Recruiting atheltes, switching positions, and A FREAKIN 75 MAN ROSTER!!! In the words of Homer Simpson, "WOO-HOO!"
May 06, 2004 - With Home Field Advantage, you already knew that the fans were going to play a big role in NCAA Football 2005. What you didn't know was that some of those fans yelling, jumping, and going out of their minds, are fans that you're going to help create, or at least the signs they're holding.
Introducing Create-A-Sign. NCAA is going to feature a number of cut scenes (think ESPN NFL) that show fans doing everything from the Gator chomp to the tomahawk chop, and gamers will be add their own twist. Before games, you can create custom signs that say anything you want. If you want to go the G-route and say "Go Cardinals!" then that's your prerogative. If you want to go the O.G.-route and say "Cal sucks and so does your mom!" then you have that option as well. Then, throughout the game, you can add humiliation to your opponents by watching as your fans show support by not only making audibles hell to call, but by also holding up your sign and taunting the man holding the second controller.
And while it's always fun to taunt, there are some exciting new gameplay features that have also been revealed.
When running your Dynasty, program integrity will now play a major role. The NCAA will watch and try to make sure you're running a clean program, and that involves everything from benching a player for missing a workout to recruiting to making sure your players aren't skipping class. You'll also have to manage player feelings for the first time, as freshmen might get frustrated with their lack of playing time and try to transfer to a rival, so during blowouts, you'll need to make sure to rotate in all of your players to make them happy, while at the same time maintaining your lead.
Other improvements include the ability to recruit players as athletes and not necessarily by position. There might be a high school star who plays QB, WR, and DB, so you can add him to your team and try him out at a variety of positions to see what sticks. You will also be able to switch him to new positions throughout his career once you find his best spot.
Other additions include full 75-man rosters for each squad, and the inclusion of more Division 1-AA schools to the game's already overwhelming list of teams. And while the game will not include a "Hit Stick" like Madden, there are a number of big tackles that have been added to the game, along with more tipped passes to add to the chaos in the open field.
Looks like another winning season for the NCAA franchise.
