That's ridiculous. APF2K8 has better everything, and you're right. Players move like they should (or closer to it). If you want arcadish movements to help make your defense better, then NCAA gives you that, but that does not equal better gameplay. I suggest learning the plays, and learning what area your player is meant to play instead of relying on a ridiculous speed / movement crutch to make up for a bad defense or poor defensive play calling.

It's hard to see the value of having two different football games based off the same engine unless you are a big college football fan. The gameplay experience is simply too similar, and every year I end up jettisoning NCAA until right around draft time. For a variety of reasons, I think the APF game engine does a far better job of simulating the sport of football. I enjoy NCAA, and I'm sure I'll enjoy Madden, but 2K8 feels more like football. If the licensing was reversed and the 2K engine had both NFL and NCAA licenses while EA used their engine in a fictional setting, I'm not sure how many people would play EA's game.

But that post said you preferred APF for online play. Aside from the bashing over there, I recognized another important thing. You did award APF for online, YET you noted NCAA has better offline play and lasting power. Coughkotakuhasbiasagainsteaandfootballgamesingeneralthoseruthlessnerdscough.
