I just finished reading Pastapadre's article on his website and read there was alot of stuff people dislike about the game from all the comments made by people. I haven't picked up a copy yet and is deciding between this game or Madden 10. I read somewhere that Pasta said the patch is broken. Is this true? For people who own both Madden and NCAA this year. What game gave you a better experience?

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
Definitely enjoying Madden more for the first time since 05. The only reason I still have NCAA is for two reasons. 1) I'ma trophy junkie
and 2) I'm in a great sim OD that's just too hard to leave

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
It's not anywhere near broken as a whole but there are areas that need a patch. It's a playable game but when you get into franchise it gets frustrating with the "progression on steroids".GT: Herkyalert

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
If you like playing with a smaller prestige school like Florida Atlantic, the progression issues aren't as clear. Players don't increase their atributes a lot at a smaller school.
Just consider this, If you like NCAA Football: Buy NCAA 10
If you like NFL Football: Buy Madden 10

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
PackAttack says it perfect.
I have both games and I like NCAA better because I like college football better. Is Madden the better game? Yes.
NCAA is far from broken though.
There are bugs in both games which are annoying.Comment

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
I wouldn't say its far from broken. I wouldn't say its far from being fixable either. But as it stands, I am a huge college fan and if the patch doesn't deliver, I don't see myself ever playing this game offline again. And online, I think we've had to sim 4 weeks in 1 year and 2 weeks of dynasty because of issues. And as a result, lose stats, recruiting, etc.
At this point to me, the game brings more anguish than enjoyment.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
I think NCAA plays well. If you are a dynasty junkie (play multiple years with same team), there may be issues. In terms of the actual game and how it plays, I love it.
I think more of people's gripes come from the game not being much different than NCAA 09. It's not a bad thing. The visuals received an upgrade as the fields and uniforms are cleaner and has nice new features such as the ability to select uniform parts independently. But, to get to the meat and potatoes, the game plays like NCAA 09.
I am enjoying both titles.What?Comment

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
I'm a little concerned about this as it seems to be true. From everything I have read, both games have some issues. I honestly think the people that love Madden a lot more than NCAA are those that either prefer the NFL and/or really love the slow game speed.
My Madden 10 copy should be shipped to me finally this week and I do prefer college football. Plus I do enjoy commentary in video games and I've read Hammond is awful. Hopefully I will be able to get my retail copy soon and see for myself and I will be playing on Fast (maybe Normal but definitely not slow). If I find myself going back to NCAA all the time I will just trade Madden in. Got a great deal through SI so that won't bother me and I can use the credit towards another game.Comment

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
If you want presentation and atmosphere... go Madden 10
If you want more realistic gameplay go NCAA 10.
Disclaimer: NCAA 10 has such potential but progression, lack of auto-subs, and no formation subs are game killers for me... so this is the first year I have ever said that the egde goes to Madden

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
You know what... I don't have a real problem with the commentary. I think Collinsworth is great and Hammond... I can live with him. Yes, some of the comments are bad but that is EA's fault in how they slice commentary together. After the "RADIO GUY" there is no way commentary could ever be worse!

Re: Is NCAA 10 Really Broken?
If you really have to choose between Madden and NCAA, it's Madden hands down without a doubt.
I am personally finding it completely impossible to find a balanced set of sliders for NCAA that plays realistically. The pass rush is completely broken on both sides....sometimes offensive tackles just turn their backs to the DE and let them run right past (for CPU defense). For the CPU offense they seem to have that 'throw the ball right before the sack' AI, which causes a good bit of 'robo qb' complaints. I havent tested the CPU offense as much on the pass rush side as I have the human offense. On top of this I am extremely ticked off with the way the patch process has been handled.
Madden has more options, more people tinkering with those options, better graphics, better out-of-the-box gameplay, and IMO a better all-around football experience. If you have to pick, pick Madden.Go Colts, Go Irish!!
