Good find, Lbz. I’m not sure what to think about the assertion that the game is sped up and more tuned to arcade play. I’m hopeful that in fact what the previews are picking up on is a streamlined interface rather than a conscious move towards an arcade style. NCAA’s simulation value is not much below Madden’s if at all, but the game is infinitely easier to pick up and play thanks to a more elegant control scheme. I’m hoping Madden on the 360 works in much that way. The ultimate goal with any sports game should be to take things that are complicated and render them in a way that is simple and intuitive.
