at this point I would suggest to OS and their members we should begin calling their PR department and the owner himself until we get the answers we deserve. Just a thought.

I 100% share in your frustration over the product and how elements of this game that shouldn't have been touched turned out to be completely broken. If you have the time to continue calling Tiburon and if that feels productive to you, then by all means, continue to do so.
But for the rest of us, you know what your recourse is. GameStop is probably the most insidious force in the gaming industry because they drive game sales and completely take money out of the hands of publishers & developers (by selling one retail copy of the game over and over again) at the same time.
It's simple supply and demand. By trading in your game to GameStop, you place a used copy into the stream of commerce that will be bought by another consumer, in lieu of giving their money to EA. Also, the more people who trade the game in (and the earlier you do it, the more value you get), will tend to drive the price of the used game down more quickly, since GameStop will lower the price if they have dozens and dozens of games they paid to reacquire simply resting on their shelves.
I've been a loyal EA customer for years, but if you feel betrayed as a consumer: don't get angry, don't call people names, just trade in the game as early as you can bear it and do something better with your money. The money you would get in an exchange for NCAA could by you a used copy of Dead Space, Battlefield: BC, or countless other games, including the entire 2009 sports library from EA or 2k.
