I need to break down and buy a 360, but there are just so many other toys I want right now. Damn kids and their money draining powers.

I, too, would like to purchase an XBOX360; unfortunately, I don't have the capital right now. I sure hope Microsoft lowers the price for the "bundle" including the hard drive. I read on a few forums that they may drop the price of the bundle (including the hard drive) from $399 to $299 and such a price drop has been speculated for awhile. However, until we get official confirmation, then those rumors are pretty much uncorroborated; LINK.
I still have my trusty XBOX, nonetheless.
Ted Ginn on the front cover? Under NCAA rules, I thought collegiate athletes weren't allowed to do any endorsements or anything of the sort. I do know Matt Leinart was suspended (for a day or so)--but reinstated in time for the Rose Bowl--for merely saying, "Sportscenter is next."
Like them or not, it should be down to either Reggie Bush, Mario Williams or Vince Young for the front cover. Nevertheless, I'm going to be more concerned with what's "inside the box" as opposed to outside of it.

there's a darius cover on this page. if you go through the thread several others are there. this is a good starting point. as of right now, the custom covers for 07 aren't being mass produced yet. but i'm sure they'll be out soon. happy hunting

I heard they totally revamped the blocking schemes in this one. They really needed to really bad. I am a power football guy, so I live and die on the option. And not that sissy Urban Meyer spread option crap, I am talking about the wishbone or the T. The flex run plays are not effective because the linemen AI is so poor. I hope they really fixed it this time. Escpecially since the game will be like 55 dollars. Jesus thats a freaking keg.

Sports games are always better on PS2, imho. I'm excited about '07, it'll probably lower my GPA by at least .3
It'll be interesting to see the player ratings. Samardzija's ratings will skyrocket, which should make the game a bit more fun.

Here, try this one:
Credit to Hokie20 at Operation Sports for the template; as a matter of fact, you can go there and download the template from that link (registration needed). I merely inserted the shot of Quinn, and worked in the black-greyish "spins" in the background.

The Xbox 360 version of NCAA Football 07 was available to play on the E3 show floor, so we took the opportunity to get hands-on with the franchise's first appearance on the Xbox 360. Graphically, the game looks spectacular, getting a Madden-esque treatment as far as the level of detail put into stadiums and in the character models. You'll see meticulously crafted stands and 3D crowds surrounding manicured grass fields, with shadows cast by light fixtures and press boxes shrouding portions of the crowd depending on the sun's position in the sky. Player models also look much more detailed, with visible musculature on arms and calves, and helmets that glint in the light with their glossy surface. Not all college stadiums will be included in the game, but the development team is putting focus this year on getting the high profile home fields in the game. We noticed for example, that the Rose Bowl looked pretty accurate with the same of the press box at the top, and the backdrop of the San Gabriel mountain range to the north.
The play calling interface has also taken a cue from Madden for the Xbox 360, as you can pick plays based on formation, play type, key players, or by asking Lee Corso for his recommendation. On the field, we immediately noticed a new kicking system for the game, which requires you to pull back on the right analog stick and then push forward in time with a meter in order to measure out your power. Your steadiness with the push forward effects the direction of the kick, and presumably, how much you hook or shank the ball. What's interesting is that on punts, you don't just snap the ball with the A button as normal and then kick. Pulling back on the analog stick initiates the snap on punts and then you push forward to step up and get the ball away. If you wait too long in order for the power meter to rise, you run higher risk of getting the kick blocked.
The development team has given you some new tricks on defense, such as a noticeably larger playbook. It feels like there are almost twice as many different plays to choose from. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that you're more easily able to browse through different packages of the same base formation with the play calling interface than in past versions of NCAA Football. On the field, you can tap the Y button off the line to try and get a jump on the snap. Obviously pressing this button before the snap will result in an encroachment penalty, but if you can time the snap just right, the defensive lineman will knife right into the backfield to blow up the play right from the get go.
The main thing we noticed about the feel of the game is the wealth of new in-game animations. Finally, NCAA Football feels like it's getting a premium graphics treatment, as you'll see decleating tackles, where the defender knocks the ball carrier right off his feet. One time, while running a delayed blitz with a linebacker, the computer-controlled fullback stepped up and chipped the blitzing LB right in the side, knocking him over sideways to buy more time for the quarterback. Horse-collar style tackles (despite being illegal in the NFL) are available in the game when you run down ball carriers from behind, and on most basic head-on collisions, you'll see player models do a better job at actually wrapping up the man that their tackling. Running backs can drag one or more defenders for extra yards, and roll back over the top of players on the ground as they're taken down. A defensive lineman who gets a free shot at the quarterback can truck the passer mercilessly, knocking him flat on his back and then crawling over top of the prostrate QB on all fours. We also noticed a new throwing animation for QBs who throw short patterns with touch. We could go on for pages about how the game looks in motion, but suffice it to say, NCAA Football 07 will be college football as you've never seen it before, if our brief play test was any indication.
Unfortunately we didn’t have an opportunity to check out dynasty mode or any other play modes, but we were more than satisfied by what we saw with the basic gameplay.
Release date: 07/18

I think one of my favorite times at ND was 2004-05 talking to Brady about whether he plays with Notre Dame and how good his guys is.... the thing he wouldnt get over was his speed.... to the point where he was actually going to start challenging some of the people rated higher then him just so he could like EA know

Thoughts on if the gameplay will be much different on the XBOX 360 than the PS3 (allowing for the fact you won't be able to get a PS3 until the season is 2/3 over or so I've heard)?
BTW, I would totally fail out of college now with network gaming and NCAA Football. Thank God I graduated a few years before that all hit the world!

I pretty sure they are not going to release a version for the PS3 this year. It's not listed on EA's NCAA 07' site.

Its pretty tough sometimes going to class and playing NCAA, but usually since it comes out during the summer my thumb is about wore out by the time school comes around so I stop playing it, plus real college football is on.

Looks like we have the #1 rated QB, #2 and #20th rated WR's, and the #6 rated RB in the game so far...pretty good offense if you ask me.

Ambrose Wooden is rated the #17 best CB in the game. Kinda surprising considering how we got burned in the Fiesta. I have always thought he was a solid player.
