I owe EA an apology. Perhaps not so dumb.

Yeah, I wonder if many people really gave '08 a chance after the patch last December. I know I didn't really....I was pretty fed up by that point. But after the game sat on the shelf in the off season, I picked it up again this fall and it wasn't so bad.

I was not necessarily fed up with the game, but those I would usually play with, they gave up on the game quick. Before 09' released I played NCAA 08' regularly, until 09 released. 09' stills gets spins, but not often.

I never said it was too hard. I said it's just cheap, that you cant play defense like you should be able to.

Also, if a TE catches a pass in the open, it doesnt matter what you're speed is, youre not catching him from behind. Yes I can get sacks at times, but feeling like some plays are just pre-determined is no fun. I hold firm in that this is the second worst NCAA ever.

i agree with the cpu not throwing deep but as far as the rest you must have a diffrent game. ill give you that on aa the players have no awareness and you have to do everything yourself but there is plenty of d on heisman. its much more read and react than throw to the open man and run. i have no idea what the not catching a te from behind thing is. i dont even know what your talking about. the sliders my online dynasty uses had the best rb with only 12 runs over 20 for a hum at the end of year. i think you just need to quit playing on puss mode and make it challenging.

Totally agree and that isn't the end of the freaking endless buggy list. No patch can fix this game it needs a total overhaul. One quick example how no patch can fix it, a big 12 dyn i am in post patch just got bombed. Everyone plays last week opponent again plus some like me got 2 wins outa one game, also the stats are messed up. So i second stoneclod's opinion that this is the second worst game every.

So let me get this straight. This game is worse than the others because Online Dynasty is glitched? A feature that none of the other games even had?!?!? That doesn't make any sense.

That's not what EA's plan was.

The game is ridiculously easy on offense. If I was using Oklahoma and I was playing Eastern Michigan, I would expect for it to be easy to score. However, when I am using San Diego St. and I'm lighting up USC, then there is something wrong.

I still play the crap out of the game. It's fun but it definitely has flaws.
