i see what you mean and i agree. i've never adjusted the "sliders" before or anything like that and i never got to take advantage of the online dynasty last year, so i'm looking forward to the game. as you can tell by my post count, i haven't been too active in the ncaa on-line community. i tried online dynasties last year but they usually fell apart after the 2nd or 3rd week, so other than a few online games every now and then i stuck to campus legend and dynasty modes. i'm just easy to please i guess.

More people need to have will power like you. I have said all along that if formation subs weren't back I would not buy the game. I have changed my tune to "I will buy the game used" now. I know some people on here love the game but it has fallen so far in the realm of presentation and it's sooooo frustrating...

Yea, the only way I'm getting the game is used or if I find a hefty discount.

I didn't buy Madden for two years, does that count?

They got my money this year though.

After playing Ncaa 10 2nite i realize this game won't hold me to the release of madden 10 Aug 14th. This game gets traded in when the madden demo releases June 23rd.

Overall its a good game for the kids to play with but not for the hardcore football fans. I hope Madden is as good as they have shown us and the hype behind it. I can't take another year of playing NFL 2k5 and Ncaa 06.

In this economy, my recession dollars have to get the most out of it. NewGen games are not cheap. From what I have been reading I would basically be paying for the same game last year with no groundbreaking upgrades. So I guess I'll wait up like I did before I got a PS2.

Please help make NCAA 11 the best game in the series by not settling for mediocrity.

As you know I've had negative opinions about aspects of the game this year, but as I play it, I've become more sold on it. I know that ChrisS is indeed a college football fan but I just don't know that he's a diehard sports gamer. I know that it's almost against the point of a review for each game to always be reviewed by somebody who (for instance) plays the game all year. It needs to be reviewed by a more casual gamer to some extent. Or at least, for each site, the process should be as consistent as possible.

Regardless, I thought it was funny that the final score of the review almost glossed over the fact that (most people will think) the gameplay is much, much better than before. And while the crowd chants don't exactly make the game for me, I think he greatly exaggerated how bad they are as well. So to dwell on the sound in saying that this is a 3/5 stars game, then sort of toss aside the gameplay giving it a bad review... I'm just not sure I agree with that. It's not outside the realm of possibility that this is a 3/5 game. But to say that, I hope Chris has played it a helluva lot more than I have. Because despite all the things I've noticed that I don't like, I'd easily give it a 4/5 so far

It's a pretty good game man.

I realize gameplay has been improved & thats very important. However, its not the only thing that makes for a good football game.. Everything else is still a joke - presentation, dynasty, equipment options, no form. subs, messed up rosters, the list goes on and on with 10. I'm surprised that he gave it an 8 to be honest.

Their priorities really need to change for NCAA 11 if they want to win fans back.
