I purchased the Force GT to use with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Grid with mixed results. Set up with GT5 is simple and the controls work well. I never did get a satisfactory setup with Grid and went back to the controller. A stand to support the wheel and keep the pedals from sliding is necessary; there are several good d.i.y. designs on the web. The wheel does have shifter paddles on the spokes, which I use ,I'm not sure of the real value of the shift lever.

I really like the NCAA Football series so this game was a must have for me. With all new animations added to this year's version it definitely tops last years version.
This is a significant upgrade for the PS3 from NCAA 08, so if you are debating whether to buy the new version my answer is "Most definitely, buy this version". The player control is smoother, greater attention to detail with the stadiums, crowds, etc, and the mascot challenge is an enjoyable break from the action. From the moment I broke it out of the plastic I haven't been able to put it down. Once you have configured the game for your team, there are even unique pictures for that particular team that you will recognize if you went to that particular school.
