I do think NCAA may have better presentation though, simply because they are using ESPN broadcast material. I think Madden is still going to use the EA broadcast because apparently the NFL wont let them use ESPN or NFL Network for whatever reason. I would LOVE if Madden added CBS broadcast material but I think that is wishful thinking at this point..

That's not necessarily true. On the previous gen I always thought NCAA played better than Madden. That was back in my college days and MANY people thought the same.

Co-sign. I still buy NCAA but I haven't touched Madden in years.

That was an excellent preview! The most informative I've read so far. Good job!

After reading the review... thanks OS... I am extremely curious about the Run & Shoot Offense they have listed. Thank God, Mary and Joseph they eliminated the Run & Gun which was never the same as the Run & Shoot. However, I have been following and studying this offense since seeing it for the first time in 1984 in the USFL w/ Jim Kelly and the Houston Gamblers.

There are so many little details in this offense and I will be extremely curious to see if they actually have it correct in the game. But... I am excited that the offense appears to be back. While a lot of teams utilize this scheme it was June Jones and his success at Hawaii and now, w/ SMU, that have kept this offense prominent. Here's hoping EA gets it right.

They won't get it right in the game, cmon man, we heard all last year that the playbooks were overhauled to be much more like the real teams and yet Hawai'i's playbook was nothing like what they really run in real life. And Ohio State's was also not much better (although in EA's defense they changed offenses several times throughout the year).

You guys can't be falling for all this stuff again can you? I mean nothing wrong with being optimistic but it seems some of you guys are just setting yourself up for huge disappointment here.
