What is so bad about this game?

Entitlement has nothing to do with it. It's simply a matter of ea having a monopoly and making crappy games as a result. If I served you pizza in a restaurant that wasn't properly cooked or sliced and had maggots and hairs all over it and you complained, I wouldn't say "this day in age people feel so entitled." The difference is that with the pizza restaurant there are unlimited other choices if you are craving pizza. There is only one college football game. There are no alternatives. As cfb addicts we are stuck with this hunk of poo as long as there is an exclusivity deal.

If my pizza restaurant had a monopoly on pizza, I could simply tell you to come back and buy another pizza from us next year and it will fix the maggots etc. and then a year later when it doesn't, you complain online. Then some holier than thou type proclaims how it's sad that people these days feel sooo entitled to good pizza.

If you're having fun with it, I'd recommend that you adopt a "head in the sand" approach towards it. Even though OS users have a lot of very vocal opponents of the game, I'd bet that vast majority of people who play the game (most of which I'm sure don't peruse forums for the game) have a blast with it because they don't know of the issues others have with it. While I have no problem enjoying it despite its known flaws, if you think these could sour you on the game, just don't read about the issues and have a blast with the game yourself.

If its just freezing or really in depth stuff that unless you are a hardcore fan you wouldn't really notice then I think I'll be fine.

I'd consider myself a huge fan but I haven't been watching or playing the games for long enough and seeing as I live in the UK its hard the learn about the ins and outs of football.

Only recently am I really starting to understand football so I don't notice certain flaws.

I totally understand man, I don't think its too much to ask.

you're going to compare a game that plays a better game of football than the previous year, one that has more features, to under cooked pizza with maggots and hair?

lets say this. you own a pizza shop in a small town. you are the only place in town that serves pizza. the pizza, lets face it, just isn't great pizza. but lets face it, pizza is pizza, and even bad pizza is good.

maybe the games not perfect, but by no stretch of the imagination is the trash people keep making it out to be.

The 59-page glitch thread says otherwise.

I'm not certain and I haven't played the game but a lot of them seem to be minor glitches and not game breaking.

Ok see my above post then

[Darkeus]

There is a problem with NCAA 12. It just is not very good this year and Dynasty being broken is just the deal breaker.

I have been playing this series since the beginning and you know what, I actually traded it in before Winter was over. I NEVER trade in NCAA games. I was just fed up, the game is just not good. Passing game sucks, run blocking in teh Shotgun sucks, Dynasty is broken with the tendency bug, AI is just bleh and is psychic.

I could go on, the problems have been discussed ad-nauseum. It is sad, I would love to be playing football right now but the new game is just not very good at all. It has nothing to do with entitlement. It has everything to do with expecting at least the same quality of product as the PS2/Xbox versions of the last gen. They had college gameday and good blocking and all of that back then, why not now??
