FIFA is a fun game, my brother has it. I would switch to it, but I don't have any time to learn a new game. The only madden games I've played in the last few weeks are league games, and even then it seems like a chore to get them in lately. I'm hitting that madden fatigue point with everything else that is going on in my lfie.

Not sure why you guys care so much about the presentation. Madden is fine at that, all I care about is gameplay. 2k5 was a damn arcade game, never got why everyone had such a hardon over that game.

As for NCAA13, I liked it better than Madden. It is nowhere near a clone, did you actually play it? If anything M13 stole from NCAA.

They are separate dev teams as well, though they are starting share code from what I've read.

I brought up the presentation because 2k5 was ahead of it's time. All these"new" features that madden brings to the table 2k5 already had, madden 2011 didn't even have.

I agree with NINJA! Not a better game but much better presentation!

What games are left?

Mine has to be simmed, I'm not in town to play my game any point today or early tomorrow.

Any update on Panthers vs Lions? That was the only game left that had 2 human players

Totally. The 400 yds rushing, 800 passing yards, 6 INTs game averages that people put up in Madden are a much better reflection of the sport. Simulation football for the win!

This this this. I picked up during a B2G1 years and years ago at Gamestop and I couldnt get into it either. The presentation wasnt great and the gameplay wasn't either. I felt their franchise mode left a lot to be desired. Esepecially compared to Madden 05 which (IMO) hit its pinnacle with the whole storyline central addition. Tony Bruno got stale but it was unique and fresh for a season and had a great impact on the game. I loved how you could control your team's finances with ticket prices (and pricing your own beer) and have never understood why Madden went away from that. If they ever made an online mode with a new storyline central and radio show feature (would have to be a different host now) I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I started playing Madden with Madden 06, so I never got into the 2k games. I played a little one time when a friend kept telling me how amazing 2k5 was and I truly didn't understand why he thought it was so great. I might be remembering wrong, but pretty sure 2k5 was released at $19.99, which seemed really cool. Seems like the only games that release at less than $59.99 now are old games being re-released and things like that. Would be nice if 2k or anyone else could get into making an NFL game so EA would work harder at making a better game.

I really enjoy NCAA 13, but it has some problems of it's own. It's definitely not a Madden clone. Transitioning from Madden to NCAA and vice versa is a problem for me because the games handle differently and it can throw me off. An online Dynasty would be really cool with a bunch of people playing. Recruiting would be intense. I had an online dynasty with a friend of mine, but he got bored and quit. An NCAA league honestly might be more enjoyable than a Madden league and that is coming from someone who isn't a big college football fan.

konfusion u going to be able to play tonight if we advance tonight?

I completely forgot about that. They should definitely bring stuff like that back into the game. I doubt it would be that difficult to add. Another thing that Madden franchise mode had back then was restricted free agents. For some reason they don't recognize them anymore.

I'm not sure. It's definitely possible. I know I will be able to play tomorrow.

Yeah, I liked that too. I've always liked the offseason aspect of football games so I welcome good additions to that. Its part of why I didnt buy Madden for a few years, they made franchise mode so barebones.

I just can't wait to see Denard Robinson on this years NCAA.

Go Blue!

I generally buy ever NCAA game though, this is the first time in 6 years I didnt. My fav part has always been recruiting

All games are complete except OAK vs IND and MIA vs SD, so I guess we can advance whenever. Here's to hoping for a Reggie Bush Player of the Week!

We had an NCAA league here for a while that fell apart halfway through season two. The recruiting battles IMO were incredibly fun. The only thing that sucked is they limited the leagues to only 12 teams if I remember right.

Good game I feel that was my Jordan flu game lol. I wasnt even looking at that side of the screen when i threw that pick I was a bit out of it.
Whoever I play this week I will not be available tonight.
