Remember when this board had twice the traffic of Madden?

What happened? I know Madden got a huge influx of people when people found out the devs were on here. But I remember getting on here last year sometimes and seeing 200+ viewing the NCAA board, and like 96 people viewing the Madden board.

Now this board doesnt even crack 100 unless something big is being anticipated. Did NCAA '09 run off that many people?

NCAA fell off. That's what happened.

I have been wondering the same thing. This forum used to be electric! I know when the "Who has it and where did you get it?" thread and the "Official NCAA '10 Impressions" thread gets started (will ODogg be a major contributor this year? ) this spot should be back to normal. Oh, and the demo impressions will bring out the masses again.

Quality over quantity maybe?

I think it's because of the growth of OS. Most of the longtime members here preferred NCAA, but we've seen a ton of newbies in the last year on this site and most of them seem to be Madden fans, as it is in the general public where Madden sells far more copies.

I agree.

The most concerning stat is the % of bitchers lately. Reportedly 98% of the people visiting the NCAA board hate the game.
