Honestly, A, I dont think you have played Madden enough to have a worthy opinion on this /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />
Creating plays is awesome, especially when you can design em around your players (I have several designed rollout runs for Vick, Iso's for Moss, etc), and you can create a playbook as well in Madden. Madden also has the hit stick, which is THE SHIT..you absolulely demolish the ball carrier if you use it right..! And now on offense they added the Truck stick, which allows you basically to push forward as you get tackled or take a chance by hop-stepping back to try to completely humiliate a defender. I havent played NCAA 2006, but Madden also has Vision and Precision, which means you have to be looking at the receiver to throw to them (accurately) and you can also determine if you want to throw the ball high, low, behind them, etc. Not to mention NFL superstar mode which (though I haven't done yet) basically allows you create a player (get to pick their parents even), and then manage their lives (get to hire an agent, take a real IQ test to determine you player's awareness, etc). And although I do enjoy the vast array of plays in NCAA (I will never forget the time I beat my friend [who always gets NCAA and I get Madden] by running the Triple Option practically the whole game with Antwan Randal El when he was at Indiana /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />) but many of those plays are excluded because defenses are too quick for them to work in the NFL. And yea, there's create-a-fan, All-time teams, 96 Packers, and all that as well. Oh, I almost forgot Playmaker, the ability to control receivers or blockers in MID PLAY (though I have found this very hard to use with the new Vision and Precision).
Madden for life, though I could still beat you at NCAA /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />:D:D
