    Get your tail-gating party ready! This year's NCAA Football 07 has great new features and enhancements for you and your favorite collegiate team.

    The all-new Momentum System allows you to capitalize on big drives and defensive stops to propel you through for the big win. But be careful, just as playing sports in real life, momentum can also take a tumble, and then you stumble. You and your team will have to maintain the upward momentum to keep the opponents at bay.

    Want to really get into the mind of a college football player… literally? In the Student Athlete mode, you live the life of a player, on and off the field. As a student, you'll have to balance your time among classes, practice and even your social life. How well you perform at each of them will determine your overall character standing. The ultimate goal, of course, is to win the Heisman Trophy. Please note: this feature is not available on the Xbox 360.

    You can still build a collegiate football empire from scratch in the Dynasty Mode. Most features remain relatively the same, with the exception of High School recruitment. EA has added in-season recruiting, so big-time recruits will visit your campus on game weekends to check out your team in action. And, as in previous versions, you can export your draft class into Madden NFL 07 and continue your dynasty at the pro level.

    The authenticity of the college football stadiums has also been enhanced to an uncanny realistic replicas. Other enhancements include new gameplay mechanics, such as Jump the Snap, Slide Protection, Smart Routes, Defensive Hot Routes, and Precision Passing. Included are 11 mini-games and drills. Some are helpful practice drills to hone your skills; others are just cheesy like Mascot vs. Mascot game mode.

    All in all, NCAA Football 07 is an exciting, action-packed game, with excellent graphics and many play modes. Whether you are in the mood to play a single game, live through a player's entire college career, or build a collegiate football dynasty, it's completely up to you.
