Agreed in many respects on the improvements end. I definitely see NCAA taking a bigger step than Madden this year giving it the slight edge.
I'm definitely more excited to play NCAA than Madden, but one thing does worry me... One of the major things that keeps a game (particularly sports) from being believed to be "great" is poor audio. This has persisted throughout both franchises, but with EA's recent announcement that it will have GUS JOHNSON in Madden, I'm led to believe that NCAA still may be "left out of the party" this year in the talk of best sports game of the year.
Does it affect the "fun factor"? Not necessarily. But it definitely affects the overall quality of the game. I'd be curious as to what the CD guys think about this point of contention?
