NCAA Football 2006 - Roll Call

Pages

I am picking this one up on release day and want to know who else will be getting it. Once I retrain my fingers from ESPN NFL2K5 I would be interested in some good online play. Does anyone know if we can form leagues in a similar vein of our 2K5 leagues? Anyone know any good sites for this game?

I'll most likely be picking it up, too. Impressions I've seen are that it is better than the unfortunate 2005 release.

PS2 or Xbox?

Xbox for me.

I'm GameFly-ing it for Xbox. If I like, then I might get it and play a season.

I'm probably going to wait until it shows up on Half.com for $35.

I'm getting it

I will probably pick it up for xbox.

I'll pick it up too
for xbox

Will it give me a chance to control Wyatt Sexton off field acting all crazy and stuff?

<---FSU fan

When do games like this start showing up "used" at EB?

EDIT: I mean how soon after release, generally?

Mine's already paid for as soon as it arrives...

That is if Hurricane Dennis doesn't blow it and me away...

If it plays like the 2005 version? About a week after release.

I am a big Miami Hurricane fan myself having grown up there. Mine is paid for as well and I will be picking it up on Tuesday :). Apparently Wyatt will be missing the season due to Lyme disease Karma.

Yeah, I already heard that.

Oh well, we'll see what happens with one of the freshman QBs. Hey Chris Leak was a freshman rook once too!

OK, if the reports I've seen are true, and Fresno State is rated 30th, below the Virginia team they beat in their bowl game, AND friggin UCLA who we whipped in a 2003 Bowl and has barely stayed bowl-eligible since (6-5 last year!!)... then this game can shove itself up its own ass.

Mine's already paid for just waiting for the call Tues. Depending on what kind of options are available for seasons/tourneys and what not online I'd be interested in playing.

If it doesnt have a bowl/tourney online feature - then we can make one up ourselves and just run it manually. If we decide to do that I will try and come up with a way to run it using web posts etc... Or if there is a lot of interest we can pick a conference and everyone plays a team from that conference etc... and then we let the results dictate the "bowl matchups" or we can just play single game tourneys and advance etc... So far I have purchasing it/favored teams:

1.) SpyNavy (Favored teams: Miami Hurricanes/(Really any SEC team)/Navy (hahhahahah) )
2.) Simpilot (LSU and LSU only )
3.) karmajay (Favored Team: Free Shoes U)
4.) ruthlessmuffin
5.) frankiemumbles
6.) squirrelmonkey (maybe)
7.) wineglass (maybe - Oregon)
8.) Legion (maybe - Fresno State)
9.) Grumpicus (maybe)
10.) firesloth (maybe - Louisville/Notre Dame)
11.) Redhwk (Oklahoma)
12.) Logan (USC/UCLA)

Add your favored teams and I will update the post. If we have fewer people - we can run a small seasonal tourney and throw in all the college hoopla ourselves, if we have more - we can do the same it just may take more effort :). If anyone is up for a game on Tuesday - let me know, I will need some serious retooling since I havent played in awhile. Orange Bowl here I come :).

Just as soon as someone sends me a free Xbox, I'll be picking this one up to play with you guys.

Yup ... any day now.

I want to play the game before committing to playing in a league, but if the game doesn't suck, then mark me up for Fresno State.

Logan may play too. He'd be CSU Long Beach if not for the fact that the team folded in 1991.

I'll rent it, and if it doesn't suck, I'll buy it once it shows up in the used bin at GameStop/EB. At that time, Big Al will be stampeding up the field and over any poor fools who think to get in his way.

I'm not sure I can handle another football game. I'm still getting plenty of play out of regular old NFL2k5.

I never see you on anymore Thin except for League games - succumb to the pull of College football... You know you want to have to retrain your fingers and brains like the rest of us ESPN players...

I may be picking this one up...it'll be a rental first. I'd love a league/tourney with either Louisville or Notre Dame.

Well I have too many other games to play right now to just pop in 2k5 at random. If you see me actually on and around just ask me for a game on Xfire. I'm usually still up for a game of 2k5 assuming I have the time to play.

I will be playing as LSU and ONLY as LSU thank you very much...

I already feel conference rivals coming together for the big Clash of the Titans.

Oregon is my preferred team. In a pinch, I can blind my opponent with my hideous yellow uniforms!

I'd say right before Madden 06. You'd be surprised how many people buy this just to tie themselves until Madden's release. Plus, Gamestop, and most likely EB, will be having a trade-in promotion of trading in NCAA 06 towards Madden and get something like 20% extra (or somewhere along those lines).

Actually last year, I distinctly remember someone trading it in the same day of release because they couldn't stand it.

I'm game, Oklahoma please.

Ok well we have 6 definites now - enough for a mini tournament. If Frankie and Ruthless provide teams (if they are interested in online play) then we can maybe make a test run this week if/when everyone is willing and/or ready. Some possible good matchups with Free Shoes U meeting Oklahoma and LSU meeting Florida or Miami in the coming week. Exciting, aint it?

Wuss. Real men take UConn to the national title.
