The Age Old Debate: Madden or NCAA?

So I've been meaning to pick up a 360 football game for a while now. I'm a huge college football fan but don't really follow the sport into the pros.

I bought NCAA yesterday, but amidst concerns of the bugs / general playability haven't opened it yet. I've heard this version of Madden is the best in years. I also hear that Madden has more depth than NCAA. But then again, I don't really like the pro game that much...

So H/A, I ask unto thee: should I get NCAA 09 or Madden 09, and why?

    I'm biased as I play Madden pretty competitively.

    However I hear NCAA's AI is pretty fricking buggy.

    Personally, I went with Madden this year, but I\'ve always been a bigger fan of the pro game. I typically find the NCAA video games are more fun, though, especially the dynasties.

    This Madden (so far) is a pretty significant upgrade over years past. I\'d recommend it.

    I've always preferred NCAA. However, because of licensing (or something), the player names are never in the rosters. You can add them in, but it's tedious.

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?

    I'm liking Madden this year. they really did make the 20th anniversary feel like it meant something to them.

    Although I'm canadian so I dont' pay attention to NCAA at all.
