After throwing NCAA back in after 1 week - I like it better than Madden.

My "goods":

MADDEN:

So, so smooth
Animations during tackling are so nice, especially the gang animations
Tackling in Madden is so much fun - much more fun than NCAA
FINALLY - player chatter....not great but as least it exists
Made me a much better player on NCAA due to the speed difference
finally - a LOT of hot reads and adjustments can be made
Slider increments can be done in intervals of "1"

NCAA:

Atmosphere is leaps and bounds greater than Madden
I like the lighting a lot better than Madden
Recruiting is fun.....time consuming - but fun.

Which do I prefer?

This is the first year in several that Madden was not taken out of the system approx 1 hour of play and replaced by NCAA.

However.

The CPU gives me good games in NCAA. The CPU makes fewer stupid choices in NCAA (despite the NFL beign the cream of the crop). Madden has sooooo much potential - but potential, not delivering, eventually gets you replaced - it has been replaced after one week.

Nice run Madden, unfortunately the following things are broken and cannot be fixed to my satisfaction: CPU QB AI, a broken review/replay system which makes more turnovers in my favor, which would be fine if the CPU QB AI was not ******** - but it is. If these things are fixed - POOF - it is playable again, I know it wont be though.
