A deflected pass leads to improbable catch and an interception return for a touchdown. Cue the fight song because momentum has shifted to the home team! It's time to don the shoulder pads and lace up the cleats, EA Sports' NCAA Football 07 makes its debut on the Xbox 360 (current generation Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions also available).

The biggest addition to this year's game is the momentum meter. With momentum on your side, your players perform better. Shift momentum with big plays on offense or big hits on defense. The momentum meter increases play calling strategy. You've got momentum: do you play it safe and keep the edge or try and put the game out of reach with riskier play calling?
