• Watch your players' Composure Meters -- losing Composure means you risk fouls and turning the ball over
• Team Intensity grows as you make shots and stay strong on defense -- build Intensity to an Impact Moment that gives you an advantage over opponents
• As your team wins more games, it'll appear on TV more often - making it easier to recruit top players and unlocking minigames
• Build up School Pride and use to earn new buildings, training facilities & even the right to rename local streets

NCAA March Madness 07 takes you into the beautiful and exciting world of college sports. It's a full recreation of the feel of the NCAA finals, all the way down to the cheering crowds and cute cheerleaders. Feel the intensity rise in the stadium, then watch as each player responds differently, trying to maintain composure. If they fail, there goes the championship. If they succeed, you move on to the next game -- earning the chance to recruit blue chippers and earn new buildings & gyms. Pump up the crowd, motivate your teammates, raise your own composure or intimidate your opponent -- just like in the real thing. Interact with student sections, school mascots, cheerleaders and even the band. The intense atmosphere that sets college basketball apart is all fully recreated here!

I am somewhat disappointed in this game. The gameplay is good, but EA seems to have removed a lot of the special moves that were present in previous versions. I think its good that there are 100 different button combinations, but 10 moves would be good. It's a fairly easy game, even on the hardest level. I still think EA makes the best sports games out there though.

I'm not sure about these claims of freezing up. I have played a bunch of games and I have not had the game freeze up once. Maybe the other reviewers bought their game used at that crappy gamestop place.

While NBA live has better dunks (and the NBA all star weekend), I like the NCAA gameplay better. This game is faster paced and you can dunk alot more.

This is the first NCAA game I have played since 2003. I like how the NCAA and NBA games have their own style (as opposed to 2003, when they were basically the same). The crowd atmosphere is incredible and you even see the mascot reacting to the game on the sidelines. EA also lets you play as college champion teams of the past, and you can play with a college Patrick Ewing and Micheal Jordan.

I thought this game was really well done, although i would like to see players names in future games

overall this game is fun, but it tends to freeze alot. when in the middle of the game and it freezes, you need to restart the system. i even tried it on my ps3 to see if it would freeze less. no result. the graphics arent as good as the 2k7 college game. overall i am saying, if you buy this game you just wasted 30 bucks.

I haven't had problems with the game freezing (yet!). The problem I've experienced is that my settings don't get saved, despite multiple attempts to save them. SO every time I turn the game back on, I have to redo the game to fit my style of play. That in and of itself takes several minutes. Anything that cuts so drastically into my game time ruins the gameplay for me.

I do like the recruiting. It isn't much different than the '06 version, but there are subtle things. I don't get the thing like Radio Ticker and what not. What does it do? I haven't seen all these supposed new features everyone's talking about like being awarded a new stadium and what not. I kind of feel duped.

It's a basketball game. It's NCAA MARCH MADNESS 2006 revisited. I really don't see enough improvements in this to have warrented it being a true UPDATE or UPGRADE.

I think you should be able to delete existing players on the team to create an open spot. I like to create players but many of my favorite teams are shown as full. What's the point in creating a player if you can't put him on the tean you want to play?

all in all, the game is fun, but yeah it has its problems. Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware!
