It will be interesting to see, as an NCAA guy 1st and Madden guy 2nd, if the acclaimed new bells and whistles will be enough to move it to number 1 and make this game obsolete. Given the issues with editing and dynasty mode in Madden I'll probably still be playing NCAA well into next year.

This is the the thing (well... one of alot of things) that pi**es me off about EA. It's the fact that the people who buy the games have to do work themselves to try and make the game better instead of EA (who is SUPPOSED to do the work) actually setting the sliders and testing it out to see what works best. I will rent the game but the demo was really too uninspiring for me to actually go out and buy the game first.

I'd give this game a solid 8. Enjoying it so far. Thanks to xIZ GONE RAINx for the roster with names! Oh and for $44.99 from Amazon, can't complain.

Anybody know how to cut the thing off where you are playing and the computer assist you on running your routes. It's annoying because when I try to run them their is this brief delay of me coming off of the line.

I meant to insert a question mark at the end of that first sentence.

I own 11 and 12 and when you say if you have 12, 13 is not something you would really need......I have to disagree. The passing imrovements alone make it a good upgrade. Nothing infuriated me more than having 2 types of passes and zero variety plus the dreaded super lB's and DB's morphing through your WR's.

Now the passing game is so damn good. Organic and smooth, lot's of great animations now too.

Anyway great review.

Nice review! Very in depth.

[BigBadTom]

I never heard about a revamp in wr/db interactions.... Is that just the catching animations? Is it in madden as well?

[PackerBacker123]

if you rate madden worse then you are biased
