What kills me is that when the praise flows and is deserving, no one's calling for people to stay level headed. A week ago NCAA 360 was being mentioned as the greatest football game ever; now people are realizing it's far from it. It goes both ways. It's not like people are sitting here complaining about every little detail, as people do with the baseball games. This is my opinion, but to me Tiburon is getting things I'd consider basic for a football game really wrong - and that's concerning because there is no other choice for an NFL football game. I'd expect that if I go to Maddenmania or Maddennation, they'd want to accentuate the positive about the game - so a lot of times frank discussions just aren't going to to occur there. Is that how OS should be?

I make it a point to always phrase my posts so they don't come across as trolling. I never violate the TOS, however people do it regularly when responding to my posts because for some reason they become so emotionally invested, yet they don't even get a warning.

I don't call people names nor do I flame someone for having their opinion...it's shame that's not a two way street.

Like I said before, do you think I wanted to NOT like the 360 version? DO you thing I planned this so I could stir up the OS forums? The game just doesn't feel right to me...I have stated this many times, but instead of respecting my opinion, I get blasted because I'm crying about missing features and crap like that. My whole beef with the game is it just doesn't feel right to me, nothing more.

I've even asked a few of the more civil posters to post what makes it so great because I thought I might be missing something, but I guess they're so busy slobbering over the spiffy graphics that they can't possible put two coherent sentences together.

Aholbert....Truthfully noone is really trying to troll. IF me or spank posted or opinions it was full of valid statements.

Just to keep it short....We want to see better off these next gen systems. No reason at all..I MEAN NO REASON AT ALL that the Defensive playmaker is left out the game for year #2. Things like that.

That's exactly what it's like around here, despite people giving extensive background on why they feel the way they feel. What's worse is it's open season on all who are not ecstatic about the game. You can call them names and all. But post more than once about a sub par aspect of the game and you chance a ban.

I watched the vids, but I'll keep my impressions to myself. The DANI(Defenders Against Negative Impressions) are out in full force.

Why dont you & other mods take your own advise and just skip over the post that you consider bitching & moaning. When you bitch & moan over the repetitive post like we do about issues not fixed in this series for years & years. Dont worry about why we buy the game with our hard earned money, it really self explanatory...We love footbal. It shouldnt be considered trolling if someone has a gripe about something that is obviously true. Yall kill me with the one sided policing yall do on this board sometimes. No ones trying to flame the thread but when others dont respect someone person opinion its called trollin & yall step in against the wrong person.

So who in this thread got called a name solely for negatvie comments on the game?

I don't think people have problems with legit concerns. It's the the people who are desperately looking for something to complain about that get it around here. And you know exactly who I Am talking about.

The bottomline, it's a big internet, you don't like our forums, I am sure there are other places for you to go.

This was the post that Badgun made that originally stirred up so much trouble.

Let me know where you see the gripe that is obviously true or even legitimate.
