I'm with you. NCAA, despite its big flaws, feels better than Madden to me. I'm much more drawn to NCAA, having played 40 games. After only four games of Madden, I'm not feeling it. Just feels a bit blah. Maybe that'll change after the second patch. I hope so. But I'm not holding my breath. If patch No. 2 doesn't improve the game markedly, I'll trade in Madden toward NBA 2k9 or Fifa 09.
