NCAA Football 13: What do we and don't we know?

Re: NCAA Football 13: What do we and don't we know?

I've faithfully bought both NCAA and Madden every year for over a decade. This will be the first year I buy neither of them. I've been duped one too many times.

Good post. Very insightful.

What I DO know is that EA continues to put out garbage, year in and year out. And OS will, despite all its "polls" in which they suggest the voice of the sports video gaming community IS the OS community, continue to do whatever is necessary to bring in the almighty dollars for the site by promoting EA's garbage with seeming disregard for anything the OS community has to say.

What I DON'T know is how on Earth EA hasn't been hammered with class suits to date. All those "I've been buying all of EA's crap for decades, and THIS time they ain't going to (snicker) get my money!!!!!" types are nowhere to be found.

very disappointed in losing the ability to import the draft classes....that being said, the classes that were coming into madden were very flawed....so if they are taking this away to fix it, and implement it with more accuracy...that i can live with....but please lets not start going backwards in sports games....

ps...bring back the spring game!!!!

That's pure fandom and naivety if I ever saw it. Good luck with that thought process.

It's hilarious how far this statement is from the truth.

No, he's right the import issue is going to doom the game, instead of selling right around 1.6 million units like it does every year, it's probably going to plummet down to 1.57 million units.

That's not how I took that statement...thought it was a good post, and can only hope that's the case. Do I believe it's the case? Maybe. If it's something on Madden's end that they are changing/improving and is still being developed, making importing draft classes impossible this year, then that's something I'll have to accept. I just wish they would be accountable and offer up honest explanations for things they continually leave out or take away altogether.

From what I see, I know white uniforms won't be getting dirty.

I have been playing Madden and NCAA from day one. The fact that you can't import draft clasess really takes away from both games. Its sad that they are trying to improve the game and they do something so stupid !!

"We know that importing draft classes from NCAA to Madden isn’t going to be possible this year, so for all those gamers who claim to buy or rent NCAA only to create the draft classes – don’t bother. We know this feature is gone, but what we don’t know is if anyone will miss it".

Wow really? Working hard to keep that featured communities aren't ya OS? You're not sure anybody will miss it? I'm guessing by that statement, you haven't been reading the responses on your own site, or pasta's, or EA's or youtube. Importing classes is HUGE and will be sorely missed by a ton of people.

In fact there a decent number of people who won't buy either now, me included. I know EA doesn't care about how important it was to fans, but you don't have to just co-sign any talking point they put out just to keep your featured community status. C'mon Son!!!!!

Its was a open question to sparq conversation and debate. You ever read a article before? C'mon kid

Re: NCAA Football 13: What do we and don't we know?

I'm still going to buy the game but I was pretty bummed out that we couldn't import draft classes this year.

Ugh. Draft class importing is the most appealing feature of NCAA. Now my sleeper recruit 4 years later, who's turned into a 90 ovr, and won the Heisman - we'll never know what happened to him at the end of his college career. Where he was drafted...whether he was a bust in the combine or not.

Sad

I agree with all of that, draft classes were a huge thing to make NCAA dynasty, and Madden franchise feel like the total package. Hell, in NCAA, I would try and convince players to stay, not because I wanted them to, but so I had an accurate draft class.

[nightcreeper]

even tho im still gonna buy the game this year i would have to say im SERIOUSLY pissed about not being able to import players into Madden this year

[comen]

I wish they would do some kind of reality show on the making of Madden/Ncaa, just to see these meatballs in action!! I mean do they sit in a room and take a vote on whether or not to remove key features in these games?? EA, " its not in the game anymore" lol!

I'm well aware of what the lame attempt intended to to but the problem is that only makes sense if there was the possibility that no none would miss it. With it being such a huge feature for well over a decade there is no need to ask that question for debate purposes when the answer is obviously yes people (lots of them) will miss it

That's like saying" You've lost your leg in an accident, we all know that, but the question is will you miss it". You can say thats an extreme comparison but the fact is they are similar in that the answer is so overwhelmingly obvious that there was no need to pose the question to begin with without being a troll.

If you can't import to Madden then I will not be purchasing. Its half the fun of Madden is building up sorry franchises. ANother reason why EA should give up the rights to College Football.
F&%K EA SPORTS... Your developers really are ******s!!!!

Re: NCAA Football 13: What do we and don't we know?

The importing kills Madden for me, but not as much NCAA. I did enjoy watching my players and rival school players at the next level, but in no way does it hurt the NCAA series at all for me just makes Madden completely irrelevant

[k9nike]

I have to agree with the comment " the developers are really *****!!!! " My question is do they ever listen to their customers. I have been importing draft classes for years. Its made me create from the top 100 scout list and see them go from incoming freshman to Madden. I realize that alot of people play online, but dam lets not screw up all of the franshise modes. Some people still enjoy taking bad teams and building them up through the draft. Its ashame the Draft class will be awful.
