This game is a MUST for the diehard college football fans like myself. It doesnt matter that you can buy it 2 years later for less than $10, it brings you back to two years ago when your team was amazing (Oklahoma). The Dynasty option allows you to coach/recruit/play, and is the best part of the game. I will say that I am a 3-time national champion in just 3 years of play. Maybe I should make it more difficult. The crowd option is also great when you are playing the computer, but better when you are playing your friends. The screen shakes and their controllers rumble... it can cause an interception if they aren't careful! I would recommend this game to ANY college football fan with an xbox. You'll find yourself playing for hours!
I haven't played 06 version so I am basing this off previous versions but I think EA sports did a great job with this one. One thing I look for in a sports sim is not just game play but managing ability too. This game truly combines the two. Whether you like just playing or managing a team to build a dynasty - this game has it all. Game play is great. You can see the details on the field and really make some great plays. The game truly excels in this. The commentating is lacking and gets repetitive esp in a blowout so that definitely can be improved upon. Managing - this is where EA excels. As a coach you have complete control. You control scheduling, training, recruiting and Discipline - its great. NCAA will put you on probation if you don't discipline your players - they will get into trouble and you will just enjoy the control you have over almost every aspect of the coaching realm. You can adjust your audibles and change your play book. IMHO - One true test is how addictive a game is even months after you buy it and this is one such game. I continue to play it and enjoy it even a year after buying it. I highly recommend this game and if 06 is anything better go get that one. For the bargain shoppers 05 will server your needs and then some. Disclaimer: I am an eBay employee and this review is my own opinion and is not written on behalf of eBay.

ME AND MY HUSBAND PUCHASHED NCAA FOOTBALL (XBOX) ABOUT TWO-WEEKS AGO. WE PURCHASHED THE GAME FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME NOT THE TENNIS, THE FOOTBALL GAME WILL NOT PLAY, HOWEVER THE TENNIS GAME DOES. WE WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT THE FOOTBALL GAME DID NOT PLAY, BUT WE DO LIKE THE TENNIS GAME. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE GAME WE DID NOT KNOW THAT THE GAME CAME WITH A TENNIS GAME AS WELL, SO ANOTHER WORDS WE DO NOT FEEL LIKE WE REALLY GOT WHAT WE PAID FOR. THE FOOTBALL GAME FREEZES WHEN TRYING TO PLAY IT, AND SAYS DISK DAMGED!
4 me its thebest of the xbox franchise I love ncaa football & ncaa 2005 is awesome!
