Ah, my mistake. Being a programmer myself, I have a tendency to assume that people don't know what they are talking about when it comes to video games. I agree, then, that for NCAA 11 they should focus on the same things that made 06 great.

Yeah my cousin (game designer in training) gave me a crash course on gaming a few years back. It sure would be nice if all features could be ported, but like you say, it doesn't work that way.

Man I love this game... it's too bad the graphics are so weak. P.S. the running backs don't turn on a dime... wow!

yeah i loved those stat overlays. NCAA is the only game i buy every year (TW every other year) and i miss those stats.. i actually forgot about the passing ratios to each side and deep/ near.

i think youve got something there as far as combining those basic features with the better graphics.... just need better gameplay now. and can we get some better commentary? im tired of *******... err Corso talking my HB's rushing yards... 100 of them!

That'll never happen. Madden is EA's #1 franchise -- if Madden and NCAA overlap too much, no one will buy Madden once they've been playing NCAA for a month.

That's why EA deliberately kneecaps NCAA. They want it to be good -- but not too good, because it's just the warmup game.

So NCAA fans will always be left with the table scraps. NCAA 11 will play like Madden 10, NCAA 12 will play like Madden 11, and on and on and on ...

It use to be the better game!!! 04-06 was an amazing period for the series. I still play and enjoy them but, man just give us the little things we love and miss.

Oh yeah. My disinterst in Madden didn't start with 07 although that really pretty much killed it off for me outright until 2010 this year.

06 was the year when NCAA was insanely better than Madden IMO at least. 04-06 was the Golden Age for NCAA Football IMO.

'06 was awesome, no doubt.

But the problem was the Deep ball. With PSU, send then FR Derrick Williams on a fly route. Touchdown Penn State...

All. Game. Long.

Yup the stat overlays on the ps2 were the best stat overlays I have ever seen. They are so weak and random on next gen versions.
