I own a PS2 and my friend owns an X-Box. I've played NCAA on both; here is my breakdown:
Graphics- X-Box
Saving and Loading Time- X-Box
Controller- PS2
Overall Gameplay- PS2

Yes, all the specs for X-Box are better, but the gameplay on X-Box just seems slower and less realistic to me and others who have played both systems. I wouldn't switch just for the sake of switching if I were you.

On another note, what is HDD? I've asked this on another board three times and no one answers me.

the gameplay is the same on both systems maybe the Xbox version is smoother. The controller being better on PS2 is BS because you CAN use your PS2 controller on Xbox! My friend was crying about using the Xbox controller i gave him the PS2 controller plugged it in and still whooped him. Take $20 buy a converter and stop the bloodclot crying.

I've played a lot of EA games on both systems and to be honest they play the exact same pretty much. I don't see what some of you guys are saying. The only thing that feels different is the smoothness, as the Xbox versions have better framerates, other than that, I don't see how either is better in the gameplay dept. To each his own though.

You can use a PS2 controller on X-Box, but the buttons are different and it really isn't the same to me. Bloodclot crying? That's a new one. I never bitched, moaned, or complained about X-Box; so I don't know what that is about. Even my X-Box friends say that the play seems better on PS2, but the graphics and save times on X-Box confirm their preference. The PS2 controller is superior to the X-Box in my opinion, mainly because of the symmetrical feel to it. That is my opinion, I know, but the four shoulder buttons on the PS2 controller puts it over the top as far as football games go and apparently I am not the only one who thinks that is so.
For the record though, I used the PS2 controller on my friend's X-Box and beat him, so I never "bloodclot cried". . . whatever that means.

The game comes out in July, isn't it too late to add Xbox Live support. EA and MS are still saying that there is no deal for Live support. If there is will EA have enough time to add it to the game? I don't know everything about making games but it seem to me like it would take a while to add and test the online portion. Didn't All Star Baseball drop live support last year b/c they did not have enough time to complete it and they were planning it from the beginning. Seems to me that the Live portion will not be that good if it is thrown in at the last minute. Don't say "well maybe they were working on it the whole time." That would be a waste of money and time for the developers to work on a feature that EA dosen't support. I hope it happens but it may be pointless if they rush it and screw it up.

That's a good question you raise. It's hard to compare Acclaim with EA Sports though. Acclaim obviously doesn't have the money nor the resources that EA Sports does. As for how long it would take to add the portion to the game, who knows? This deal could have been in the works for months now, and with E3 right around the corner, the story may have leaked. We shall find out soon enough.

Ding ding ding! I think EA has been implementing Live support in the game the whole time. I think we will be in for a great surprise come E3.
