How is each car unique. If you buy the same model as someone else, it should be the same car. Yes there are optional additions which could very easily be compared to time savers. I was using it as an example of a sales model, not a quality model.

You guys can't compare a car to a video game, each car is unique. Two of us could go buy the same car built right after one another and have a uniquely different result. There are 100,000 components that go into each car made by various technologies with various levels of control and its the same for every OEM.

In general we all bought the same NCAA 12, they program the game and then copy it.

Not to mention, a car is a major purchase that is financed for most people. Its a relative investment. Comparing purchasing cars and video games isn't necessarily supporting a stance or building a platform to have a legitiment complaint. Does the purchaser have a claim to dispute the product this year? Perhaps. There is plenty of evidence that support such a claim. Unfortunately, based on the minimal individual investment by the individual consumer, EA has demonstrated that they aren't taking a proactive customer service, or public relations for lack of better words, on this issue.

Unfortunately, as the consumer, we are all held hostage until the patch actually dropped. Therefore, as the consumer, you have three choices: wait for the patch while continuing to play the game, wait for the patch and don't play the game, or return/sell the game and be finished with this particular series. Acting as if this incident will deter an extremely large and loyal fan base is beyond irrational. Whether right or wrong, EA has a monopoly on college football gaming. Therefore, there isn't the competitive element to produce a quality game and/or patch in an appropriate amount of time.

Buried in all the disappointment of needing a patch in itself and the long, drawn out wait, the bigger issue is why can't we see the emergence of a 2K product, or any other reputable brand, that keeps EA in check? That my fellow OSers is what this series truly needs...

Within the several hundreds of thousands of components that go into a car, each has its own process variation.

For the most part the guys that are selling the cars have very little to no knowledge of what is going into the cars other than the buzzwords they are given to sell with.

I honestly don't believe 2K can produce a viable football game on this generation. It's way too late to make a new engine with a new generation of systems coming out in the next five years. If anyone makes a true competitor it would be 505, and even then it would only be a competitor to Madden in the NFL department, it would be odd to see them leap from the generic football scene to college football. They have NM, and a basic (very basic) system in place to create a game, BB is a far cry from being a competitor to Tiburon in anyway, but if they could get the on the field game down properly I'm sure many would overlook a deep franchise mode. I'd put my money on 505, rather than 2K.

Also, I was saying as a concept, for a sale, not for a purchase and not for quality purposes. It was an elaboration on a previous subject, I know buying for a car is very different than buying a video game.

When should we expect the patch today?

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

If it was going to be out today it probably would've been out by now. I'd say up til noon EST is the cutoff?

This 'patch situation' has slowed my rate of play tremendously. As a LONG time player of this series (...going back to the Sega Bill Walsh days...), I can't ever remember not having mastered the game at this point. Because of the 'patch situation', I haven't really committed to the game yet. That is what stinks...

Member when u never had to worry about patches for video games because they made the game playable out of the case? Good times...

No. I really don't. I do remember a time before hard drives that you were stuck with every problem.

[jhogan3132]

Yeah this is really bad. I'm not on twitter, but I wonder if anyone has let them know that their "fix" didn't work at all

I sure did
