Agree. While there were some pretty obvious issues the past several seasons (which sound like they are finally being addressed...the major ones anyway), none of them were dealbreakers for me anyway. Gameplay is always fun, graphics are good, and recruiting is the fckin shit! It's not like there's really much alternative anyway, except to not buy the game, so the product they put out the last few years was better than NO college football for me. However, I am hoping that the issues mentioned in the article are resolved and done so smoothly, because it would make an already solid, fun game into an outstanding game. I hate buying/renting games, only to get home and discover that they suck balls. With NCAA, you always pretty much know what you're getting, and it's at least going to be enjoyable. If the improvements are as good as they look like, this year looks like I will KNOW that I am getting a sweet ass game come July!!!

What kills be about this year's game (on ps3 anyway) is when you are running the option, and 10-15yds down field; your pitch man just cuts away to block someone or take a dump or something.

I'll be running with 1 man to beat and go to pitch the ball, and the rb is gone...

I want to see more authentic stadiums too. Hopefully Michigan's upgrades will be in there.

Well no shit...ever watch a option team run? Once your qb break it for about 5 yards, the RB usually does become a blocker....and your talking 10-15 yards....he better become a blocker and just not run next to the QB....

I was the "Head Gear to come back....Wish you could watch a Gameday every week...I think that would be sweet as fuck...

In previous editions, the rb stayed with you. I'm talking when you've cleared the front 7-8 or whatever, he peels back on someone. There is a difference when you turn out and head up field and he picks up a corner crashing in around the LOS. That I understand. I am talking about when the 2 of you are on a break away 10-15 yds down, and he tunrs around like he forgot something.

I didn't buy last years game because I thought it was worse than '09..

However, I'll more than likely pick up '11..

I am however, DONE with Madden. Ugh, so many years and hoping it would finally improve.. Nope. EA sucks.

Only sports games I truly can sit down and enjoy have been NBA 2K and MLB The Show.

Oh shit, I forgot.. EA does make one great sports game.. Fifa.

Cool numbers on the helmets. EA has been working hard this year. That should make the game much better.
Why don't they revamp the commentary? Corso and Herbstreit say the same things now as they did in NCAA '05 and '06.

I picked up Madden 10 for $31 on EBAY last week.

Will probably do that with the NCAA game from last year as well as this year's games.

The only game I plan on going out and buying the first day it comes out is the 2k10 MLB game. One of my favorite series of games out there.

I thought the numbers were already there.

Also, I could have sworn that the refs were there too, at least 1 on the field.

It depends. During game action the numbers disappear. After the play/between plays, the number would re-appear
