Why cant EA use their NCAA team for Madden

It seems like NCAA is on another level than Madden all the way around. Its like one is varsity team and Madden is the JV developers.

There are things in NCAA like the halftime show with Reece and David, better presentation, more crowd atmosphere better involvment and tons less bugs.

Ncaa has WAY more stadiums, teams, colors, mascots to deal with. Madden doesnt. Just player names and salaries. Ncaa comes out ahead of madden and Im sure goes gold much faster. Madden they actually have more time to put into the game but dont.

While Madden has none of the above but more bugs. Why couldnt they give MAdden a halftime show with the CBS crew Shannon Sharpe, Marino etc? Why is the crowd so generic and dead? Why are the player models so small?

Why does it seem like one game is on track and the other looks like it was developed by 12 year olds

I wish NCAA was more like Madden. Gameplay feels so much better to me

I would reverse that question. While Madden does have some annoyances that NCAA doesn't have, the graphics, gameplay, and presentation are far superior in Madden. I think the two games do share SOME elements like Infinity Engine, certain animations, and menu design.

That being said, these development teams can't even get ONE game right, now you want to spread them to TWO games?

I'm personally praying that the next-gen team has absolutely ZERO members of the current gen ncaa/madden teams

Re: Why cant EA use their NCAA team for Madden

NCAA may have a few things like cold weather games in play now and a better zoom camera but M25 is the FAR superior football representation. especially on defense. D is far from perfect in madden but in NCAA it doesn't exist.

OP is tripping. On this entire cycle of current gen games, how has NCAA truly improved Dynasty? Outside of not being able to make their mind up on recruiting, they haven't really accomplished much.
