Would you buy a game with excellent gameplay but poor graphics?

Re: Would you buy a game with excellent gameplay but poor graphics?

The only football games I've played in the past 3 months have been NFL 2K5, NCAA Football 07, and APF 2K8. Soooooooo............. Yes. I do not agree with everyone in this thread, but hopefully these kinds of threads are what developers of other games will see. These are all valid points from consumers who "mostly" say that gameplay is the core issue, but still need good graphics. I feel like this is a great guage for any other company looking into making an NCAA football game.

I wouldn't pay for either. This is 2012, i didn't buy a PS3 for PS1 graphics and a game with crappy gameplay won't get much play from me so neither.

This is exactly the point of this thread. It is to at least serve as a starting point for a prospective developer, so that if competition were to begin against EA, the new developer could make a decision which would be more important to "get right" on the first try. Start with **** graphics but perfect gameplay, or start with amazing graphics and **** gameplay (which was the approach NASCAR the Game took and along with unforseen turns, ended in complete disaster).

I recognize that this thread doesnt directly apply to NCAA 13, and for that any movement of this thread is fine by me. However, what this thread does apply to is the direction a plausable comeptitor could go, meanwhile EA could also take advantage of this thread (albeit unlikely since this thread was started by a rookie--me). I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but again, I wanted to see how the community would respond should a competitor step into the market, gauging what direction the community would like to see in a rival game to EA.
