NCAA football 2004
 

Hey, is anyone going to be playing this game online? I couldn't stop playing 03. July 17th woo hoo.

Can't wait for this game to come out too. The best feeling I got from this game was creating a great RB, importing him to Madden to get drafted, and becoming a first round bust. Ah... just like in real life.

I didn't know the game was going to be online. Is it for both X-Box and PS2 because if it's online for PS2 i'll be playing it.

from what I've read its online just on the ps2. But I could be mistaken.

how much of an improvment is this game over 2003?

36 new AA teams
20 new mascots -- 70 total
5 new fight songs
165 new teams
10 new formations
Over 200 new plays
More trophies to win
More bowls


Graphics are supposed to look a little better. Addition of something called ea bio. I'm not to clear on that. Improved dynasty and recruitment process. New camera angles. It'll save you ten greatest games using some process. 20 of the top real life classics ( I hope to NU and Michigan). So on and so on. Check out ign I dont think its locked anymore.

Sounds like a really good game i cant wait for it. Pitt is going to the Sugar Bowl Baby!

I'm looking forward to this game even more than Madden. Last year was my first year back to NCAA since '99 on PSX and I REALLY liked the improvement.

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! (Since we won't be beating anyone else...)

Hell yea this game will rock. The online thing is why I am buying it. I still waste a lot of my time with madden online. Check out my site and you'll see why.

NCAA will soon be there also

I didn't think I would play it that much, but it's been played non-stop in the house. Really good game. Looking forward to 04.

I can't wait for it to come out. Imma play it online. Finally get a chance to show off the option game.

Its going to be Oregon over Miami again and again and ....

i don't think they anyone out there that can contain the fat baby.

I picked up the game yesterday. Pretty good so far. It seems to be harder to run. ( I'm playing as LSU, HB=90) Maybe its just me, but theres a lot more interceptions on both sides. Looks better. The magazine covers are pretty neat. Havent played online yet.

How does it compare to 2003?

I got it too... seems to have gotten a bit tougher, but then I play with Buffalo and Navy.

Lots of new Div I-AA teams. Haven't tried on-line, I don't have an adaptor yet. But it is keyboard compatible (a MUST for those of us who fix the rosters) and supposedly the mic and headset from SOCOM work with it for voice chat.

There is the new EA Sports Bio feature which tracks the amount of time you play each EA Sports game form now on, and rewards you for reaching time milestones on each title.

The commentary is basically the same from 2003, I've already heard lots of the same comments from last year. This is much less annoying than it would be on Madden, though. They have added new lines too, though, so I don't mind as much.

Definitely improved over last year. The gameplay is more or less the same, but there are new features and teams so the overall game is expanded. I recommend it!

They caught me off guard realeasing it early. I can't get it until tonight, i hope its still in stores.

goddamn.. i also want this game and the last football game i bought was quarterback club '96 :)

Go Boilers!

I dont know if this was in 03 or not, but I'm chasing a fumble with the computer right beside me. Right when I'm about to pick it up, the computer pushes ( actual animation) me aside a picks it up. Amazing stuff. Much better than 03 so far.

I have 2003, so I doubt I will update. The difference between college games and professional is the lack of player names. The whole # thing sucks.

As for it only being online for ps2, that is totally EA sport's fault. They refuse to us XBOX Live as an online system for xbox because they invested money creating their own system.

Shame too because I would much rather play Madden than Fever.

Yeah, I would have loved to have played this game on live.

EA bio is a marketing ploy to end all ploys - you get more points the more EA games you play.

But I like 2004 and have it for my PS2 - I'll be all up in your grill on multi once I get settled in my new digs...
