Something I want to point out NCAA v. Madden

[dshill]

obviously, the Madden guys are too busy playing to come to OS

The proof is in the pudding as far as I'm concerned and I don't even watch college football, I'm 100% pure NFL and decided to purchase NCAA over Madden. Why? because it is better.

I've always preferred NCAA to Madden... (except 2004. Was that the year they started the QB vision cone? I know it was the last Madden to release before the 360 came out. Maybe it was 2005.)

The Madden gameplay is tight and really well done this year. For the first time in a while Madden seems to be on the heels of NCAA, but there's just so much more that NCAA offers eventhough with its deemed "little brother" status. While I haven't started a franchise in Madden yet, I'm sure it will stack up just fine. But it's hard to deny the charm, and downright greatness that NCAA 11 has this year.

The vision cone was actually 06. That was the first one on 360 and it had McNabb on the cover. 2004 had Vick on the cover and introduced the rightstick "playmaker" controls (which was actually a pretty good idea IMO, just not very useful about 90% of the time) and 2005 had Ray Lewis on the cover and was where they introduced defensive playmaker controls and hot routes.

i always felt that NCAA got a lot more love on OS for some reason

They didnt help themselves by announcing they were taking an extra year to change the franchise mode......I immediately said "Bring on Madden 12!" and Madden 11 has not even caught my attention. I played one demo game and havent touched it since....bleah
