Best Overall Last Gen NCAA Game?

[econoodle]

hi all, i am looking to dive into an old ps2 NCAA and I am coming in here to see which one u guys think its the best overall.

I would like presentation sand stat overlays to be at the heart of it.

From what I have read Ea's 2004 seems to be the way to go.

What does it look like guys?

thanks.

NCAA 04 and 06 were my favs. Can't go wrong with either one IMO.

08 was my first and only NCAA game on the last gen and I really enjoyed it.

06 hands down

I never played it, but wouldn't it stand to reason that 2010 is the best? isn't it the most recent one released for last gen?

I would have to agree with the guys who have stated that 06 was the best one I do have to agree.

06 gets the vote from me

on the field play I would say '04. '06 would be my #2 for last-gen.

06 and 04 was the best last generation.

Most recent don't equal best. Not by a long shot.

okay, but what makes the game that's 4 years older better? did the game play go down hill? did they remove features? from what I know once current gen hit they stopped making big changes to last gen so in theory shouldn't 2010 be an updated version of '06?

Why not pick up '11? It most likely more polished and balanced than the games previous and will be easier to find in stores.

pretty sure 2010 was the final year for the PS2 version

Re: Best Overall Last Gen NCAA Game?

thanks for the thoughts so far guys.
question: what happened to 05?
a few liked 04 and 06. what happened that year?

also, i agree that a newer game does not mean better.
perfect example for me is Madden 07, which is my favorite. 08 had less features [that i liked anyways]

Also madden 05 is regarded as the best of the bunch, but 06 gets no love.

games do and can get worse and then rise back up again.

getting back to NCAA, 05?
it lost some luster after 04? what brought it back in 06?
