NCAA without a doubt. Madden has some nice features that will eventually make it to NCAA. Me and a friend of mine have been playing NCAA together for about 7 years now. Tecmo and such before that. We've just always been huge college football fans. Sucks he's a Michigan fan.

I think because this is a college bias site that NCAA is gonna get the nod. But Madden is much better game, more realistic and better graphics. I used to be addicted to NCAA, but once I started playing Madden, I never went back.

When you create a play, you are also creating a playbook. You can use created playbooks in Franchise mode.

I don't know if you can use created books online though. In NCAA you can. But you can't create plays in NCAA. With the ability to create the actual formations and plays in Madden, they might not allow you to use "home brewed" plays that may be unstoppable.

I like Madden better. The game play is much more difficult. I rarely go 16-0 and make it all the way through the playoffs in Madden on All-Pro, but I went undefeated with Yale on All-American in NCAA. Building up a d1AA school like that is the only way that you can get a reasonable challenge from the AI. The AI doesn't get any smarter when you go up to Heisman either, the players are just ungodly fast, with 72" verticals. There are still a ton of ways to dominate Heisman too.

I really like the recruiting in NCAA, especially with the in season stuff this year. It's not enough, for me, to overcome the sub par game play though. I also like Franchise mode on Madden, I just wish that I could use create a play book in franchise mode, and wish creating a stadium was a little more creative.

My favorite thing about Madden is being able to move a team, like the Ravens, to Butte Montana, giving them pink and yellow uniforms, calling them the pirates, and switching back to owning the Browns. That way I get to beat those pink and yellow butte pirates twice a year.

Plus I can watch the real Buckeyes compete for a National Title every few years, but the only chance I have of seeing the Browns win a Super Bowl is by doing it myself. :smash:

How bout they put the Madden gameplay into NCAA and make it a supergame.

EA makes both games so you would think the gameplay would be the same on both of them, but it is not, b/c they want to sell both.

BTW anyone played that Arena football game.

I also hear JWinslow is not that good at either of these games.:tongue2:
