Bill Abner's Review of NCAA '09

[fantasysportsguy]

I think they test them, I even think they know about the bugs, I just believe that they don't care about the game being the best it can be, especially when it sells well and makes them money.

One guys opinion, no more no less. Especially coming from one of the Bill's of doom. It is like getting movie reviews for a comedy from some emo kid. We get it, the movie sucks, it sucked before you even saw it. Some of you sheep seem to need validation from others to coincide with your enjoyment level. Peace out you whiny, wool wearing, crybabies...

I wish I was an awesome a gamer as you. Ohhh to be able to have a game play perfectly like your copy does. I envy you.

I don't believe I ever played those. '09 is the worst football game I can remember playing, not the worst football game ever made.

by the way, can someone slide this review across the EA CEO's desk?

Or do you think he just looks at the 500,000 sold copies thus far and says, "Who cares if it doesn't work, they bought it. I wouldn't care if we sold them a blank disc, they still bought."

lol

Really? Well you obviously havent played alot of football games. The first two Madden's on next gen were much worse than 09.

'Football' people don't test the game. A football person would pick up that the drive summary is adding in the field goal length to the total drive length summary. A non football person doesn't notice that. When little things like that go unnoticed, it's a not a good sign for them getting the details right.

EA's CEO would say "The game sold 500,000 and the shareholders are happy. Who cares that 1% of the buyers are unhappy w/ buggy rosters and online dynasty"

The game works for plenty of people...including me. I played it a few days ago.
