother to defend him. TD with no time left. XP is good, 31-31 we're going into OT.
I win the toss and elect to defend first. I shut those fags down. They pass on 3rd and 7, but only get 6 yards. They kick the field goal and it's good. 34-31. My posession first play I take my heisman guy and run it down to the 5 yard line. Next play 2 yards. Next play I stroll into the end zone. 37-34. Game over.

I played UTEP, and their first play of the game Lee Corso says, "Their offense has really dominated this game." GG Corso. I won 73-10, three INTs returned for TDs.
Also SMU just recruited a 330 lb tackle named Michael Jackson.

Thats one thing I dont understand. They hardly ever add anything new to the voice acting or anything. Its the same shit every year it really makes me mad I even turned it off after playing the new one it got so familiar.

Did you ever blow somebody out halfway through a game in a neutral field (ie SEC Championship, Big XII Championship, etc..) Brad Nessler would say, "And the crowd has quieted down," "The crowd has gotten quiet but I don't blame them," "This crowd's not as loud as they once were" every single play. I had to turn the sound off completely it pissed me off so bad.

Which is why I turned off all of that because they would do the same thing through out the whole game. Just annoying, I wish they would expanded the thing but Nooooo.

i think the o-line has improved alot, but they really dont function like real o-linemen, wheres the cutblocks? wheres the real pass pro and run blocking?
i have the game on xbox and the load times are fast, and race for the heisman is pretty lacking in my book, but overall NCAA is a damn good game on the xbox.
ive always sucked at madden and its not as fun for some reason, im not planning on getting it.

Ive always enjoyed NCAA more than Madden for some reason. Madden seems to lack in my book. No loud stadiums I mean come on they expect the stadiums to remain the same volume through out the game? Last year you couldnt even run the ball barely but hell you could bomb the ball. I mean Carolina is my team, and yet I could get Hail Mary's with Jake Delhomme even though he isnt even a long ball QB. Seems to me they are just there for the big names and the big plays.

I don't know, I dominated the game with my rushing in Madden 2005. We would have dorm hall tournaments, and I would always win with rushing.
Even when the rules were to pick bad teams, I could win with a decent RB. For example, Washington + Clinton Portis = winnar. San Diego + Ladainian Tomlinson = unstoppable. As long as you know when and where to use your spins, jukes, stiff arms, sprint, and the triangle button to plow over a defender, 250 yards+ per game and 3 TDs is not out of the question. I could do this against the computer as well.

I wish in NCAA they had names on the back of jerseys. Not just nubmers and positions.
I just won VT vs Maryland Terps 73-14

I noticed in NCAA that it is practically impossible to stop the AI on All American passing (and I guess it's even harder on Heisman). Though my secondary is rated a C-, i have the number defense in the NCAA through simulation, but whenever I face a good QB, the opposing team goes 11-14 with 200+ yards and 2 touchdowns. It's even worse when they are able to complete the short yard passes which are impossible to complete for the user (especially when your players drop the passes). The deep passes have become ridiculous; I was losing 31-14 in the 3rd quarter to USC, and knowing well I would lose, I decided to Hail Mary it for the rest of the game. I ended up winning 48-42.
