Unbelievable, more proof that Joe Gamer could care less about glitches. Game is selling like hot cakes.

Was anyone really expecting otherwise?

It's a good game. Like I said in another thread I see a B+ game right now that I could blink my eyes at and have it transformed into an A+ game if the patch support comes down the right way. It wouldn't take a whole lot for me.

YMMV

I love this game. Is it glitchy, absolutely, but it's not even football season yet and I am enjoying it.

Usually, people will cool off for a couple of weeks to a month and then once the football season starts up, people will be enjoying NCAA again.

Another patch or two won't hurt either.

That's not a fair understanding of what's going on. Gamers aren't always testing the game before buying. And even then, when I played the demo, I didn't see many of the issues I'm having now.

I'd chalk the sales up to how good NCAA 11 was. NCAA 12 is using momentum built from NCAA 11 and surging from there. That being said, the NCAA team seems more interested in promoting their game and talking about sales figures than they are addressing concerns with their customers.

That money goes towards the numerous failures that EA has going on. For every NCAA and Madden juggernaut, EA is hemorrhaging cash through failed titles.
