I believe (need to double check later) that on madden you can only switch to formations that fit your personnel grouping.

So madden is more accurate.
Exactly. It essentially the same just tuned to be more realistic. But the concept is from ncaa.

I could be remembering things incorrectly, but I always felt like Madden was a year ahead when it came to introducing new features, like the hit stick and playmaker controls

It was a back and forth deal. NCAA had a real coach mode.
NCAA had the player lock - D Cam first etc..

IF I remember correctly..

Re: My theory on whats wrong with madden

When it came to introducing new features, animations, graphic styles and AI improvements it went like this:

FIFA > NHL > Madden > NCAA

Now recently it goes like this:

FIFA > UFC > Madden > NHL > NBA Live

FIFA always get new stuff first, then it trickles down to the other games. By the time Madden get something, FIFA would have had it 2 or 3 years already. NCAA due to their shorter cycle was always a year behind Madden. Devs and former community managers have stated this many times on OS and at various E3/EA Play events over the past 5 years or so.

I think at this point it's safe to say that the NCAA football team was simply either more talented/creative/or had more freedom to innovate than Madden's team.

Re: My theory on whats wrong with madden

Madden in its current form started out with the worst base game ever. Madden 06. It’s improved over the years but issues from that horrible framework has hindered the game since 2005.

Add to that a shortened development cycle, focus on MUT and micro transactions over other issues and short comings combined with the monotony of playing only EA style football for 12 years and you get a boring repetitive game.

NCAA didn’t change anything imo.

Re: My theory on whats wrong with madden

I remember when Madden got the new game engine in 2012 a year before Ncaa got it...
