Here are my biggest gripes on NCAA and I would like to hear from anyone who might think that I should give Madden a try. I am just itching to play a football game. Things I don't like about the game on heisman since that is where i played most: 1) Super human DBs that make me play more of a arcade game then sim style passing game. 2) Can't get any pressure on CPU QB unless I pinch blitz up the middle in which case I get too much pressure on the QB. 3) All defenses besides the pinch blitz are pretty useless and it doesn't matter if I am playing a div 2 school or USC, it seems that the CPU QB can throw 85% plus if he wants to or he can throw every pass for a pick 6. I just feel that on defense unless I blitz I might as well not even bother trying, the CPU dictates everything no matter what the talent comparison. 4) CPU defense makes NO adjustments to what I am doing. They will continue to match up slow LBs on my fast RBs in man to man even after being burned over and over again. 5) pretty much entire CPU defense when in man to man is horrible on NCAA unless they can sack you before you can do anything, sometimes even before you can hand it off. 6) PA pass to flats vs man to man is totally broken on NCAA. 7) Human zone defense vs. computer is hard to stomach. The DBs and LBs don't even attempt to cover the guy in their zone most of the time. Calling cover 3 zone on 3rd and 19 should be a good call but it totally gets picked apart on this game. 8) fumble/int issues on both sides of ball 9) Slider tweaks that seem to do next to nothing and totally frustrate me. There are more but these are the major game killers for me in dynasty mode. I should have mentioned that I am debating getting this game for dynasty mode play. Anyone that has input before I run out buy this and get frustrated with it I would sure appreciate it. Thanks

I hate to say but Madden has about the same problems the only difference is you'll be playing NFL. I'd go with what Sausage said and wait for the Madden patch and while you're wating for that I'll be waiting for the NCAA patch.
