will NCAA be ahead of Madden this year?

What I mean by that is will NCAA be a better game than Madden this year? I think with the addition of it's fantastic lighting system giving it a more realistic look, physics based locomotion, improved pro-tak, etc, it will be a more enjoying game to play overall.

It just doesn't look like the Madden will implement the lighting system into their game, so the game is still going to have that plastic looking players and too dark colors. Which is huge for me.

It's hard to say until they've announced all of the features for both games.

And we really won't know for sure until we play it, and even then it will be far from a consensus.

I'd say it's ahead every year

I've never played Madden as I love college football, but despise professional football, but I would guess that Madden would be the better game. Madden's budget is always much bigger than NCAA's (because it makes EA more money) so they should have the better, more polished game.

That being said, I've already preordered NCAA for $40 and I won't even download the Madden demo, but that has nothing to do with the quality of either game.

I would say that it is way way way too early to say either one at this point. NCAA has always been my favorite up until this past year and I hope that changes because I love college football.

That's what has bugged me for years! They are sitting on a gold mine IMO. This game could make them a ton of money if they put in the time and effort. Maybe that will change this year with all the news that has come out and has yet to come out for '11!

way too early to tell honestly. What i can say is this.....NCAA has been an utter letdown overall.....NCAA11 looks VERY promising and adding locomotion along with madden will ONLY HELP the overall game.

Cant wait til July (if NCAA is GREAT i will pass on madden).

I think it's always a step below and I expect the same this year. I'm expecting huge strides from both games though.
