Video Game Reviews of NCAA Football 2005
Customer Review: Taking A Step Down
Summary: 2 Stars
I played the you know what out of NCAA 2004, best football simulation I've ever played. Skipped 05 at first for Madden, which I initially thought was a mistake as I was not all that much impressed with Madden's very limited gameplay. I just can't stand football games where you cannot juke a tackle and in Madden 05's case, someone being way too open over the middle way too often. But as soon as I learned that NCAA 06 was not coming out for gamecube, i went ahead and got 05 on ebay figuring it was its last stand for gamecube. NCAA 05 has a major problem with passing more than anything else, especially after the loose and fun gameplay of 04 I had enjoyed. Way too hard to complete a pass on this game takes alot of fun out of it its that simple. Another problem I had was the look of this one compared with 04. The colors were not as vibrant taking a turn towards the pastel hue, not good. The overall player graphics were worse in every way. When the games are played at dusk, its as if there is a fog in the air, less care takin in cleaning up the graphics obviously. The crowd thing is pretty cool I guess if you're a fan of earthquakes hitting while you try to hike the ball. The "hardest places to play" thing is worthless and the rankings of these stadiums don't make sense to a real college football knowledgable mind. The hit stick worked better on Madden seems to me. The only good thing to come out of this game seems to be the matchup stick. Of course this was the only way to pass - look for the mismatch and hope your reciever isnt magically blanketed by some db from ball state. I mean some of the games I was playing in the NCAA 05 season were absurd. I had USC who obviously in 05 were probably the best team to ever play college ball, and crap teams were batting down leinart's balls like they were nothing. Atleast in 04 you could expect to realistically smack around those early season foes. I was saddened to see in my opinion the best football franchise ever finally get tinkered with in the wrong way. RIP NCAA Football. You deserved more than whoever programmed this crap as your swan song.
