The Game Has Passed Me By

I used to play EA's NCAA Football games, probably too much. When I was finishing seminary, all by myself at Berea Lutheran Church in north St. Louis, I played it a lot. When I was living in The Bachelor Pad, my roommates and I had a league. I used to be really good at it. For some reason, I stopped playing it at about NCAA06. I'm not sure why.

Back in September, I picked up NCAA10. Again, I'm not sure why.

The game is way too hard for me. I completely stink at it in every way. It has gotten even more complicated and I simply don't know enough about football, and there are too many new features to digest at the same time. I can't play on a high level. I even stink at the lowest level. Thankfully, they have cheats you can turn on to make it even easier. I have to play with the settings making eat as easy as humanly possible to win.

It is sad. Brett Favre can still play real football; am I too old to play NCAA on Xbox? Horrible.

It looks incredible in HD, though.
