The colors were not as vibrant taking a turn towards the pastel hue, not good. 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 was saddened to see in my opinion the best football franchise ever finally get tinkered with in the wrong way. 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. 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 overall player graphics were worse in every way. Atleast in 04 you could expect to realistically smack around those early season foes. 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. The only good thing to come out of this game seems to be the matchup stick. 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. I played the you know what out of NCAA 2004, best football simulation I've ever played. NCAA 05 has a major problem with passing more than anything else, especially after the loose and fun gameplay of 04 I had enjoyed.
You deserved more than whoever programmed this crap as your swan song. 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. I mean some of the games I was playing in the NCAA 05 season were absurd. Another problem I had was the look of this one compared with 04. The hit stick worked better on Madden seems to me.
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. Way too hard to complete a pass on this game takes alot of fun out of it its that simple. The crowd thing is pretty cool I guess if you're a fan of earthquakes hitting while you try to hike the ball. RIP NCAA Football.
You can now notice a difference in the atmosphere between the Swamp and Alcorn State's stadium.(sorry Alcorn State fans) Between plays they now show the fans celebrate, dance, hold up signs, and do stuff like Hook em and the gator chomp. The big hit stick lets you lay a huge hit on the poor reciever or running back. This year your players can break the law, flunk out of school and do other things to get suspended. You make shedules, redshirt players, name captians, and read the weekly eddition of Sports Illustrated. I have been a huge NCAA fan since playing 2002 and I have every game since then. I was playin the Georgia-Florida game and as my UGA bulldog caught a TD pass as time expired, he did the gator chomp to taunt the UF fans.dynasty- This is the part of the game that is the best. Dynasty is the part of the game that makes it the best football game in history.
EA sports has also added improved user-controlled celebrations. As the coach, you controll the punishment, but don't let your players off too much or you could get probation. You recruit high school players and you can even make your own recruits. Gameplay- The biggest and best thing this game has added is the stadium pulse.
First of all, let me say this is by far the best game in the series. Toward the end of the game, if the home team is getting blown out, it will show them leaving. If you have any questions about buying the game, just go buy it.p.s.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS SIC EM WOOF WOOF WOOF :) On defence you can pump up the crowd and it rattles the offence and makes it difficult to audible. The match up stick lets you see how good the players are and if they are rattled or not. This is the best game I have played on GC. You control a couch and you can go from team to team trying to win a national title or you can stay with 1 team for up to 30 years(I'm currently on my third).
The hits are fun to watch and to hear the crowd reaction, but it is really hard to time it right and you wind up missing a lot of the time. Some other great features are the match up stick and the big hit option. Now you can choose to make the fans, your mascot/cheerleaders, or the player to celebrate after a big play-not just a TD like last year. It has great replay value and makes a daily trip to my GC.
It is awsome. I have not played an NCAA game since the NCAA 2K series discontinued. I decided to try this game. Best football game out (with the possible exception of ESPN NFL 2K5)HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE is the best.
Back to the question you 3rd on 30 40 seconds to go do you pass, run, or kick its your choice is yours so go rent, buy, borrow, or whatever to play this game. Some of the old players play different than the new players old players sometimes don't play as good as some of the new players The special effects are great when you tackle someone really hard because their helmet flees off. This game is good because it has old collage teams to select also. Its 3rd on 30 you got 40 seconds to go down by 2 points do you pass, run, or kick you could go for it and maybe turn it over.
So go buy or rent NCAA football 2005. The graphics are good enough to see their hair wave in the air. Because the computers are just as good as you on this game. The players play just how you want them to play. In most games when you tackle someone that hard their helmet won't fly off they won't do any thing but fall to the groundIt is the best football game I have ever played between the graphics and the defense.
Usually games are based on how good the players are but not on this game. Most of the Gomes you can't see there hair in this game you get old teams swell. Sconce the graphics are so good in this game I thought it was allot better than what I was told buy most of my friends. Second of all this game is based on how you play not on how good your players on the team are. On the game case it recommends 7 and up but I say 8 and up because the controls are so confusing.
The home field advantage is nice, but it didn't seem to affect my team, positively or negatively. One thing they didn't do was fix the bugs from previous seasons. When I looked at his season stats it said he had -2090 yards. I'm not going to go over the details of all new features, but give you my impression of the game compared to last year.First, the graphics are pretty much the same. I used the matchup stick a lot at first, but I lost interest in as the season played out.
The matchup stick is an interesting feature, but I don't know that it belongs in the game. On the last game of the regular season he went over 2000 yards. One of my receivers/returners had almost 2000 punt return yards. It would be nice if they changed some every year. They have more detail in the crowd, but the players don't look anymore realistic than they did last year. I just finished playing my first dynasty season in NCAA Football 2005 on the GameCube and I was pleased with game. If they'd release this on the PC, I'm sure the graphics would be amazing (hint, hint EA).
This bug has been in every version of NCAA Football and it needs to be fixed.In spite of the lack of progress and bugs, I love this game and I will probably play 10 dynasty season this fall and winter, but I am a little disappointed that there aren't better improvements and new features. This is mostly a limitation of being a console game. There is a bug where if you gain too many yards in a season, it turns it into a negative number. The new gameplay features are interesting, but I really don't think they make much of a difference in the game. They did make some improvements to the passing game, but the game still features rushing more.The voiceovers are the same as last year (and the year before).
It is great to see what DBs are worn out or lacking confidence, but isn't that cheating. Apart from the players, the rest of the graphics look more polished than they did last year. I don't get to see what play they called, so why should I get to see how a player is doing other than by observing their performance. He went from being first in the Heisman race to being 4th because he lost all those return yards.
