NCAA 12 vs Madden 12

So with these two games around the corner instead of creating two different threads I decide to combine it into one.

Those are a couple trailers for NCAA 2012 and I am pumped for it. Even if they didn't touch any features (which they already have said to improve) Madden will have a tough time catching up to NCAA in game quality.

I have to agree that the new NCAA Football 2012 will be really sweet! Can't wait to get on the field with the Michigan Wolverines as I take them to a National Championship with Brady Hoke!

So I like some of the things they say the added (again last year we were told there are tons of QB comparisons and I seemed to continue to get one bland generic one)

 

The thing I liked the most was expanded Roster in franchise mode. I didn't care for the free agent bidding (unless it's like the NFL Head Coach bidding) and rookie scouting because they have for the last 4 years said they have made improvements to this and really nothing changed.

<p>Way more excited for NCAA, the dev team for that game is first rate. Custom playbooks will be cool and Coaching Carousel should be good for a first iteration, I'll be more excited for it when coaches get ratings. I might just do a SuperSim dynasty entirely on the PC as well as play the game. Still hoping there is a new bell or whistle to spruce recruiting up a bit...</p><p> </p><p>

Madden's franchise mode has been broken for this whole console generation <em>(last year if I supersimmed a Titans game Chris Johnson would set the single game rushing record and have 5 TDs, but if I just simmed a year he'd be lucky to rush for 600 yards and 4 TDs)</em> and player roles will almost certainly just make it worse. They are doing some good things with the draft and free agency, but I'm going to be a skeptic until I see it go.</p>

Since I didn't follow any dev blogs for NCAA 2012, I got a question here ... are FCS schools in NCAA 2012? My guess is they're not but I wouldn't know either way. Now, this isn't a buy or no buy feature, but would be nice no matter what. I think this'll be the first football game I buy since NCAA 2009 from what I gathered though.

I haven't read anything about that, but the biggest issue is money which is why they don't do it in previous games

I'm really excited about getting Madden 12 with all the much needed franchise updates. Last year was the first time I never bothered buying it, and I didn't play 10 much. I was thinking about passing on NCAA this year, but the coaching carousal feature has changed my mind.

I'm really liking the feel of the NCAA demo. Madden is also looking solid this year, and with Hillis on the cover the Clevelander in me will have to buy it too for the first time in a couple of years.

 

On another note, I'll probably be doing another NCAA online dynasty if anyone is interested. I'm open to suggestions as to the team requirements, but I'm leaning towards returning to a conference dynasty rather than last year's 3-star and under.
