Let's change the tone...

Hey heres a great idea. If you don't like the game don't play it. Grab NCAA 11 or 10 or 04 or even Bill Walsh College Football. All this complaining isn't doing anything for you and its not making EA fix the game any faster.

Why was another of these threads necessary, if not to start an argument? does the OP think he gets some cred with EA for defending them? Do you?

I do and his post was quite ironic.

I get the feeling that next year if there's a glitch that disallows you from playing in your favorite teams home stadium, some ppl will say something like, "Well, it's really not that big-a-deal....I can go play in another teams stadium that looks similar. Not a gamebreaker...no game is perfect"

So if people are enjoying the game, its only because they are justifying their purchase?

The last paragraph is relevant how?

To the OP: My personal tone will change when the game doesn't take graphcial steps backwards or when the game doesn't look graphically inferior on one console vs. the other or when the game finally delivers the quality of gameplay and features that we enjoyed on the last-gen.

Until then, I don't bash the game, I just basically let my dollar do the voting by

a.) only buying it used
b.) returning it if it's not up to the standard i'm looking for (fun, quality).

Nothing wrong with that.

I agree, I mean it's not like EA patches the games or anything, why would they do something silly like that. And even if they did, why would they listen to a consumer about it? I mean seriously, what kind of company listens to a consumer. It's not like they buy the product or anything.

And most people post complaint threads to see if its them or the game imo, back in my day I did this a lot, just because I wanted to see if I needed to simply get better at the game, or if it was in fact a widespread problem. Sorry for wanting to discuss things on a discussion board.

So if NCAA 04 was released today, it would score a 12 out of 10? Seeing as it scored an 8.3 on Gamespot in 2004, I doubt it would get a 12... Or anything above a 4...


Also, to your last paragraph, if there was a glitch like that, set your favorite team to Akron.
