Yes god forbid anyone dare have an opinion that differs from yours.
If you look at previous years Madden has outscored 2K (Under the old scoring system /100) at Operations Sports and NCAA 2004 was given the title of best sports video game of all-time (voted by everyone - staff/members), with a plaque sent to Tiburon for their efforts. Just thought I would throw that in before the "OMFG TeH OS is biAseD aGainsT R BEEELOVED TIBBY" rants started.

Cripes, I'm going to have to learn how to play this game on the PS2. Maybe I should just buy a broadband adapter too while I'm at it.
Ok, so I got my copy. I wasn't planning on getting an early copy, but when I read that the store right by my house was selling them, there was no point in waiting. I'll need the head start for the league anyway First thing I'll look for is slowdown (and I promise I won't lie FMT).

Yo, want to get a game in later tonight? I want to test some things out.
Shpankey: Yes.

Sure. What kind of XBOX are you playing on? I was playing on my old thompson and it's chugging (but it chugs on some other games too). Also, I'm playing with 480p and widescreen on. I need to try the game on the Samsung XBOX and see if it's the XBOX. Let me know what time you want to play.

The best NCAA 2006 impressions that you are going to get:
http://sportsgamer.blogspot.com/
The above lists Bill Abner's impressions. To sum up: there are still dropped balls, All-American is too easy (when was it ever not?), and his brief impressions of Heisman are very positive. I'm looking forward to his next update.

Woah hold on there compadres. There are still drops but not nearly as much as last year's game. What I have found though, is it really depends on what team the player is using. As the TCU Horned Toads I had horrible blocking and a ton of drops. I was basically making things happen with my HB as my only offense. My QB kept over throwing or leading way too far, on top of my other problems. I restarted my Heismann mode and got drafted by FU 
lol) and it's been awesome. It's a passing team but my created HB is killing the stats and is having a fantastic season.
All American is definitely not too easy. The guy above seems like he really plays the hell out of all of these games, so of course it would be easy for him. Fact is, I've played All American games which I have won 35-10 and games in which I have lost 21-0.
I personally really like the game despite having no affiliation to any collegiate sports team. My main problems are:
Impact players, especially HBs, have TOO big an impact. It's hard to stop them when they are in the zone.
The juke is too powerful. Yes, perfectly timing it in a videogame should yield a reward, but not 100% of the time against AI. I defy you to tackle me in the open field head to head.
You have to put up with a lot of the BS from last year's Madden game. This one is self explanatory.
I can put up more if you want, but I need to save some of this goodness!
PS: No online sliders.
For now though, the pluses, especially Heismann mode, far outweigh the minuses.
Edit: I agree with bill on running being crazy powerful. But the default difficulty is Varsity.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world heÂ’d rather have. The problem is, DwyaneÂ’s not a woman.
"You have to put up with a lot of the BS from last year's Madden game. This one is self explanatory."
oh noes :lol So does that mean I will be able to launch the ball the length of the field and catch it 90% of the time like I did in last years Madden and NCAA.
I'll just find me a couple of impact WR's

I don't really practice that, but I've not been succesful when I have accidently tried it. The DB AI is actually pretty good. Only time it falters a bit is on deep bombs. (Same with Madden this year, ugh. In fact, don't even get me started on Madden's passing game in general.)
Terrible news for HDTV owners, it still has slowdown when playing in widescreen. I tried both XBOXs, one launch, one brand new, and both chug just like last year when in widescreen. I put the XBOX in 4:3 and it's perfect now (I also had to turn off the screen shake). I can't comprehend how Madden runs so smoothly in widescreen and this game has the same issues for 2 years straight. Oh well, I have to play in 4:3 which I have to adjust to since I'm used to seeing slot receivers and such.

Also the blog guy lives in Columbus Ohio and always uses Ohio State so of course that makes AA easier than if you're using an average team playing in a tough conference like I do.
This slider code thing is a great idea, why didn't anybody think of it sooner?

Ok, I've never been one of the great Madden or NCAA players who scores like crazy. I just played FAMU, and I must say they are the worst team in the history of college football. For reference, I am playing with FIU and I had just lost to Kansas State, 35-14.
I beat FAMU 133-28 (All-American difficulty). I had 2 kick returns and 7 punt returns (I hadn't scored on special teams once until this game).

CompUSA seems to have it here... Hhhmmm, still trying to decide if I should just wait for Madden or what. Definitely waiting to see what you guys think of it before I take the plunge.
