When I was a little boy my grandfather said there was a fish called a sucker. maybe ......

the thing is though is that NCAA "goes gold" much earlier than Madden. Also, NCAA has a different agenda, different bugs/glitches, a different "outlook" than the Madden series. I agree, I would like for whats in one to be in the other, but honestly, in all the years that I've played both of these games, its never been that way. Madden had always seemed to have something first, and then if the fans liked it, it was added to the NCAA series.

Read thru the Q&A thread and you'll find Adam answering questions along these lines. Whether you choose to agree/disagree with his reasons, is completely up to you, but I for one am not going to sit here and criticize them over how they are developing the game when I have no idea how the process works.

Here is my bottom line. After 20 years of madden and close to that for ncaa I really though we would be alot farther along then we are. Disappointing is an understatement.

Yeah, I mean come on EA, we've should've had progressive lighting back on the Genesis. Lazy bastards.

EA sports has a monopoly on college football video games. Because of that, they sacrifice quality of the product because it will sell anyway. Their goal isn't to have us like the game, their goal is to have us buy the game. As long as they accomplish that goal, nothing else matters.

Get used to it.

It isn't that simple. Graphics are NOT shared.
