I get both every year and as plenty mentioned above NCAA has been beating Madden the last 2 years at least but I’m psyched about Madden seeing EA really make an effort to listen to what the community wants has sold me. Head Coach is gonna be amazing in my opinion been waiting for EA to bring it back although hopefully it’ll just become a mode in Madden and not a stand alone game the Franchise mode in Madden isn’t needed. EA is finally on the right path and not just buying the NFL license and putting out garbage dunno if its because of complaints or possibly the release of Backbreaker and the technology they’re implementing either way its gonna be a win win for football fans

I always get NCAA and Madden. Madden always has the better gameplay but I’m a huge college football fan, so I tend to play NCAA more.

Hey Pasta,

Has everything major been revealed from Madden? I know you can’t discuss specifics but can you at least say yay or nay on if we can expect any other significant announcements?

madden is awesome this year…and will even be better next year…because we all know they will give franchise mode a much needed makeover and finally make a full franchise online mode available…

NCAA looks really weak this year compared to Madden. However I am biased and never plan to buy NCAA again until FCS teams are respected at least a little. PUT THEM BACK IN THE DAMN GAME ALREADY.

[quote comment="23945"][quote comment="23944"]Neither one is where they should be or would be had a more talented developer had the franchise. However NCAA looks to have taken a step to the side rather than forward while Madden is actually going forward. Madden will be the better and more complete game this year guaranteed. Its a shame, as NCAA was just a slight step from truly overtaking Madden.[/quote]

I agree with you. And to add to your point, I think NCAA has more potential to be the better game in the future. They JUST missed on a few features, and could have made a near perfect game.[/quote]

Agree 100%. I played NCAA 08 last yr the day it released with my cousin, after about an hour i came to the conclusion that while the game isnt great,it made a lot of strides in the right direction and decided to purchase the game. Throughout the yr, i would note small things that needed to be upgraded/added(namely the dreadful presentation) to have a game truly worth the title of “Great”. I mean i thought the game was really solid and was almost sure that NCAA 09 would be THE sports title to play this yr. Now i havent played the game yet, but going by the videos and multiple write ups from in-tune bloggers such as PastaPadre, i feel that this game has taken a step DIRECTLY to the side instead of forward. Now that may be ok for some, but going to the side isnt enough to warrant 60 bux from me. Ill still play the game, but i just dont have high hopes.

What company did you have in mind exactly, because 2K hasn’t been doing much with their sports games either.[/quote]

Its doesnt matter what developer, as long as they have a slight, basic idea as to how to dev for the next gen systems theyd do better than the guys under EA. With that said, it does appear as if EA, finally, is figuring out this next gen technology, at least partially.
