Man, I want both games, but they come out just a month apart from eachother and I had both games last year....to be honest there isnt a whole lot of difference between the 2, as far as the actual gameplay goes..... I mean Madden is better hands down, but the feel of both games is the same, which ofcourse they are since there both from EA.... This is where I wish if Madden owns the NFL rights then fine, but why cant they come out with an alternative college football game from 2K?? that way I get both and I feel alot better like I'm not flushing money down the drain buying the same game a month apart..... I'm wondering if the best idea might be buying Madden 09, and just go with that until NCAA 09 goes down 20 at best buy, or I find a good deal on ebay.... I'm just trying to think of ways to save cash, cuz there are other games I want this year..... I just bought NG2 last week, got Bad Company yesterday, and Madden 09, NBA 2K9 and Gears of War 2 are LOCKS for me to buy day 1.... But I'm also keeping an eye on Star Wars Force Unleashed, Far Cry 2, and maybe NHL 09.... anyways, who out there is getting NCAA 09 and Madden 09 both on the days they are released??

I kinda want NCAA 09 more because the last one I got was 07 and to tell you the truth after playing the demo it was the same game just updated roster so I dont know if I want to even get it. I have Madden 08 and Im going to wait for the demo and if its the same then I dont think Im going to get either one this year. I dont want to spend money on the same thing I feel like all they added was dynasty online.

I will, I'm a huge football fan so I'm going to buy NCAA 09 and play it for the month or so until Madden comes out then buy that too. I'll probably play through a few full seasons and save my draft class to later import when I get Madden. Might trade NCAA in at a later time to help me get other games later this year such as Gears 2 but I'll keep it for a while.

Some people would call me crazy, to get both games year after year. With the same game and updated rosters and upgraded features and gameplay. but what can i say, i'm a sports fanatic and i love sports game. Yes i'll be picking up both games. but i'll wait to buy both Madden and NCAA09 on the same day when madden comes out though. lol.

I will definitely purchase Madden 09. I'm on the fence when it comes to NCAA 09 (never owned any of the previous titles). I'm a college football fan, so I might pick it up. I will download the demo tonight on PS3 if it isn't on 360's Marketplace when I get home.

Actually I want Madden more cuz IMO Madden 08 was alot better then NCAA 08... When I was younger I remember and had Sega Genisis, then PS1, etc etc, I use to buy the Madden and NCAA EVERY year, but as I got older I realized how dumb that it cuz ur just buying the exact same game over and over again, just with updated rosters, and an added move or 2, and thats it.... So I decided with my 360 I was going to buy my sports game every OTHER year, just so the one I have doesnt get too outdated.... But as far as Madden goes, I'm a Raider fan, so when Raiders had a busy offseason signing safety Wilson from NYG, trading for D Hall for ATL, signing J Walker at WR, and then drafting McFadden at RB, they made so many moves that even if they suck in real life, its gonna be alot of fun playing them on Madden, so I decided Madden 09 was a must buy, and sold my 08..... I'm also a die hard USC Trojans fan, and with Ohio St on schedule, I then decided I wanted this years to, so I sold my 08, but I COMPLETELY agree with you about the Demo, I DL it last night, played it, and its was EXACTLY like playing 08, and so now I am regretting selling my 08....I guess 07 had better reviews then 08, and with Madden 08 possibly the best Madden yet ever, I was thinking EA might take some of that Madden 08 and add it into the NCAA game, which would make it a must have for me, so I took a chance, but yea, so far NCAA 09 looks exactly like 08, I guess I can always go back and buy a used copy of 08 again lol

No it doesn't you have to pay about $90.00 US for the package that includes Head Coach. But I will be buying Madden as I just traded in my copy of 08 as I am officially finished with it.

I usually get NCAA every year, as all my friends get Madden and we play it together most of the time. Plus NCAA has always been a one player sports game to me. However, the demo they released on Xbox Live has totally changed my mind. I though last year's version played better, not sure if they have really improved the game at all, so I'm still undecided at the moment since playing the NCAA 09 Demo. Might not get either.

For some reason the ncaa demo sucked.... graphics sucked and the feel just didnt seem right.

I will be buying the madden + head coach package (you can make your own plays and playbook and import to madden) and hopefully the online leagues are good.... if they drop the ball again this year though I will take a few years off.
