i think a lot of it is that a lot of us grew up starting from the Bill Walsh days and have gotten older as the series has gotten older and now are in that 21-30 yr old range for the most part and we've seen technology advance, and now have a place to voice our opinions as opposed to during the ps1 days when internet forums werent as big as they are now. Along with that is the access the game designers give us by having these blogs and giving out more and more details earlier and earlier instead of just reading about stuff in a Gamepro magazine a month before the game comes out. When we were younger all we really wanted was a fun game that looked good, now our wants are much more advanced and lean more towards making the game as close to real life football as possible so we've grown from fun to sim more.

Thats just my 2 cents because although i didnt play last year's game as much as i have in the past (because i spent so much time doing custom stadium sound requests for people, plus work, plus college, plus coaching football) and i didnt really enjoy the game as much as year's past. But with the addition of teambuilder its added something thats going to have me playing this game whenever i get a chance (since i still coach h.s. football, work, and am finishing college).

Since the Madden guys have been able to come out and really talk about and show off the new additions in terms of gameplay, appearance, accessories, etc. and NCAA hasn't, we're all getting that feeling like NCAA is the red headed step child thats not getting the same attention as Madden which disturbs many of us that prefer the NCAA series over the Madden series. But its unfair to sit and judge a game without ever even playing it but thats what happens when theres internet forums to talk on 24 hours so people gotta talk about something.

This game isn't going to be perfect and i dont think we're expecting it to be, but hopefully the gameplay tweaks and additions as well as accessory additions make us feel like there has been an improvement so we can enjoy the game more than past years.

People are always going to pick out the negative things, but as long as you enjoy the game thats all that should matter to you personally.
