Given that NCAA FOOTBALL BY EA SPORTS is a year old, we're willing to give it a few breaks, but the problems with this game are so overwhelming that it's impossible to write them off. The frame rate is so choppy that players seem to be staggering on screen. The controls are frustrating and imprecise. The graphics are sub-par for what the iPhone and iPod Touch are capable of. And because of that, the game ultimately just isn't much fun. The playbook is fine, though, and if you're a die-hard NCAA fan, you may find something to like here. Just don't get your hopes too high.
