From what I've gathered, and I could very well be wrong, but you're getting a rehash of last years title with some new custom teams. That's enough for you?

No, but I know that's not not the case. The upgrades being carried over from Madden are what make NCAA a buy for me. PA, branching animations, steerable animations, pocket forming, and improved pursuit angles.

I understand team builder doesn't do much for some, and more power too you. My entire point was that your opinion is not shared by all. I think a quick glance at the first two pages of this forum proves that pretty conclusively.

Unless I am mistaken QFT is short for "Quote for truth". I usually don't abbreviate, but it fit there.

Let me be clear; I wish NCAA was taking the Madden route all around and rededicating themselves to 100% sim. I really do. I have no doubt that this will be the first year since 2005 that I play more Madden than NCAA. Is NCAA going to be the game I wish it was? No, it wont, but the upgrades that are making the leap, with the addition of team builder (CAT has always been one of my favorite features), make NCAA a buy for me.

That doesn't mean I'm granting the game an A+.

I dunno man, from what I've seen? NCAA looks pretty much the same, and some of my suspicions were confirmed by this article. I'm fairly sure the man didn't lie when he said the game plays pretty much the same. I'll rent NCAA, and if it's good, I'll buy it. However as much as I love collegiate football, I can't spend my money on a mediocre product.

This is key. We're only eight weeks from release, and I'm worried that E3 is going to be used as a smokescreen for raw footage. We need to see the gameplay thoroughly in action before E3 so that we can make a decision on it without being smothered in more media hype videos, a la NFL Draft.
