Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Players pick up a little info from taking exams for their major, but this isn't an educational game.
  • Messages:

    Players can showboat on big plays and deliver big hits, but too much showing off will result in a penalty. In some modes, players have to study to keep their grades up.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence :

    It's football. Some big hits get the slow-mo treatment.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The game is part of a series. It promotes the college teams invovled, as well as ads from real companies like Pontiac, Coca Cola, and Old Spice.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About NCAA Football 07

Parents need to know that this game features some controls that might be too complex for young players. Players experience some of the roughness of the sport, like hard tackles, but those who celebrate big plays too much will be penalized. The game includes ads from real-life companies. Parents need to know there is an online mode and that Common Sense Media doesn't recommend online play for anyone under 12.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the role of athletics in education. Why do you think the game developers added an academic component to the game? How is playing sports good for students, and how do sports teams function as moneymaking businesses for their schools? Should athletes have the same requirements as other students? Parents can also use this game to talk about good sportsmanship and to discuss online etiquette.
