Why does EA have one big flaw each year?

What football game pro or college have you seen where there was no turnovers in a game?

I think you're well aware that the point is that you'd rather see none than ten; combined turnover numbers like 1, 3, 5, 2, 1 instead of 5, 7, 9, 6, 4.

Michigan had 11 interceptions last season; Henne threw 8. I can see both of those numbers surpassed in about four games on 08.

And the CPU manages to throw a ton more than should be, it almost impossible not to have 2 or 3 DBs on first team all america. I like how people say the passing game is realistic but when you try to throw a lob you have to hope it throws a lob. People defend EA way to much. They have no competition, except for Madden. So the game will be out every year well before the season so it sales don't get hurt by Madden. Don't expect god awful game killing problems to go away. But I'm sure the ESPN and weather channel features will improve.

Excellent point, which brings up something else that bothers me about this board...

ALL USER THROWN INT'S ARE NOT THE USERS FAULT

Case in point. My slot reciever runs a post over the middle. He dust of the cb (who takes the outside anyway, thus taking him out of the play) and i throw it to him over the middle. THe safety is there, but all my reciever has to do is keep running and he will get to the ball before the safety does ( I know it should happen because A. I've seen it and B. I use to actually do it myself in college ). But what ends up happening? My reciever just fades backwards and the safety steps up and intercepts the ball (the safety usually has to make a superhuman dive forward to pick it off, that's how far away he is from my reciever). In this instance I have made the perfect read, corner is taking away the outside so I am throwing inside, and the safety is to far away to recover in time) Real life: 15-25 yard completion. This game: intercepted roughly 60% of the time.

The angle plays with running backs out of the backfield also boggle my mind with this logic. My running back will be about 8 yards behind the linebacker but no matter what i do the lb makes a superhuman leap to pick it off. I can see one a game, but every time I do it???

I should have known something was up when I heard that EA took out direct passing. Why the hell would you want to take away control from the user?

However, at least play action isn't an automatic sack this year. The compute never falls for it, but...it's at least a start.

Get the heck outta here

this is why i simply will not get EA ncaa football games....not since 2004 anyway. i have rented or received ncaa games as gifts and played 2005, 2006, 2007, and every year there was a gamekillin glitch. it's just pathetic.
believe me, i WANT a EA ncca football game, but until EA releases a game without a gamekillin element, ain't gonna happen. 2004 still rocks in the ole Xbox though, so all is not lost.

Actually, NCAA '07 on the old Xbox (not the 360) is a superb game, and better than NCAA 04 in (almost) every way. NCAA 04 is a classic game, but last year's Xbox game is gold star good.
