Football Reviews

This game is great. I just got it yesterday and I cant quit playing it. The best new thing might be the stadium pulse where u can make the fans scream louder and make it harder for the other team to hear or concentrate on running the play right. The "superhit" feature is awsome too, u can jack people really hard and injure them. just go out and spend the money it is defiently worth it

I just bought NCCA Football and I've played it for a few hours, and all I can say is..WOW!!! This has to be the not only one of the best sports games available, but one of the best GC titles. EA has really gone all out to make NCCA 2005 the most realistic college game yet...and they have succeded. First off, the graphics are stunning. A lot of people claim the Gamecube can't produce good textures of player models, but those people should take one look at this game. The lighting effects are the most realistic of any game available, and sutble touches, like grass stains on jerseys and how the crowd looks and acts really look great. The sound is top notch too. The crowd is almost deafning at the home team's field, and the announce team and marching bands are vastly improved over last year's version. But, all that's just gravy on what is seriously, the most deep, challenging, and fun games on the market.

First off, the new "Match Up" stick is a welcome additon. Now, you can pinpoint which DB is nervous or rattled and exploit that for a big gain. But you also have to be smart about this and not rely on the Match Up stick on every down. If you do, you'll force balls into coverage and, on defense, blow the coverage and give up a big play. Speaking of defense, NCCA 2005 includes the "Hit Stick" that Madden 2005 will include. With a flick of the C stick, you can unleash a devestating hit on the running back or reciever and maybe cause a fumble. Watch out though, if you miss, you'll end up face down on the grass. The new "Stadium Pulse" is cool too. Now if you're the home team, you can pump up the crowd on key plays and cause the vistiting team's offense to flunk an aduible. You can also do this while a kicker is getting ready to make a clutch kick. The dynasty mode is the deepest and best of any sports game. You can now suspend and discipline players that are acting up off the field. You can also recruit non football athletes and deal with players who want to transfer. This is awesome for football fanatics, but it may scare off casual gamers. Finally, one of my biggest problems with NCCA 2004 was that your recievers could never catch the damn ball! Whether it was a floater or a bullet pass, they always dropped it!. In 2005, it's a lot easier to complete passes and take pressure of the running game(which benifits from the "Agile Running" system in 2005)

So in conslusion, if you enjoy any kind of football, BUY THIS GAME!! The only way you'll stop playing it is when NCCA Football 2006 is released.

I just got NCAA Football 2005 yesterday. I played it for a few hours last night. So far it has been pretty fun. There are a couple things that aren't so great. The camera shakes sometimes. I highly recommend playing on a large television because it's hard to see anything on a 13" TV. Everything is pretty much the same from NCAA Football 2004. The home crowd meter thing is kind of a nuisance at times. The Dynasty mode is pretty cool. I've played 2004 on PS2 and I'd have to say that the GameCube version isn't quite the same. But it's still worth getting it.

What a great two pack of these two awesome football players. two rivals going head to head. seems like green bay always comes out on top though.

Once Again the magic of McFarlane Toys shows. In this Nfl 2-pack it features pro bowlers Brett Favre and Brian Urlacher. It shows Urlacher in pursut of QB Brett Favre. In that pose it leaves you guessing what's going to happen. The quality is good and is fun to look at the great details on each of the players.

Wow what a great two pack of favre and urlacher. needed to get a urlacher mcfarlane but did not want to give up a arm and a leg to get him . so i waited for this two pack which i waited a while for but finally got wheew. great job mcfarlane toys keep up the good work on all our sports figures

I was disappointed that the beanbag chairs I purchased were not bigger than they actually are. Yes, I know they state the size. However, I was still expecting bigger. The kids love them and they got them for X-mas. They have had them for almost 3 weeks and the football beanbag already has a tear at the seam. I am not happy with this at all.

I love this football beanbag chair. This is a large beanbag chair. My 3 year old son would lay in it every time we went into TOYSRUS. It is a nice large size for him. I have found others to be just big enough to sit in thats it.This is big and he lays across it and jumps into it. I also like that its made to be very light so he can move it all by himself. The bonus is that it comes in sports designs like a football, basketball, and a soccerball. I have priced around and you cannot beat this price, size or quality.

just very sweet. one of last football games that Sega made.

This is a really fun game. Most Sega Football games are good but this is the newest version and the last one they released for the Sega Genesis system. I like it so much I have to order another one through Amazon becuase the one I bought originally is glitched and it is hard to find this game used or new. I highly recommend this game for football lovers. It has excellent graphics you can create up to 26 additional players and the view you get on screen while playing is very user friendly. There are more plays and each team has it's own playbook, or you can choose all plays option and it lets you choose all plays from all teams during game play. You can play up to four players with an adaptor and it has the newest NFL teams. I believe it is even better than some of the new high tech football games that are coming out now.

Don't get me wrong, this item has great detail and is very realistic looking, Deuce McAlister is one of the leagues best but I do not recommend opening this figure, many people including myself have had problems with it standing properly.

The figure itself looks great in package and if you decide to purchase it, keep it that way.

Great looking figure but thumbs down to McFarlane on this one because yet again they are having problems with keeping the figures standing up straight.

Awesome realistic figure but i have opened 2 of them and both do not stand correctly.

Still great for the in package collector!

This is probably the greatest football game of all time! Remember, all you gamers with your 6-8 button controllers and an infinate number of moves and button combinations, this game IS YOUR DADDY! There is no other football game out there that can replicate the hours of fun I get from playing all the games in the TECMO BOWL series. Companies continue trying to portray a "realistic" game, they have forgotten about creating games that are just plain FUN! I have a PSX, but I still have my old NES and Tecmo Super Bowl. I recently purchased NCAA Football 2001. I created a team and won the National Title. I breezed through each team. I averaged 50 points a game even a 77-3 thrashing of Nebraska, which is supposed to be the best team in the game. The point here is that it wasn't fun. With Tecmo, I still laugh at all the goofy animations, like players flying after getting a crushing chop block, or getting hit by a big RB! I still get a smile when the team throws two arms up and down after a TD!

Tecmo Bowl was fun game. It's easy to run the ball, but t is hard to pass the ball because if the reciever is covered it's either an interseption or incomplete. Defence is easy because you pick somebody then all you do is cover the pass and if the run you are there anyway. I gave this game five stars because I can play this for hours.

I have now purchased over 30 boxes of these cards from the local Toys R US stores and am amazed at how many great cards I have pulled from these boxes. I have pulled many high dollar Rookies and inserts including about 20 autographs. These packs have definetly not been searched and repacked. 5 stars to Toys R us and Vintage Sports Cards Inc for having such a great item.

Word of warning to any football fan: This is an outrageous game, with fast gameplay and no mercy style, and this will make any other football game seem boring. So if you bought Madden recently or something avoid this until it bores you out. Anyway, this is a really fun game to play, and it will drive you haywire, recievers not able to catch the ball all the time after a perfect pass, and especially the CPU assistance (gives losing team a total unfair advantage to prevent blowouts), which is too implemented. So far, I have beaten about 18 of the 30 teams and I have noticed that you will drop a lot of balls because the computer hits you hard. But the CPU players always hang on to it. So you may bounce off the wall at that, and some offensive plays are useless and never give you a good result, but all in all, this game is highly reccommended at its new price since it recently went platinum.

Blitz is a really good game it gives you a good amount of plays to do and the new ones are to complicated this has good graphics you can jump on people after the play is over thats fun you can use turbo when you press R1 all the peopl,e i've talked to that have owned the game say it's the best game that is in football if your purchasing it on amazon.com it's a really good price of only [amt].

This game is a game for people who don't like football games. And if you do like regular style football games, you will enjoy the change. Give it a try, you can't beat the price!

wow. i just got my gamecaube as a very, very early christmas gift, and the first game i bought was NCAA 2003....i haven't stopped playing since i first popped that little mini game disc in my new GC system! it is i n c r e d i b l e! the graphics are silky smooth...the animations are fantastic...and the gameplay is superb. gone are the days of the "money" plays...gone are the days of the easy sack...this is college footabll gameplay on the highest level. the pagentry...the mascots...the cheerleaders on the sidelines! i can't say enough about this game! the running game can be very tough, and the passing game is very challenging...but, of course, EA Sports included "slider bars" so you can customize whatever you want about the gameplay. the commentary is terrific with Corso and Herbstreit (sp?) in the booth adding color...the stadium sound effects are insane...the crowd goes nuts... and the bands play on!! whew! did you get all that?? look, i bought the GameCube because i did alot of research, and everyone said how great the sports games were on this little miracle box, and they weren't lyin'. if there is one game you MUST own for the GameCube it is NCAA College Football 2003....it is simply an amazing game. Deep deep dynasty mode...creat-a-school, create-a-player, 50 all mascot teams (yes, you can battle it out on the grid iron with Testudo vs. the Nitanny Lion mascots!), career stats, tropy room, rivalry games with trophies on the line....the list goes on.....buy this game, now.
GO PENN STATE!

peace,

I was thinking of just waiting for the new madden but I got impatient and bought EA's NCAA Football 2003 instead. The graphics are great, the gameplay is smooth, and the controls make sense.

Some things I like:

The passing is easy, you don't have to press a button before you can pass, making quick releases possible.

It is easy to set the difficulty to exactly how you want it. They have junior varsity through heisman, but each element of the game from run blocking to pass rushing is yery customizable, which makes for competitive games.

The dynasty mode is fun, and you can even customize your schedule to an extent.

You can knock over the first down chain guys when you go out of bounds, and the crowds sound realistic.

The announcers aren't too repetitive, and they actually use the player's names when talking about them (in the second year of my dynasty when they have names, in the first year they have only numbers).

Recruiting is fun, more fun than drafting players.

Overall, this is a sweet game, and I recommend it highly.

I bought this game and wow! The graphics are amazing and the rosters are right on target. The controls are pretty simple and the play calling is easy. It includes all of the NCAA division one football teams and has all of the players on the rosters. It is really fun because you win trophies from playing your rivals. It also features all of the fight songs for each team. There are also modes where you can create a team and a player, play seasons or own a dynasty, and play mascot mode to have a little fun. All in all, this game is the best sports game I have ever played.

This is the first of the GameDay series that I have bought and I was very impressed. The gameplay of it is fun and addicting. The intangibles of the game are also very good. It is not perfect though which is why I only gave it four stars. The graphics of the game are alright but the players are somewhat square and blocked out. There is also no announcer. Some phases of the game are very easy and others are very hard. An example of this is the HB sweep. Against most defenses it worked very well and the defense could not defend it. On the other hand, the passing was harder. The only bad thing about the player selection is that it is now outdated. Overall, this is a very good game that is a great buy for a great price.

This is really excellent football. The graphics are a huge improvement, and the gameplay is fast and exciting. I really like the running control, as that is precise and effective. Gameday 98 is a great buy if you are into NFL football or just want a visual showpiece for the Playstation.

Really fun because of competativeness and realism. I like the large selection of play patterns that you can run on offence and defence. It keeps you thinking.
