Madden and NCAA 2010

I've been playing the '08 versions of these two games on my ps3 for a while now, and am thinking of getting the updated versions. Would it be worth it? Will the change over be difficult for me to get used to?

Can't say. My main system is the Wii nowadays. I did not even bother to get Madden 2010 (they removed my favorite features on the Wii version) and they did not even make a NCAA game this year (then again, last year's sucked on the Wii pretty bad, so maybe it was no real loss).

Up until this year, I was a huge fan of the NCAA games way more than Madden, as 9 times out of 10 they were virtually the same. This year, the NCAA game is horrible. They have taken a huge step back, like someone just modded a 10-year old version of the game. It's really that bad. Like, so bad I bought it then returned it the next day.

On the other hand, Madden 10 is superb.

Madden NFL 10 still has a few bugs it needs to work out to make it "NFL 2K5" awesome, but it is the best Madden in some time. They finally got the Madden IQ right (letting you adjust the sliders if you want instead of being stuck to what you have), the franchise mode is a little lacking but still all kinds of fun, they switched the playcalling back to the old school method (which IMO is an improvement).

And (if you want to) the AFL DLC is truly awesome. That gives you all the AFL uniforms and throwbacks, plus an "AFL Mode" which will give your game an old-timeish grain filter and change the layout of the stats and scoreboard and whatnot, and also gives the refs old unis as well. And lastly, it enables the "Legacy" games in Franchise where both teams wear their throwbacks and it goes into AFL mode without the grain filter.
