IGN probably went by eyeballs. Several of the NCAA reporters (including the guy at Tradition, I think) commented that you couldn't even get your hands on a controller for Madden, and NCAA was comparatively easy. I think that's the largest factor in IGN's awards. Their awards have always been more hype and excitement related than anything else.
And honestly, that makes sense. They're not saying which game is the best ... but which game was the "Best of E3". It's like Best of Show for dog shows ... they might not be the best behaved dog, or the smartest dog, or the one you'd even want to own ... but damned if they don't put on their best face and get all the attention.
Think about it ... E3 is, inherently, a marketing convention. Hype and attention is the sole point of it.

I understand that too, but this directly affects me because I am hosting a dynasty full of friends who haven't played NCAA much & also doing my own. I will pay for the slots if I have to I guess but having 2 slots would make the most sense to me just becasue they have touted the fact that you can do a one player dynasty to take advantage of dynasty wire. Not a huge deal, but kinda annoying.

The discussion on game reviews is an interesting one, so it's been moved to its own thread in the Other Video Games sub-forum. Let's keep this thread focused on info coming out of E3.
More info from the guys at Tradition Football.
