Once you get past that problem, you will find one really fun college football game. Whew! I feel much better now that I have that off my chest. I am sorry, but it was terribly frustrating to call the perfect defense only to have the runner rip off a 40-yard gain on you. I don't even mind the fact that there are a lot of big plays broken, but what bothers me is that you will actually be penalized for calling blitz plays because 7 times out of 10, the runner will just bounce off of your blitzing player and break a big gain. Granted, this is college football and the basic idea of college football is that you never know when the next big play will happen, but this was ridiculous.

The ball carrier will bounce around like a pinball and there will be times that a running back will manage to make it through a series of hits that would put a normal player in the hospital. Let me be the first to go on record telling you that this same thing will happen to you at least two times per game, sometimes more. Why did it not surprise me? Because this was a very common occurrence in the game and it was really frustrating. Ticked me off, yes, but surprised me, no.

This is exactly what happened and the sad thing is that it really did not surprise me. The above paragraph was not embellished at all. Since I blitzed my safeties, the QB was off to the races. Each of my linebackers took a shot at the QB just to be shrugged off like they were eight-year-old girls. He ran directly into the pack in the middle of the field which had three of my linebackers engaged with defenders. He shook off my 250-plus-pound linemen and took off running. Not to worry, because by this time I had linemen converging on the QB from either side. My dude just fell to the ground like a rag doll and the QB stayed on his feet. I slammed him hard and solid about two yards deep in the end zone. I hit the hard tackle button and leaped at the QB. I had control over the player and I was going to lay the QB out in the end zone for a safety. The ball was snapped, my lineman blasted through the line and my safety came flying past everyone and had a clear path at the quarterback. I called a safety blitz because I really wanted to stuff his ass. They had the ball deep in their own territory, so I decided to go in for the kill. I was winning 14-13 and there were only 29 seconds left to the game. What is it, you ask? Here, let me set the scene for you. I think this game is great in just about every aspect except one, and that one aspect really kills me. The reason I lost sums up why I gave this game a score in the low 80s.

It is not that I lost to Utah State, but the way that I lost to them that really ticks me off. Why am I ticked, you ask? Because I just lost to Utah State (I played as the Washington Huskies). I have purposely started writing this review after playing a few games in my dynasty. These are only the tip of the iceberg and we'll fill you in on the rest of the details once NCAA 99 gets closer to release. There's plenty of other new goodies such as an improved instant replay camera, new play-call interface, and a beefed-up Dynasty Mode that actually allows you to be fired from a team if you do a bad job of coaching it. Between this and the new 'coaches camera' that lets you see the play diagram transparently drawn on the field (using a shoulder button), it seems like NCAA 99 could teach anyone the X's and O's of the game. For starters, there's an offensive and defensive play editor that allows you to draw up a play, then immediately practice it on the field. NCAA 99 will also be chock-full of new features to complement the improved graphics and gameplay. QB's can now do pump-fakes, running backs can juke at the touch of a button, and defenders cover receivers much tighter. Those who played last year's game will remember having an easy time with the game's bad Al, but judging from this playable version, NCAA has gotten a whole lot smarter and more realistic.

But the changes between this year's NCAA Football and last year's game run deeper than the presentation of the players. The most obvious difference in NCAA 99 is that it's polygonal and has wrap-tackles and other things associated with being a 3D football title. The first one to benefit from this is NCAA Football 99. Instead of having its college games use year-old game engines, the games are now being developed concurrently with EA's other sports. It seems that EA had a change of heart when it came to developing its college sports. NCAA Football 99's Coaches Camera literally draws the entire play on the field for you.
