I'm pretty sure the PS2 had in game saving, its been awhile since I've had to use it. I don't think I'm thinking of Madden since I usually only play NCAA, I could be wrong though.
As far as the 30 frames per second, this sits squarely on the software's shoulders. The PS3 has already been proven to handle NBA games at 60 fps with 1080 resolution as mentioned in the article, and it doesn't get much better than that. The hardware is there, if the game doesn't run smoothly, the software needs to be tweaked. EA hasn't yet released PS3 builds of Madden and NCAA, so hopefully they're still tweaking. If not, the game will still run fine at 30 fps. The human eye can barely, if at all, notice differences in 10-20 fps, which is why they mentioned subtle movements won't be as clear.

A few links for you fellows..

NCAA Top 25 Breakdown- 2007 NCAA Top 25 Feature - Features at GameSpot


And two Campus Legend reads

Feature - The Making of a (Campus) Legend - GameDaily

Here is what they say about us..

A respectably strong schedule and some serious talent on both sides of the ball should have resulted in a dream season for the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2006. Unfortunately, that dream erupted in a nightmare in the BCS Championship game at the hands of an inspired Florida squad, who demolished the pride of Columbus 41-14. After losing Troy Smith to the NFL, the Buckeyes are looking to rebuild their leadership, with junior Todd Boeckman taking the reins at quarterback. Save for the November 3 contest against Wisconsin, the home schedule looks to be an easy one for Ohio State, which means the toughest contests--Michigan, Penn State, Washington, and Purdue--are all away games. After replacing all three 2005 starting linebackers last season, standout middle linebacker (and Nagurski Award-winner) James Laurinaitis looks to take control of a defensive team that will surely have big hits and turnovers on the collective brain.

Our impact players are James Laurinaitis (95 overall), Malcolm Jenkins (94 overall), and Chris Wells (89 overall).

I don't know about you, but I wish I could read one thing about Ohio State without having to hear about Florida.

I am the biggest critic of EA's NCAA/Madden/sports series because of the way it seems they always seem to make incremental changes every year (making superficial and/or gimmicky changes without reworking core things like recruiting), but they seem to have done enough with this version that I will give it a shot.

Why? Because you can stop a game, then go to dinner/meeting/activity, and then come back and finish your game.

I dont understand the confusion.

Bad news, this game has no in-game saving, BUT it does have an auto game-finisher ala NBA live.

So now if you're bored of a 60-0 blowout in the 3rd quarter, you can let it autopilot.

Almost as good, but not as good as ingame saving.

I'm getting a Xbox 360 in September (or maybe earlier this summer) but I will still have my original Xbox. Should I buy the game for 360 or for my Xbox? (How much different is the 360 version of NCAA? If it isn't significantly better I am thinking I will buy the Xbox version so I can download the rosters.)
