    i'm not exactly sure that this is going to be what happens. I expect a number of people to be laid off due to this.

    Oh I'm sure you're right, but you would think they'd hang onto the stars on the NCAA team and move them to Madden...

    I'm being honest. Yes, while visually NCAA might be more appealing visually, I feel as though the quality of the product has diminished. It's very arcade-ish to me, and requires no skill on offense because defense has been neutered.

    Well, I hate this, but I am not taking the time and energy to "fight" it...... It is, in the end, just a video game. FWIW, they said they weren't making a game next year and would "reevaluate" the status of the franchise later. So, while it seems unlikely, they could start making the game again later assuming all the legal issues going on right now get settled.

    Time to brush up on my Madden skills

    Well, looks like my buddy and I's OD will be going the distance! I'm happy with this year's game, and the good news, while the roster sharing feature is still alive, it'll be able to be updated from year to year. I don't think you can adjust a team's prestige/facilities/etc ranking though.


    I understand why they did this so I can't justify getting mad over their decision. But being an NCAA guy first, and a Madden guy sometimes, it really will be a bummer not seeing the series improve for the foreseeable future.

    Ya, this is the death of Madden as far as I'm concerned....most big NCAA players like to export/import. Now there's no point to buy any future Madden's beyond the updated version for the NextGen consoles.

    That's a generalization and an incorrect one.

    Ha! ok have fun not draft little Barry Sanders, or Ray Lewis in next years Madden. Instead you can draft Shaun Mason Jr. rookie out of Northern Iowa?

    Dude... madden sales are going to increase with the loss of NCAA. People want their football - regardless of whether it's colledge or pro.

    I wasn't talking about everyone was I? I was talking about for me. The only reason I ever bought Madden was so I could export/import. Great spelling btw colledge guy

    1) Most is a generalization that doesn't reference only YOU.
    2) Next time you insult a member for no reason it will be your last post.

    When you say "Most big players" - you're taking the emphasis off of yourself and putting it on to others. So, I have a lot of trouble believe you when you now backtrack and say that it's just about you.

    And if you're going to be a grammar nazi...

    Yeah, my grammar isn't always perfect - but you have no room to judge. Not to mention that these are the corrections coming from a guy with a degree in math. If someone were able to get a hold of this who actually knew the rules of grammar better than I, then this post would be bleeding with all of the red text.

    I assume that #2 now applies to me as well, so I am out.
