    Top Five Reasons NCAA 13 Will Top Madden 13: #5 Player Customization


    A month ago, I never would have imagined that this would be a selling point for NCAA over Madden. Player editing in Madden’s Franchise Mode has been a given for years. Why would this year be any different? Well, we all know how that turned out. Unless EA plans on dropping a last-minute bomb on the NCAA fanbase, it’s business as usual when it comes to roster editing, and that means that gamers can still take their edited rosters into dynasty mode. This is particularly crucial for the NCAA series, as members of the OS community do terrific work adding player names for every team. Even if NCAA 13 doesn’t blow your mind, at least we’re not losing core features.

    Is player customization a major selling point for you?

    Is the number one reason going to be a working online dynasty feature again?

      Player editing is a huge selling point for me and customizing the look and feel of my own experience is huge. This is the first year I'm not buying Madden and its purely because they didn't put in editing and custom playbooks into CCM.

      I hope NCAA outsells Madden so maybe the Madden dev team will figure out that they shouldn't try and limit user control.

        No way NCAA tops Madden. I am getting both but either way but Madden will always reign supreme simply due to the fact that it is an NFL product and the NFL is elite.

          I've bought NCAA for every year it's been on the 360 and I've never bought a Madden game and even I know that there's no way in hell that NCAA will outsell Madden.

            Not a major selling point to me unless, rookies come into Madden looking a hot mess like they did in Madden 12. That said not being able to edit Numbers is huge annoyance. Especially in an online CCM, where the game doesn't automatically change numbers. I'm a little OCD about numbers, but it's not enough to be a selling point to me.

              I wanted to buy madden this year but if i cant make my own custom roster and take it into offline connected careers mode i dont want the game. Playing a franchise where i got everyone's equipment edited and ratings edited makes the game very fun for me but using EA's roster is not gonna be fun for me

                Player customization is important because FSU QB E.J. Manuel should not have dreads. Its ironic that you show that screenshot with this subject.

                  But they are missing a very common face mask in the Revo Speed 2Bar. It was in last years Madden and it's missing. No excuse.

                    Does anybody know if we will be able to edit hairstyles foe in game( with helmets on not sideline cutscenes)?
                    Most players have RG3 type dreads not the predator dreads like the demo.

                      Customization is HUGE!! Thats one of EAs BIGGEST problems, they need to make it so you can customize everything! They always find a way to ruin the most (fun)damental things in a football video game! The gameplay better be amazing, which I doubt but lets pray! Every year they mirage the game with gimmicks and then bam another year goes bye and then more gimmicks..........

                        You do know these players have ZERO chance of being on Madden right? No import this year.

                          Editing rosters in NCAA is nearly half the fun for me. I love going through and making sure everyone has the right equipment to look as close as possible to their real-life versions.

                          Plus it's fun to change ratings throughout the season when certain players are having a breakout year.

                            Yeah, I probably didn't get my point across clearly. In madden 12 I didn't use NCAA rookies but the defualt one. There were always some that had huge shoulder pads, poor position equipment/helmets and wearing odd numbers base off position. This was with the EA rookies, which is all we have in madden 13. So I hoped they fixed some of those issues.

                              Oh the generated rookies had all those issues?
