I'm planning to buy Madden but not until the patch for the audible controls is out. So in a month or so. Hopefully there will be some other fixes in that patch as well. Out of the box I think NCAA seems like the better game, and now that we have two patches and two tuner sets for it as well, Madden will have a hard time competing.

I don't plan on buying Madden so it has no effect on how I view NCAA at all.

Gameplay wise the two games are pretty on par. I like them both a lot in gameplay. I don't know why some people are so caught up in trying to bash one over the other.

That being siad, as an offline only player I have put down NCAA for a while. Madden's franchise mode is more fun than NCAA's Dynasty...especially with WR recruit ratings in elusiveness and juke so srcewed up. The NCAA recruiting is soooooooo boring after a while, they really need to speed it up and make it more immersive. The endless, let's throw some more points at this guy and see if I can get to 5000 before Alabama is a huge beating. I will pick up my NCAA dynasty again someday soon, although it would be sooner had they fixed the WR ratings in patch #2.

The Madden generated rookies and draft are a blast. The players are wll balanced and designed. With the extra point show at the end of each week and the quicker off-season Madden is much more enjoyable to play in franchise/dynasty, not that NCAA sucks AT ALL, it's just not as much fun or immersive.

I love both and am bouncing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin plate. Love it! Great year for football. And anyone who thinks Madden is not great like NCAA this year really is just not giving it a chance IMO.

Did they do anything to online Franchises? Because if they didn't, then Madden is still busted.

I don't think so, I've not checked them out yet. But guess what, football games didn't used to have online play, let alone online franchise/dynasty, so that, in my personal opinion, is not a game killer by any means if the actual game play is a blast (which IMO it is).

I agree with Odogg. I'm flipping both back and forth.

If this happends I may get it.

+1 I have enjoyed both and for the first time in a while I have two football games that I enjoy

You're right, football games didn't USED TO have online play, but they do now, so why when you have a monopoly on the NFL would you put out a broken online mode? Gaming in general is headed more toward online play, and it's pretty easy to see that the reason Online Franchise was the least used mode last year, was because it was completely awful. Especially when you compare it to NCAA.

Simply unacceptable.

Re: How many is still playing/enjoying Ncaa after Madden?

I'm going back and forth as well, but I'm pretty frustrated with the lack of defense in Madden. Once I find some good sliders & a patch is released to shore those things up, I would say both games would be really, really good. Out of the box NCAA is definitely the better game though.

skeezapleez - no doubt they need to improve it, I'm 100% in agreement with you on that. I'm just saying that I think it's silly to ignore a game or refuse to play it because it doesn't have everything you want. It is really doing yourself a great disservice, IMO, if you go that route as Madden plays a great game of football this year.

IMO it's like saying you're refusing a t-bone steak seared on the grill to perfection because it doesn't have a potato with sour cream on the side. Yes next year we want the potato w/sour cream but I'm not ignoring the steak this year...

To me, great changes to the Online Franchise, would have been the steak

Same here. I bought Madden last night. Got home played a Play Now game then popped NCAA back in.

I'm not saying M11 is bad. It's actually really good but, right now I'm just immersed in NCAA. Plus, I'm waiting on roster's to get straightened out as well as a good set of sliders for Madden. I'm sure once we get closer to the NFL Season I will start playing M11 more and more. This year is the best sports year possibly ever, IMO. My next purchase will be NBA 2K11. I can't wait for that one either.
