P.S. My copy of Madden shows to be out for delivery.  LOL  I had you going there.  I know you will never get TW11.

You serious?

I wish the I could combine the best attributes of Madden and NCAA Football into one game. For example, I love that you can turn off player names once the ball is snapped in Madden. I'm also becoming a fan of the strategy pad. On the other hand, NCAA Football has a far better gameplay camera and control scheme. I was also surprised to see that Madden does not have Auto-Save. There are others that I can't think of at the moment.

Based on my initial playtime with Madden, I'd give NCAA Football the overall edge so far this year.

I just installed to HD. 5.3 GB so it takes up less space than NCAA11.  I have not missed a Madden launch or NCAA for that matter, as long as I have been gaming. Never removed my preorder, just playing with you and hoping it would get you to purchase TW11. Embarrassed

Yup, NCAA will get far more gametime.  Like you mentioned no auto-save and also when turning off gameflow, the playbook lacks a quick button press to special teams and goal line. I do prefer the up and down method of selecting a play in Madden. One minor gripe is on defense. I hate watching the cutscenes of the CPU offense coming to the LOS. Unfortunately when you press a button to skip it, it moves you off your player.

I still dislike the strategy pad (just so used to having Madden/NCAA with the same setup).

You can hit RT to skip the cutscene and NOT move your player. I use it all the time.

Madden sales not up to par?  I have never seen Gamestop give a discount on a Madden or NCAA game this early. Heck, other than Black Friday special you do not see a drop until spring.


$49.99 new
$54.99 used

Gosh I love gamestop. Please hurry up and buy our new copies so we can get some used copies in to make ridiculous profits on.
