Three yards and a cloud of dust. A beautifully executed option play brings tears to my eyes. Yes, the game has passed me by and so has NCAA Football. I agree about Madden. You can only play the same game so many years in a row. Yes, there are yearly upgrades and differences, but Madden, is well Madden. It is still the only NFL game in town (unless Blitz catches your fancy). I am such a hard ass (or maybe that is dumb ass) that I want to play college football for the running game.

Bought it for a couple of years but I preferred the gameplay of Madden. NCAA had some nice things, like the wide camera angle and playing option was a nice departure from Madden. But to me, it always exhibited the worst aspects of EA football, such as suction-blocking way worse than Madden, poor pass defense AI. Kind of burned out on Madden too. Playing multiplayer online games of NHL and FIFA made it seem like Madden was really stale. Probably will end up getting it once the NFL season ramps up. But by then new NHL and FIFA would be coming out. Madden 10 is getting praise from some traditional skeptics. But to me, I'll wait to see the things they overlooked, like contracts and salary cap in the so-called online franchise. Or how about coming out with Co-Op online mode only for 2 players against the CPU? Really lame. Never did get too into NCAA. Bought it for a couple of years but I preferred the gameplay of Madden.
