NCAA Football 08 Campus Legend Hands-On
We go from being a star player in high school to a backup college player in our latest hands-on with NCAA Football 08's campus legend mode.

Once your high school career has wound down you'll be presented with a list of the schools that want you to don their colors. While this is a small victory, your journey has just begun. Do you go to a small school where you'll come in and challenge for the starting job right away, or do you swallow your pride and ride the pine at a major program? We chose the big school route and headed off to Nebraska to see if we could channel our inner Tommy Frazier. As expected, we were way down on the depth chart. Heck, we were lucky to just get into the stadium. But we didn't come this far to be a glorified water boy; we came to play, and that meant working hard in practice.

While a backup quarterback's role is mostly limited to mop-up duty in blowouts, other nonstarters will need to be prepared to contribute to special teams, both on offense and defense.

One thing I didn't like about earlier versions was that you could join the team as a freshman and start before a Heisman contender. Looks like they're fixing that.

By the way, it appears that it will be for Xbox360, Xbox, PS3 and PS2.

Its business, the next year they release it for PC is the last year everyone will need to rush out and buy it... after that all our gamers will just edit it and update it themselves with new players and stats, and add all the names and features as well. It would destroy their product line.

I hope the gameplay is much improved for the 360 this year. Both NCAA and Madden's gameplay sucked, IMO.

Agreed. When bored over the summer, I sometimes tune into the Madden Challenge (ie Tournament). Watching the nation's best players play, it was clearly apparent that the new madden was far more gimmicky/glitchy than the last-gen counterpart.
The Wii's Madden blew away any football game I've played.

Wasn't it just the xbox version? (which is of course, superior)

It sure was a ton of fun with the nunchuck/wiimote interactivity, but it didn't seem different.

Outside of user tackling, I'd agree. The Ace up Nintendo's sleeve is the DS. With the DSes interoperability with the Wii, where the Wii can function as a DS Download Station and 'push' Wii content via DS Download Play, third parties will begin building around both the motion controls and the DS as an alternative conventional controller. Pushing the playbook from the TV screen to the DS allows multiplay at one location where you could select plays in 100% secrecy from others in the room, and could even allow you to 'draw' up plays or just 'draw' hot routes right on the touch screen.

The current Pokemon-mania is demonstrating this DS-as-Wii controller functionality overseas, so this isn't just techno-speculation; the ability to do it and the dev kit is already there. The Japanese are already enjoying it.
