every damn thing... nearly everything madden was doing, was done on ncaa first
then the college recruiting, the college play style, the number of teams, the number of playbooks..... video game wise it was way more to do than madden
but for me... my personal fav was dynasty mode.. yea i can be a coach in madden... pick whatever team and call it a day
but in ncaa you had it like real life... you were starting as a coordinator and a shytty team at that... you can rise the ranks as an OC or DC... or move up to head coaching... but you needed to win and make progress if the 5 star teams were gonna offer shyt... or you can get your dream job and stay
coming up from a temple dc to finally getting that penn state head coaching job... then taking them to the championship and getting that lifetime scholarship
trying to get a top recruiting class every year..... a lot better than... turn on madden, pick team, get free agents and easy trades.... win damn near every year... be all 99s by year 4.... quit playing game
