Madden is Ruining NCAA for me

I want to punch whoever is the play by play guy on madden. His WWE announcing style makes me want to die.

Meanwhile, the NCAA team revamps recruiting, adds a ton of stuff to Online Dynasty, and then throws the WHOLE mode online? That's awesome.

Yea that pretty much did it for me. IF NCAA was junk, I would have just extended baseball season (MLBshow). I'd like to see what the odds are that the MAdden team even looks @ franchise next year. It doesn't seem that this MAdden team has much interest in offline. Luckily NCAA's dynasty is a blast.

As for fumbles, if CPU controlled teams never fumbled on a kickoff return again it'd be too soon. It's okay though gonna go do some slider research to fix these. NCAA has it's issues but it's a much better and much more polished game than Madden overall. Not even close.

Could not agree more.

Ive been a loyal Madden fan since I can remember and only started buying NCAA for the draft classes.
However, this year, I can honestly say that NCAA is far better even on default sliders.
Ive played maybe 3 or 4 games of Madden since buying it.
Dynasty Mode, saving highlights and photos, Teambuilder and overall gameplay just makes NCAA far better than Madden.
If Madden had a decent Franchise mode and better "carry-over" with draft classes I would play it much more but the bottomline is NCAA 11 is just a more satisfying football experience top to bottom.
Madden killed itself by implementing the strategy pad and gameflow and not touching Franchise.
