TitanTiger 20,499 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 You guys that went to Electronics Boutique and traded games, do you think they'd give me $10 each for NCAA 2003 and Madden 2003, or significantly less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what they say about Willie Williams in the 2006 version. Is this the first time a college sports game includes academics, or lack of academics in this case? New one for me...

I traded in NHL 2004, and got $7 for it, and NFL Blitz Pro and got $6 for that one. I'd expect for the 2003 games you'd get between 2-5 bucks.

TitanTiger 20,499 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I guess that's what I get for not updating. I just didn't see that many grand improvements from 2003 to 2004 to warrant the update. Just trying to figure out some way to get a deal on it so I can convince the wife to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to figure out some way to get a deal on it so I can convince the wife to go for it. A few weeks ago, the one by me in St Louis had a deal running that for every 3 Xbox/PS2/GC games you turned in, you'd get an extra $10 in trade in. I don't know if they are still doing this (the one where I bought NCAA 2005 wasn't doing this). Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 titan, take em to gamestop they give you a 10 dollar credit if you preorder with your trade in credit....so preorder madden and you get an extra ten bucks or just suck it up..and buy ncaa...you wont be sorry if you hate it, you can still get 40-43 for it on ebay all day long for the next month or so.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Here's my angry story...

Dude that really sucks....I know how bad it must suck because I know if I didnt get the game today, id be kickin over trash cans all over the neighborhood. To the other question...I dont think they will say your created teams name...but who knows...Maybe if your team name is the same as some other teams it might throw a word or 2 in there but I havent tested that out yet.

vatz22au 142 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Also, one thing that is really cool is the atmosphere of night games...you can already tell that they changed the look of the lighting and it looks alot more cooler and realistic.

AUJarhead 70 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Funny sign seen in crowd of Jordan-Hare stadium in the Iron Bowl game I just played (AU wins 28-0)... "Corso is My Hero!"

WarEagle_57 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Last year i pre-ordered an GC version in huntsville so i could get a day earlier than the store in my home town. I drive over to pick up my copy, wait in line for about 45 min....i get up there and they say they won't get the GC version in til the next day. I made them give me my money back since they told me it would be there that day, and i wasn't coming back again the next day when i can just get it in decatur. GC arrives a day late this year too. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. Ya I remember hearing that from another person today...i dont get it either but I can tell you that this game will live up to everything its been hyped about! I am smearing lsu right now 28-0 and the first half isnt even over. The homefield advantage really helps alot. Like on the opening drive, when the crowd in real life is real loud, it is in the game. Not only that, but lsu's recievers were dropping passes left and right because they were "rattled" from the crowd....really cool feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bammanmr 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I walked into EBX at a mall in memphis today at 6 and strolled out with a fresh copy. It's probably just me, but I really don't like the play as much as last year. While it looks smoother, it moves slower (I I have it set on All-American). Caddy looks SLOW on this version compared to 2004. It's a tough adjustment for me. The worst thing about this one is that the DL seemed to get 'sucked' into a blocker, like he's magnetized. Makes rushing the passer VERY hard. Hopefully, I'll get better tomorrow. I have to sleep now. My old man eyes can't take anymore tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No war eagle. Worse yet, our unis look horrible. The white ones have the 'gray creep' and the blues look like they've been rolled in dust. The stripes on our sleeves are f'ed up too. If you have the patience, you can insert names for all the players. I wish I'd known that before I sent that guy my memory card and 4$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
