I need money so I can buy this...

[A-Dub]

That's the best part of a late June birthday, money isn't a problem when it comes to NCAA.

Fuck, Thanks to reminding me about Madden Nation. They have a bunch of shit over there if you're looking for info about the game since EA sent them copies.

$54.36 is what it costed me with 8.75% Tax. Just so ya'll know.

Does anyone know of a good place to get rosters so I can inplant the names in as soon as I get it.

If you're willing to pony up money, there are a ton of sites on eBay that sell memory cards with the roster files, as well as the first four graduation files to upload into Madden for the draft for the same price as a normal 8MB card ($24, IIRC).

Other than that, I guess just search for it on Google.

I wanted to post in here and tell everyone that since CompUsa has been selling some copies early rumor has it that the game may be getting shipped and released from some places on the 5th or 6th and some are still following the 11th and 12th.

Take it that how you want to, I don't really know what to say or if I should belive it but thats what I've been hearing.

[Hugar Twriker Eats Spam]

Anyone have it yet?

[Damian WayLNKe]

I haven't been able to get someone to sell it to me yet. I don't expect EA to lift the street date of the 12th. I'm hoping that I will be able to get it from Target though.

Just to let y'all know, DVDPlanet.com has it available for pre-order at $35 with free media mail shipping (5-10 days).

I went with EB's trade in deal, it's a good deal if you have a bunch of games you've already beaten, 5 trade ins gets you Madden or NCAA, I got both.

This is, by far, the best NCAA yet. Not that it shouldn't be, though, seeing that downward motion would make no sense for the series.

All problems from last year (slow down, long loads, etc.) have been fixed, and then some. Actually, much, much more. There is a load of new stuff this year, but the College Classics have been taken out. Other than that, I see few problems with this year's edition.

One crazy thing that I've noticed. When you score or get a first down, the cheerleaders' arms seem to have more joints than they should, and often twist in excruciating ways. It's not noticeable at first, but I started noticing it this morning at about 5am. I figured it was time to head to bed.

There are some restrictions but they take PS2,XBox, and GC in any combination.

[Cole]

I'm still waiting for my copy, I know that it's just about 30 minutes away (the little tracking things tells me so) but since it's so late now I doubt I'll have it until tomorrow

[A-Dub]

Wow, UCLA's TE really is a beast, he can pull you out of just about any situation...

[oldskool]

How are load times for PS2, if anyone knows? I've heard that they're way faster than 2005's, but others have said they take 2+ minutes per simmed week. Which is right?

[Cole]

I got the game and it's pretty good from what i've played.

oldskool, I haven't played/simmed a week yet but the other loading times are faster then last years...if that helps any.

[A-Dub]

Is it just me or does the "Stadium Pulse" do more harm than good? It seems to me at least that whenever i get it going, something bad happens.

EDIT- Also, the CPU gets players in the zone after something like every third play! Thats insane! But other than those two things, and the commentary rehash, this game is awesome, very realistic.
