Gamespot has posted a hands-on look at NCAA Football 08's Campus Legend mode. The videos of the game that have recently come out have been from Campus Legend so it is giving people a good opportunity to get a feel for it early.
Overall it seems to have a lot of potential, especially since it appears significant changes were made to the camera angles that single-handedly killed Madden's Superstar mode.
Some things of note from the GS hands-on:

It appears that the first gameplay video from NCAA Football 08 has made its way out. While it is tagged as being PS3, the icons on the screen show that it is from the Xbox 360 version.

-Game was described as being in "mid-alpha" stage. So still relatively early in the development cycle
-The "Hit Stick" has been improved. You now flick the stick up to attempt a high tackle, or flick it dow...

NCAA Football 08 has also settled on a date and will be coming out on Tuesday July 17th.
That leaves four weeks seperating the releases. Last year the two games came out five weeks apart. NCAA Football releases on the same week as it did last year, however Madden will be one week earlier....
Two images of NCAA Football 08's menu screen have found their way out, originating from a post on ncaastrategies.com. Click the thumbnails below to view full size.
A couple observations to make from examining these.
Obviously these are from the early stages and unfinished, given that Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson is in the pictures while the team listed below is Ohio State.
They likely represent the current generation menus, notably these specific ones coming from the PS2 as the b...
TeamXbox and Gamespot both posted articles presenting the first information on NCAA Football 08 as the clock struck Midnight PT last night. Some of the main points of interest are recapped below:
Lead by Example: Expanding on the 'Impact Players' this will allow any player on the field to influence their own play as well as the team's by succeeding on the field. The better an individual does, the more confidence they will gain. No longer is that restricted to only the few impact players o...
