[edit] Next-Gen Improvements
NCAA Football 2008 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 will run at 60 frames per second, up from 30 as with its predecessor. There will be 115 detailed stadiums, up from 40 in NCAA Football 2007. The game will also feature a new gameplay engine and branching animation system. This will allow for gang tackling and much more.[1]
The next-gen's Campus Legend mode will contain no girlfriend aspect. Instead, you will create your player, create a high school and be thrust into the state championship playoffs. You will first play a another team from the local you've chosen, and if you win you will play in an NCAA stadium for the state championship. Your performance will determine the scholarship offers you receive, however, like the previous two games, you will also have the option to walk-on at another school.[2]
[edit] Cover Athlete
On February 28, 2007, it was announced that former Boise State quarterback Jared Zabransky will be the cover athlete for NCAA Football 08. [3] Zabransky edged out Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Troy Smith from Ohio State, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, and national championship winning Florida quarterback Chris Leak. Ironically, Zabransky was not drafted in the 2007 NFL Draft, however on April 30, 2007 he signed a free agent contract with the Houston Texans.
