Can we tone it down a bit, please?

Maybe they should try working smart, instead of hard. Or atleast listen to the people who make them rich. I dont remember one post from the forum asking for Season Showdown. A feature that wont even exist come Feburary.

I agree. I have no clue on what the NCAA developers want to do with this franchise or what their priorities are other than playing the demo or game.

I've said it before, if you come to OS you have to be ALL in. Either completely interact and be open and honest about the problems or you should probably not be here.

I do think people have been overly critical at times (I probably have been myself) but the length of time to get the football games good again on next gen has just been an overly frustrating experience for many people. Especially when you see the progress in other games. I really think they should have just ported everything over in the first place and worked on the graphics over time rather than rebuild the AI from scratch with new player models.

You're absolutely right...it should be directed at the people who make the decisions.

I'm one who thinks all the flaming is a good thing. Well, in most cases...In EA's case it may not be because they never really do anything to address peoples concerns...seriously, the gameplay is garbage on the next gen verison of all their football games and people have been flaming about it since they made the jump. As an example, the gaming community tells them the passing game sucks (or the blocking, or the running, ect.) and they give you some useless feature that you'll never explore because the game in unplayable...has it gotten better, perhaps, but it's STILL nowhere near where it was. That's why people are so angry, and not having an alternative only makes the problem worse.

Like this year, here's thier big marketing push:

All-New Season Showdown
Loyalty. Teamwork. Sportsmanship. Pride. These are the values that determine which school takes home the first-ever Season Showdown National Championship. With bragging rights on the line, earn credits for your favorite school by competing online or against the CPU, or visiting the season showdown website where you can earn credits during web-based games, including the all-new EA SPORTS Trivia Challenge.


All-New EA SPORTS TeamBuilder
With the deepest and most innovative Create-a-School mode ever, build your favorite FCS, historical, or high school teams, and share them with the rest of the nation! A revolutionary web-based editor allows you to alter everything from your logo and school colors to the ratings of your third-string left tackle.


That crap means absolutely nothing to me if I'm not having fun playing the game...it's worthless.

"all-new EA SPORTS Trivia Challenge"???? Are these people (EA) ********? Good gawd.

As an example, I downloaded the Fight Night 4 demo and that game caught my attention. I hated the Fight Night series and download it reluctantly. Then I played it and was like "WOW!" this is great. It was so greatly improved from the last time I tried it...I'm actually gonna buy that game. I downloaded the NCAA Football demo and was like yawn...Tiger Woods...snooze fest...like I said in a previous post, I'm more curious about the Wii version of Madden this year than I am anything else (football related)....Just because it's different.

I would have to agree. Even I don't like coming to this forum...

Anyone who is genuinely still interested in this game should not be subjected to those who no longer want to make a purchase and come in here "MAKING POSTS LIKE THIS!!!!"

I agree with the OP. Its getting old coming here everyday and seeing some poster act like a 10year old. All this name calling BS has to go.
