Well Rudy-Maybe we'll be able to finish our season on the Show this year if NCAA doesn't cut it.

Very true Coffee. There will be more room for other games. I still love recruiting and dynasty. It just sucks to think of how much better Madden might be this year. All the rave reviews at E3 for Madden and not much for NCAA. Right now the momentum and turn-on-a-dime physics for NCAA is my biggest beef.

I think you nailed it on the head. The NCAA team just doesn't get it. They put all their focus on Season Showdown and Teambuilder and didn't try to adopt a lot of the new gameplay stuff Madden had because they didn't have time because of the fluff.

I asked Adam Thompson (formerly OMT) on OS a couple months ago about a couple things.

1 - Why weren't the new QB accuracy ratings (short,medium,deep) not in NCAA?
Answer (after a little smokescreen) - they didn't have time to add it because of working on other things (probably Showdown)

2 - Was NCAA adopting the new momentum system Madden is using?
Answer - not completely. They didn't like it (ie, they like arcade turn on a dime stuff over realism).

When the developer for NCAA goes on a video blog and says they added Season Showdown to add replayability to the game I just shake my head. Ian says he adds great presentation and gameplay stuff to make the game better - this adds longevity to a title.

The Madden team fully gets it. The NCAA team is lost and stupid and needs a new leader. I'm absolutely convinced of that.
I didn't realize you had asked OMT those questions.
After hearing that,coupled with everything else....I'm now thoroughly convinced.....they DON'T get it.

I'm sorry...but imo,there is absolutely NO reason NCAA should be lacking the same game improvements that Madden is receiving (qb acc. ratings, momentum system).....this tells me that their priorities are completely out of whack,and it's time to get some fresh blood in there.....to get the series back on track,and give gamers what is expected.

Because lets face it....every year on the new platforms,it's always SOMETHING with the game. Hopefully Madden will buck that trend this year,and based on everything I've read and seen...it seems to be the case.
NCAA on the other hand?....all I can say is,maybe sales will drop enough,that the big wigs will HOPEFULLY realize that a change is needed,and get a new leader.

If the roster issue isn't fixed though (still can't believe how that happened) won't that have an effect on recruiting and dynasty?

IF there's a bright side to all of this....it's like you mentioned, you'll have plenty of room for other games.
That was the one advantage to having mediocre games last year (Madden,NCAA).....I was able to give other games a go,that I might have missed out on had I been able to fulfill my football fix.
