BCS Disaster #1932758 in my Dynasty. The situation: I just beat LSU in the SEC title game to finish 12-0 and assure myself a spot in the BCS National Title game. Here's where it gets messy. Oklahoma, USC and West Virginia are all undefeated. Somehow a pair of two loss teams are ranked ahead of West Virginia (Texas and Ohio State). USC gets shafted and I'll be playing Oklahoma in the BCS title game.

Question to any 360 players... have any of you had problems with the game freezing? It has happened to me twice now. It says the disc cannot be read despite the fact that the disc does not have a single mark on it. I've heard this has been happening to several players on the IGN boards, and I was just wondering if it has been happening here as well. It's not something I'm hugely concerned with, but it is pretty frustrating considering the console is less than a week old.

Here's a link to those who want to read it.

I think it is a joke, but still interesting.

Uhh... I'd love to see this happen.

Holy shit... ESPN Link

Fun read. And Iowa State in a BCS Game? Haha.

Yay, another 70-17 game.

I picked up an Xbox 360 today and with that came the 360 version of this game. I played an exhibition game to get used to the new controls and was completely blown away with what the game brought to the table graphically. I know this has been beaten to death but it is truly amazing to see the detail that is in this game. I like how you can take snap shots of in-game action and transfer them to your computer (to bad I don't have a transfer kit) Gameplay wise, it was a mixed reviews for me. Sometimes the game plays great and fluid, other times it is sloppy and has it's share of bugs. I don't know how many 360 owners have this game, but if so, has anyone seen the glitch where a defender will tackle you when your five yards away? That one is annoying. Also, I can't run the ball at all. The playbooks are different from those that are in current gen versions. For example, Florida's spread flex formation is not in the 360 version, but the playbooks are still awesome. Overall, I am very happy with the game, but I think it is still a year away from ironing out all the bugs that are in this year's version. Come next year, it could be the best sports game on the market. Off topic, but the Madden 07 preview was amazing.

I really have high hopes for Florida this year, but in reality, another 9-3 season would be great, considering the schedule. The front seven is one of the best in the SEC but the secondary is weak, and inexpirienced. I'm guessing Leak will have a good season, now that the pressure is on from the fans and media to bring in Tebow. As for USC at number one, I have no problems, as I see Ohio State as being very overrated. I like Oklahoma, but not at number four. And Miami at #5? Huh?

The frequency of unsportsman-like penalties is really starting to piss me off. It nearly cost me a game earlier today. Changing the slider didn't do anything either.

Bored, just wondering if I can switch to Florida since AgentBond isn't around?

Is anyone else having huge fumbling problems? In my last two games in my Florida dynasty I've had a total of ten fumbles, 7 of them lost. Very annoying. Also, the PS2 Rosters are up. Quick question.. Does anyone have any idea where I can find either a Sharkport or Max Drive?

Link to 360 Rosters I'm not really sure when the PS2 or X-Box rosters will be up. I've heard late tonight (and I do mean late) or early Friday.

IGN 360 Review Pretty suprising.

I hate doing the rosters myself (I usually do all of Florida's and most of the top players in the game) but I can't find a X-port or Sharkport anywhere.

Florida's is, but I haven't had a chance to check out the others yet. I'll check them out soon.

IGN PS2 Review

I'm loving the game so far. - Florida's playbook is fantastic. New plays, tons of option looks, and lots of good passing routes. Love it. Overall, there are alot more formations on defense and offense. - The tackling is better this year. The hit stick actually works, which is great. Lots of big hits. - Kicking sucks at first, but once you get used to it, it's much better.
