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

#1 You Don’t Have to Listen to Madden’s Annoying Commentary
How many times have you played while it was on mute??
*But you have to listen to Lee Corso instead.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
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)
