Well I went out at midnight and picked up my copy of the game. There are some things that I really like and some that really annoy me.

I HATE that they changed the juke buttons! You have to use the right stick now to juke...which means you have to take your thumb off the sprint which screws me up....but maybe thats just me.

I like the QB scramble. All you gotta do is press X.

I really like the new "Impact players." It adds a lot to the game to be watching your impact players and go to them when they are "in the zone."

The whole pregame thing before the games kinda sucks. The only cool thing is when corso puts on the mascot head for his pick. (I had to play Maine for him to put the Bobcat head on :( )

The graphics are pretty good. There still looks like theres some glitches every once in a while, but the running game is much smoother in this game.

Playing online seems like its lagging a lot! I really hope that thats going to change, because its really annoying. It doesn't do it a lot in the game itself, but when your in the lobby and stuff it lags a lot. I also don't like how each online player doesn't have a favorite team anymore.

So, thats my feelings about the game. I haven't tried a dynasty or race for the heisman yet...hopefully those will be sweet.

Has anyone else gotten it? What do you think of it?

Oh yeah, another good thing...they have actual real music in the game. You don't have to listen to nonstop fight songs over and over again.

BTW...I'm still looking for someone to play as Akron in my online MAC league for the game. Let me know if you want to play.
overall the game is improved with its bells and whistles and i really like the race to heisman mode. I got to wear the zippy head when i played OU! 03-wink

you can go back in the options and change the controller figuaration if you want to, but after playing the new way i kind of got use to it. I would lov to be the zips, but i have xbox, the faster system with the better graphics. 04-rock
when are we going to start up ... can we get a list of screen names together... so that we can make a buddy list etc?

As soon as I get someone to play as Akron (hopefully very soon) I'll send everyone an email. It starts on the 22nd

I have to say i bought the game yesterday, I started my heisman race and won my first game, i then went online and i quickly played several people who were very bad a promtley they quit... it seemed they were trying to get used to the buttons online... I didn't not play against the computer since i was eager to play someone online...

Finally i draw a guy who wants to use maryland... Well needless to say. He was on offense for two series, one a deep bomb TD (first play) and the other i actually stopped him. But when i had the ball he returned two punts, one fumble and an interception all for touchdowns. I managed only 2 td's and just before half time as he ran back the second punt I was ready to punt my PS2 into the next county....

needless to say temple is the worst they have ever been.... I might need to play as akron :)

I'm actually kind of surprised how good they made OU. I'm not saying they are amazing on the game. They made OU a C team (I also was surprised that they made Marshall and C+ team). I think last year we were D+. They made OU's kicker really good too. I've been making like 55-60 yd field goals (and I'm usually not good at making field goals). Kalvin McRae, our runningback, is an overall 80 on the game, which is pretty good.

victory, when your online, dose the game seem to lag more when your returning a kick?
I AM NOT SURE... it seems one sided either way when you play... I didnlt see alot of 5 yard returns i saw stuffs or huge gains...

Second its annoying that you have to pick your team everytime now...

I do like that you can pick even teams in the lobby....

I will say someone named somethign like MACconf145 was on yesterday and he refused to play me with NIU when i picked temple....
That's because all NIU fans are worried about our strength of schedule rankings :)

I go to Akron but I don't think I have online capability for my PS2

You can still choose your favorite online team, and it will automatically choose that team for you when you start a game.


Whats your EA screenname? We should play sometime before the league starts.


BTW, did you get that email about the league that I sent out?
--the QB scramble is great holding x you can still pass the ball to any receiver without losing a step

--controller setup just change to 2005 mode already setup for you!!! cool, I couldnt get used to the juke thing nor the switch player with 0 button on defense

--running seems alittle easy, I adjusted my sliders but if anyone has some realistic ones I would like to try them

--I use multiple teams in dynasty mode...so far EMU beat Cincy 38-15 and CMU is leading IU 14-0 in the first....Im not sure if I need to change my settings but I will wait until I play a good defense...Kent Smith injured on first play of season, out for 9 weeks ouch!!!
Yeah, running does seem pretty easy in this game. I've gotten used to the new juke button, its still taking some time to get use to the circle button to change players on defense.

I just finished my first regular season in Race for the Heisman... I went undefeated, played NIU in the MAC championship, won the Maxwell award...and the Heisman! lol I finished 10th in the country. I play Wisconsin in the Motor City Bowl...I'm going to wait till tomorrow to play that.

Before my next season starts, I'm going to make the AI better, cause until the MACC game, it got pretty boring cause the AI wasn't set very high I don't think.
I like the dynasty mode too. I have the 2004 game and I scheduled too easy and was dropped by the MAC after a few years. I didn't recruit well enough. I wasted time going after top 50 bluechips and got left with scrubs. As an independent I scheduled have MAC and half D-aa.

You scheduled too easy and got dropped by the MAC? How the heck did that happen? I've never heard of such a thing.

I would have thought you would have been fired before it got to that point.
EMU and Akron are now available again in the online Playstation 2 league. The league starts Friday, so if you, or anyone you know has an online adapter and you want to play in the leauge, let me know ASAP!
