NCAA 12 may be the first one I buy used months later.

Tackling has been improved, Zone Defense, Defense in General, Player movement, A HUGE overall of RTG, and a great new outlook on Dynasty.

its not EA getting back at us its them getting back at gamestop and places like that. They don't like the option of consumers buying their games selling them at lower price or trading games in a different value. Its in court now.

Patches (especially for sports games) are based on user feedback, fans with no connection to the production of the game will find things that people working on the game won't (its like this for all of the gaming industry, if it wasn't patches would not be a thing). And they usually have a patch on the day the game is released (which is actually about a month after the game you purchase was finalized). They finalize the demo in early May, and the game in early June (this is part of the approval/shipping process), odds are they have already adjusted most of the things people report are off in the demo, and are hard at work preparing the patch to correct what they found needing in the final cut of the game.

Finally someone who knows a little something about the gaming industry. It's not as cut and dry as many of you guys that complain think. (And I'm in no way reacting to any single person.) I use to think the same thing until I went to college for computer programming and realized how much work and how tedious it was just to fix one line of code on a simple java platform.

Offline dynasty is where I spend 95% of my NCAA time. It's not that I think NCAA12 looks bad or anything, but I'm just not seeing $65 worth of new content so far.

The game is $59.99, the other $5 is your states' tax.
I dont know know how you see that you're not paying for "improvements" CC alone is huge and they completely re-did RTG so its playable. by thats my .02

If people are unsure about the game, its good if they wait for patches and/or a price drop. Its lessens the chance that they will come here and rant about EA "ripping them off"

This might be the best NCAA Football game EA has made to date. Count me in as someone who will be buying it the day it is released.
