Ball Size... fixed in Madden, what about NCAA?

[JerseySuave4]

They said that the size of the football has been fixed in Madden so it is now accurate. Any word on if this change has made it's way into NCAA. I saw some people try to say that they can't change it because all of the animations are done related to the size of the ball or some garbage like that but Madden clearly proves that to be untrue if theyre able to change it in their game.

Judging from screenshots, no. But looking at some screenshots in Madden, it doesn't looked that changed either.

i noticed it when they had the Vick in 11 and Vick in 12 side by side screens. You can notice it being slightly smaller. It never was that big of a deal to me but since i saw the Madden people mention it i thought i'd ask.

not to sound rude, but would it make a difference to the game? now, if it will affect the gameplay or any other dynamics, then i'm all for it. otherwise, it's another of those wind socks on the goal posts cosmetic fixes that don't really mean much.

in the comparsions(madden) they did look diff it wasnt as bloated. But in ncaa they may be letting Madden release all the goodies bc Madden was being very through in todays release.

I suppose it could affect gameplay if defenders have to actually hit the ball to knock it down. A smaller ball could conceivably be able to get through a smaller passing window. However, we've all seen many instances in the past where the defender's hand doesn't actually touch the ball but still manages to deflect it. If this is still the case, then the smaller ball is purely cosmetic.

I'm much more worried about the ridiculous pass speeds and unrealistic trajectories than I am about the ball size, but if they can scale it down, I say go for it.

not to sound rude but i never said it affected gameplay or would make a difference to the game nor was i begging for it to be changed. All i was simply asking is if it was changed or not since the Madden guys made a point to mention it was changed in their game.

+1
I feel the same way, if they can change it, change it. If not, maybe next year
