After watching the first round of the NFL Draft today and also reading the release of IGN’s preview of Madden ‘08. I thought up of a few reasons why I enjoy EA’s NCAA Football over Madden and here are the....
Top 10 Reasons Why EA’s NCAA Football is Better Than Madden
#10 Male Cheerleaders
Just kidding, but something else that poses is the Heisman Trophy which you can win.
What pose is there for the NFL MVP?
#9 Fight Songs
Much more entertaining and enduring than the pop rock/ hip hop
that are featured and soon fade away or grow tiresome.
#8 More Teams and Stadiums
Hundred fourty-four compared to thirty-two.
People know who and where the "Big House" and "The Swamp" are played,
not everyone knows where and who plays in the Alltel Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field.
#7 It’s Less Expensive
Usually $10 less
#6 End Zone Celebrations
No Ickey Shuffle, but teams can get flagged when getting carried away.
#5 Trick Plays and the Option
Boise State vs Oklahoma....
#4 Dynasty Mode
Too many hours spent here.
#3 It Has Nothing to Do With "America’s Team"... The Dallas Cowboys
"Nuff Said.
#2 There’s No Curse
But there could be if anyone really looks for one:
Reggie Bush - violating ncaa rules allegations
Several Qb's - either are retired or are 3rd string
Carson Palmer - injury in the playoffs
Shaun Alexander - made the madden cover (*see curse)
Ricky Williams - has glaucoma
Larry Fitzgerald - plays for the AZ Cardinals

How many times have you played while it was on mute??
*But you have to listen to Lee Corso instead.
Today, Team Coreupt officially announced its next title in development, an action and hack-and-slash game called Kirk Mephisto.

"Lovecraftian horror, who is insane enough not to love the mythos. That is why I am checking out Big Bad Wolves’ new narrative, cosmic horror game, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. I watched the trailer a while back, and that caught my attention, but now I will finally get the chance to try it out!" Kyle @ Thumb Culture
As I am English, I have played Madden over the years (since the megadrive) but never been too bothered about American Football.
Over the last few years I have started watching the NFL most weeks and started to take more interest in Madden. This year however I watched more College games as I found them more exciting.
This year I am unsure whether to get Madden, NCAA or both. Any advice?
(I even watched the Draft this year! I hope Quinn kills it this year, felt so bad for him)
