[timotomtime]

After reading this I'm buying madden (used)(ea does deserve my $)

Jayson nailed it!

The players seem to slide and glide more than actually having the foot planting in the grass. This bothers me because it makes the game seem very arcadish. I never get the feeling the players are ever really running. Other than the the game looks GREAT, but the commentary is so stale and awful at times. It still does not show (at least in the demo) any true TD celebrations with teammates mobbing (esp for game winners) no crowd noise differentials...etc. they have work to do. The demo seems like NCAA 11.5

[Wildcats302]

The demo is like 3 months old almost...that may be why it seems like NCAA 11.5.

I've also played all the sports game that one reviewer props up and all bore me...although they do have nice presentation obviously when compared to NCAA and Madden.

i honestly didnt feel the excitement of playing a brand new game guys

This game gets me so mad. First none of them must have a PS3. Since they didnt mention how poorly done that version is compared to Xbox 360. Second is they say how nice and polished the game looks and than they show cut scenes as gameplay pics when thats not how the game looks when your playing it.

i honestly think madden would be better. think of it this way we the fan fell that both madden and ncaa need complete make overs. madden does feel fress. if they would have used the same contrast and brightness balance as madden the game would feel better. we are gamers so just that look would have blown us away and feel more alive ncaa feels the same aside from tackling. the players look dead and the grass looks dead. the lighting adjustment would be great

I agree with Christian and Bob. Jason your not serious when you state, Mlb the Show has TV-quality commentary are you? Even though I agree NCAA commentary needs work, The Show needs more work.
