Best Value Version? PS2/PS3

[philliesfan980]

I was wondering if someone could let me know which version provides the best value on the PS3 (can be a PS2 version). When I say value, I'm looking for the version that provides the best bang for the buck. I'm not concerned with having up to date rosters, and having I-AA teams in the game would be an added bonus.

Thanks!

After playing every version, most of them recently in an effort to find one and stick with it, I have settled with 06. It's a bit more barebones than 07-09 but it doesn't suffer from the overdone momentum and Jump the Snap of later versions. I've found that it's a pure joy to play in Coach Mode.

i like the PS3 version its a step up in many ways from PS2 and also a step back with not yet having some things that the PS2 does. The AA teams are not in PS3 as well as formation subs but i like IMO.

I enjoy playing Coach Mode too. Any suggestions for sliders, and other settings? I can pick up the game for .01 + $3.99 shipping on Amazon.

Agree 100% for the XBOX/PS2 versions that have been getting love around here lately. IMO, 07 and 08's JTS and overdone momentum ruin the games for me after I get used to the timing and CPU tendencies. The CPU turns into a hopeless idiot if you take control momentum-wise in those games (and in NCAA 07 on the 360 for that matter) and will virtually hand the game over to you on a silver platter via turnovers and bad decision making. Sliders do help, but don't cure the problems.

I haven't played the PS3 version of 09, but 08 is a pretty solid game post patch - still a bit too many pick 6's for my taste (ie, me doing the picking of the CPU), even on heisman with INTs at zero, but not everyone has these issues from what I've read here.

Here's a link to a thread at NCAA Strategies with the sliders I've been using:

I've also read a recommendation turning On Auto Strafe in the control settings but I haven't tried it. Auto-throw of course has to be On or its not coach mode.
