ZERO DEFENSIVE SUBS~ unless there is an injury there are no subs!!! 2. auto-subs on offense that don't work correctly 3. ridiculous fatigue~ they system would be fine if we had FORMATION SUBS!!!! (only missing for 4 years now) 4. progression brings cpu robo QB back by about season three. Last night versus Nevada (A.A. QB acc 40, receptions 40) I watched the QB go 22-31 for 286 and three tds. Come on, this is Nevada we're talking about!

Colin Kaepernick is pretty awesome. Keep an eye on him this season.

Back on topic. Yeah, sales are dropping, the suits must be ready to give up on this franchise.

They aren't going to give up on it because it is obviously making profit. I do think that they will look at the trend in sales and make a change to the person leading the NCAA franchise at least.

My intention is not to bash the NCAA game or EA....

I'm one of the people who gave up on buying NCAA each and every year. I just simply grew tried of the yearly disappointments of the game. The wait for the return of old gen features became just too long. Along with the feeling that the gameplay grew worse with each new release. For me....the fun of past NCAA games had been replaced with frustration. Instead of continuing to bang my head against the wall, and spend more time bitching about the game, than playing it, I spoke with my wallet.

It's great to hear that NCAA '10' for the most part has been better received than games of the last few years. But for me...I've moved on to games I simply enjoy more.

I love it that sales are down. Maybe they'll get the hint and go back to their roots. Back when they tried to put the best NCAA football game out there. Step one should be, make sure everything they offered in the PS2 version is in the Next Gen version.

Maybe a slump in sales will inspire change. My fear is that change would be EA Sports dropping the title, which would be a shame. For many years they used to make a hell of a college football game. I would love to see them make a comeback.

All we need now is for Madden to outsell itself from last years numbers and we will finally see some changes in the NCAA devolpment team, here's to hoping for the best.

Wow.

Question: Have you played any other NCAA game before?

At this point I wouldnt care if they dropped NCAA. There is no way they will pay for an exclusive agreement and NOT release a game. So I would figure they would drop the agreement with the NCAA and it would allow other companies to come in and try to capitalize.

Next gen has been terrible for the NCAA series. Its almost 2010 and we still dont have things in the game that were in the game in 2002.

Everyone on the NCAA team should be moved to a different project where whatever talents it is that they have can be put to better use.

EA's consumers are speaking, the question is, does anyone at EA/Tiburon hear it?

Yea the people are fed up, its not the economy, great post.
