Aside from the fact that I do plan on purchasing a 360 once I get the money. But good assumption there.

Honestly, I could care less about graphics. They look GOOD on XBOX. They look GREAT on 360. The gameplay is GREAT on XBOX. The gameplay, from what we've seen last year and how long it takes EA to implement better gameplay in new generations, is BAD on 360.

As long as the gameplay is better on XBOX, I will continue to stick current gen. Not to mention more features on current gen.

I guess my defintion of GOOD is different from yours.. How can you say the gameplay in the 360 version is bad when you never played it? & more features like fluff.. I could careless about RFTH, & taking test..Trick plays samething..& the 360 version won't need the HFA cause it's being built to where it wil have the same type of effect but to a larger degree on the advanced hardware.. The lack of historical teams is a bit of a letdown, but I rarly use them.

The idea behind cone vision is, how EA implented it is not..Samewith the hit stick...All push tackles..

I am in the minority in that i liked how Madden played on the 360.

I also hope the CPU dropped passes issue from the xbox won't carry over into the 360.

I kind of hope that the xbox game is backward compatible, cause I am crazy enough to get 2 versions for the 360. College football is all that.

Regardless of whether you like how they are implemented, they aren't gimmicks. By admitting they are good ideas, but not implemented right, means they are a flawed (in your opinion anyways) gameplay enhancement, not a gimmick.

I am going on the fact that EA rarely changes gameplay, even when it needs to be overhauled. I DID play Madden for 360 last year, and compared to current gen, it didn't play up to par. They had finally gotten nearly everything to nearly as good as it gets on current gen, but even last year's Madden for 360 was a gigantic letdown for most due to not only leaving features out, but the lack of realistic gameplay on the field. They had the opportunity to rid Madden of many of the gameplay problems that plagued the game for years, such as suction blocking, but didn't take advantage. The game even played stiffer than the current gen version. Now I understand they rushed the game out for sales, but it is unlikely given their past that they will upgrade the gameplay anytime soon to where it needs to be.

I'm just afraid the same will happen this year with not only Madden, but since NCAA uses the same engine, that as well.

That would be an excellent back up plan/option for us as consumers, but there is no way EA will make any future versions of NCAA BC as long as their making a 360 version and selling them for $10 more.
