As far as the games go, both do have thier problems just as Take Two's effort this year as well. But Madden to me in more polished and overall the better game on the field but NCAA isa damn good game.
I think NCAA flows better. The pace of the game is also slower though. I know what he's saying. NCAA just seems to flow, even the blocking and the tackling animations are slower and seem to flow better. I had a much easier time reading blocks and making the right cut in NCAA then I do Madden. Alot of times I'll run into my own blockers and it just seems like im running into a pile and the animations are so fast sometimes it seems jittery. That said NCAA doesnt have the animations that madden has. The gang tackling is a 100 times better in madden as well as a lot of the animations. It just seems herky jerky sometimes because its all happening so fast. I've played them both. I think Madden is the better game. But they both are good. NCAA just seems like a stripped down version to me for some reason although what it does it does well.

I don't think one is better than the other, I think it more so depends on w/ you prefer. Madden is faster than NCAA, but isn't the NFL faster than college?
Maybe that's what EA was going for.

On LG, I'd say NCAA was much better than Madden. However, on the 360, I think Madden is better than NCAA. As others have said, Madden just seems more polished. The biggest difference this year is the passing game. The ball trajectory (or bullet v lob) is terrible on NCAA.

Re: BE Honest- NCAA 08 is better and you Know It!

After throwing NCAA back in after 1 week - I like it better than Madden.

My "goods":

MADDEN:
  • So, so smooth
  • Animations during tackling are so nice, especially the gang animations
  • Tackling in Madden is so much fun - much more fun than NCAA
  • FINALLY - player chatter....not great but as least it exists
  • Made me a much better player on NCAA due to the speed difference
  • finally - a LOT of hot reads and adjustments can be made
  • Slider increments can be done in intervals of "1"
NCAA:
  • Atmosphere is leaps and bounds greater than Madden
  • I like the lighting a lot better than Madden
  • Recruiting is fun.....time consuming - but fun.
Which do I prefer?

This is the first year in several that Madden was not taken out of the system approx 1 hour of play and replaced by NCAA.

However.

The CPU gives me good games in NCAA. The CPU makes fewer stupid choices in NCAA (despite the NFL beign the cream of the crop). Madden has sooooo much potential - but potential, not delivering, eventually gets you replaced - it has been replaced after one week.

Nice run Madden, unfortunately the following things are broken and cannot be fixed to my satisfaction: CPU QB AI, a broken review/replay system which makes more turnovers in my favor, which would be fine if the CPU QB AI was not ******** - but it is. If these things are fixed - POOF - it is playable again, I know it wont be though.

Using NJPapi's sliders for both now, the turnovers on both sides are down in both games for me, and I'm loving both.

Funny thing is, when I traded in the game, the manager at Gamespot confirmed my suspicions and stated Madden has been traded in at an extremely alarming Rate.
You are wrong...there i said it lol. HOnestly i dont need a Gamestop manager to confirm anything for me. Either i like a game or i dont, i dont need anyone to help "justify" my decision

To each his own though and im glad you feel "pretty good" about ur decision
