I played NCAA 08 a ton and just got the demo this morning. It plays a lot like last year's madden, which is a good thing.
Passing in NCAA 08 was absolutely horrible, on higher difficulties you basically had to run it every down because the defense cheated so much. You would throw it to an open guy and either a linebacker would jump 10 feet into the air to catch the ball, or the guy closest to the receiver would break towards the ball at inhumane speeds and make the interception.
On the other hand, if you did option running plays every down you could easily score 100 points in the game. It was probably the most broken football game to date.
I am happy to say these problems are gone from what I can see from the demo. The difficulty is on a lower setting, but you can tell the defender and receiver AI is much improved...AWESOME!
