Finally I read a post on who people play with and I know its college football and I know its about tradition and I know its about favorite teams. But did every little brat out there grow up liking a powerhouse. I LOVE the underdog and my favorite football teams are the little guys who have recently become big programs. I will play with Missouri and Kansas until I die, regardless of rank EVER. I feel like this next generation of gamers have a NEED TO WIN attitude that is sad. In a simulation game, you can have jersey-less numberless powerhouses and play the same....year in and year out.


Does anyone else feel like what they want out of the game is becoming different from what others want?
Umm, we can look at ratings/rosters and they are "****ed up beyond belief."

Secondly, you just said yourself, it's a SIMULATION. Therefore it should not only play like real football, but LOOK like it. Like 50% of players in the NCAA right now have this facemask:

...yet it isn't even in the ****ing game...

People like you are what make this game suck. Year in and year out.

And lastly, if the game WAS good, maybe we wouldn't complain about how players look. I mean, my philosophy is this: if the game is going to play like ***, then at least make it look good.

EA can't do either.

Oh yeah, and how the hell do they mess up Iowa's facemask? All they have to do is look at a ****ing picture of them in google images, but no, that's just too much research right there...

Congratulations, you have an opinion. And no, they were successful for the same reasons. People just didn't realize that it was possible to have better graphics, so they didn't mind it. That's why people pay $300 for an Xbox 360 and not $5 for an N64.

Re: Odd motivations by pre-NCAA players

Nothing about the game has improved. So after 4 years of NCAA on next gen there are still uniform issues. I can see where some people are pissed. Especially Iowa fans, last year the numbers were screwed now its the facemasks. The equipment hasn't been changed ever, there are the same issues over and over. It doesn't really matter to me I am not buying this game this year. I boycott products like this. There is not a reason in the world for me to buy this game this year.

NOT TO LOOK GOOD DOING IT.(speaking of uniforms) It may bother me if my players had a 3rd arm or something weird.

So the correct values should be as follows:

Gameplay>Skill Necessity>Features>Presentation>Graphics

YOU GET WHAT YOU GET, AND YOU DON'T GET UPSET!
I'm sorry, but you make absolutely no sense. You want realism, yet you bash those who want their team's uniforms to be correct? How will EA ever make a realistic game if they can't even get a uniform right?

That would be more than a stretch. You don't want artists working on gameplay!

Last time i checked in have to shell out 63 dollars every year and can't express what i want in the game. Season Showdown are you kidding me in the grand scheme of things people don't play with their favorite school online they play to win so was that neccesary. No it wasn't but yet you don't mention that. I want to be able to replicate a player down to every detail madden seemed to be able to add facemasks this year. For the second straight year you have a cover athlete who doesn't have his facemask in game and it's supposed to be ok it's like they are rubbing my face in it.

So move on because if i want to come on here to express what i feel should be in a game i pay my hard earned money on because i want a developer to hear from me then i should be able to without someone calling me bruno or saying my concerns are not worthy of being heard

I commend your post, my friend. I understand people are upset. Hell, I'm a even a little upset. At this point all we can do is

A) Realize "It is what, it is". Play the game, look over it faults and have fun.

B) Don't buy the game and wait for M10 to get you football fix.

or

C) Bitch and Moan about what didn't make it in the game and make yourself miserable.

I'm going with A
