27, You think I'm wrong?
yep, you're mixing your game titles. the ea ncaa series:

1998 Rex Grossman *** heis
1999 Charles Woodson *** heis
2000 Ricky Williams *** heis
2001 Shaun Alexander (not invited to NY)
2002 FSU QB Chris Weinke *** Heisman

---I got into the series here, which is why I was surprised to learn about the above guys----

2003 Oregon QB Joey Harrington (4th in heisman)
2004 USC QB Carson Palmer *** Heisman
2005 Pitt WR Larry Fitzgerald (2nd in heisman)
2006 UM WR Desmond Howard (* Heisman from the past)

After looking, it seems there were a ton of heisman winners, especially early on. Those of you who played the old school ones, when did the series really take off?

Crap.. I can't remember which was the first one I had. None of those guys were on the cover. It was for the 1998 season, and Michigan and Nebraska players were on the cover (several players from each team). I know it was EA sports (even the in-game PA announcer is the same as 2006). The only way that Charles Woodson was maybe on the cover of my game was if he was one of the players on the cover.

Anyway, after whatever season that was (I thought it was EA 1998), I didn't get another game until 2003. Between those two games, they lost a really cool feature: the ability to MAKE plays. In that PS1 game, you could select a formation, and go down the line and tell each player to run this route or that route, or block this way or that way. Or on defense, you tell this guy to cover this receiver or play this zone, or blitz, etc. I don't know why they got ride of that feature, but I'd like to see it back.

Larry Fitty I explained above - Heisman winner was a returning student (White) Same thing with last year (Lienart) Harrington and Alexander are the only non-Heisman winners.. It was Wuefuel not Grossman, btw, in 1998

yeah him too :p... looks like you were right about the heisman thing.

I know everyone loves SC, but with the rapid deflation in the SC hype (many of the espn pundits now refer to SC as only the 04 champs), I think it has to be Mr Young.

If its between reggie and vince, i gotta go with vince.

idk what there gonna be doing though, i know they r adding the truck stick feature from madden into the game, so i could see reggie for that reason. If they are going old school heisman winners how can you not have the only 2-time heisman winner on the cover? If defense is the focus its gotta be aj. In short, i dunno.
