Many football fans may follow one level of football more than the other (college more than pro, for example), however sports gamers tend to play many different sports games, even of the same sport. It seems to only make sense that NCAA Football gamers would devote significant hours to Madden NFL as well (and vice versa) given some of the natural tie-ins including Draft Classes and Road to Glory export to Superstar Mode. However, it seems that in recent years the split has become more diverse, with fans of each franchise going into diverse directions.
While each in the hardcore communities may have gameplay improvements as their top feedback item, NCAA Football gamers have fallen deeper into Dynasty Mode while Madden NFL seems to be more of a 'one-off' game in part due to such a large tournament scene.
