Completely ignoring the fact that I've always thought people here identify more with NCAA than NFL, I think pre release reviews and user experience with the previous year's game have played a huge factor.

Naturally you'll have your fair share of naysayers for each game but the reviews/opinions on NCAA 11 before and after the demo and leading up to release have been more than favorable. Couple that with a good NCAA 10 and people have hit the boards in droves.

On the other side, the direction that EA was taking Madden this year has irked more people than normal. A lot of people were not feeling '10 as a strong Madden and the '11 demo in most cases didnt help the cause.

That said, the low amount of visitors to the Madden board is still surprising. Even if a good number of people were disappointed with '10 and/or the direction of '11, the number of visitors is usually still higher than it is now when you sum up the Madden '11 lovers + haters + people on the fence.
