This is the most disappointed I have ever been in a game since I started playing video games in the 80s. The graphics look designed for a 3 year old, the control scheme is awkward, the playbooks are nonexistent, the stadiums and fields don't look accurate, and you have to celebrate with the remote after touchdowns to get the stupid looking kiddie mii characters fired up to gain momentum. The quarters are defaulted to 3 minutes and there are no replays or scenes between plays - after a tackle, you are already huddled up again. I unfortunately threw away my receipt so I couldn't take this garbage back, so I went and bought the PS2 version which is totally fine. If you love college football and have a Wii, don't buy this - get it instead on PS2, PS3, or Xbox 360.

After years of making the market standard for sports games, EA missed badly on this one.
I do like the passing controls (hold a direction on the D-pad or 'A' and make a passing motion), and juking is fun as well (flick the nunchuk in the direction you want to juke). Play-calling is a little sloppy, but it gets the job done. A point-and-click system would be great, but unfortunately they didn't go that route and we're left to navigate with the analog stick.
Other than that, though, this game was a major disappointment. The graphics are terrible even by Wii standards (worse than PS2, which should not happen, ever). There are some tack-ons that I assume are related to All-Play, like shaking the remote after a touchdown to get the crowd into it. The screen fills with stars and there is a sound effect like a cup filling with, uh, some liquid to go along with it. Not cool.
I played as Nebraska, and the first thing I noticed was that even though the screen said I was playing at Memorial

I was really looking forward to getting this game. I was really disappointed today when I opened my package and started the game. The graphics are absolutely HORRIBLE. They are an insult to 1998 graphics. I don't even know where to start. First, the crowd is completely flat. The graphics are similar to a game from the mid 90's, and for that reason it is almost impossible to play. Even the field looks terrible. Yes, there are a lot of stadiums to choose from, but with bad graphics, who cares? Ok, now for some of the specifics.
Yes, you can shake the wii remote to control certain actions, such as on offense, you can snap the ball, pass the ball and evade tackles by shaking the remote. Also on defense you can block the pass, give a big hit or rush the QB all by shaking the wii remote. Overall, I would say that part of the game isn't that bad, but the controls are very simple. (Note to EA, buy a copy of PES Soccer. Copy their player controls. You will have a lot of happy customers...)

When EA announced the first NCAA game for a Nintendo console since 2005, I was ecstatic. Being a mostly Nintendo guy myself, I've been longing for an NCAA game for four years now. I even bought a PSP last year exclusively for the NCAA game. So, naturally I pre-ordered NCAA 09 for the Wii from here at Amazon. It just shipped Monday and I received it today, so I was dying to try it out.
I started with the "Play Now" mode just to get the hang of it. On the Wii, they've added a new "All Play" feature that pretty much allows anyone to be able to play it. It's a simplified version of the control scheme that pretty much uses a shake of the Wiimote to perform all the actions. That's fine and the fact that you can still use a more traditional scheme as well is good. However, it seems like they added this in lieu of all the good features.
After some research online, I found that the Wii version has no online content at all. Granted, it's Nintendo's fault as much as it is EA's, but it's
