I've watched thousands of football games and have NEVER seen anything like that at any level... Video two had the RB run right through 5 dudes on the sideline while none of the defenders attempted a dive, tackle, trip, fall, grab...nothing... just running like robot guys. Maybe the AI was set on "idiot" and if you crank it up it may make a difference...but judging from those videos....YUK!!!!!!!!!!

Come to think of it, those videos (specifically the AI) remind me of the game "Football" for the atari 2600....that's what comes to mind when I watch that. Or that handheld football game with the little red dot where you button mash the run button and run around other little red dots.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel that this roster crash isn't as prevalent as originally thought. It seems like if you use CDJ's roster, it is going to crash sure. He tells me he hasn't crashed in 3 days. If you use Patsa's, there is something wrong with his. But a ton of people are posting in these threads that don't have the game declaring it is ruined.

I agree with a lot of the points made like the qb's be ridiculosly accurate passers and the pass rush is a issue that they could fix with a patch

Which is just stupid. I mean, the game is still NCAA Football, even if you don't have named rosters. I hate how people deem this game totaled without even it a chance themselves.

Except there is still other problems that annoy the hell out of people who like to edit rosters...like the Depth Chart reseting....and not being able to change arm build because its broken.

This many things should not be broken year in year out...and some of the attempts to minimize this are just as bad as the people who come on and post "see 2ks Better".

I just hope this patch comes out very...very..soon. This place will explode if this isn't fixed until late Nov

Ditto...those moves looks 100% unrealistic. He looked like he was running on ice skates.

The opponent is FCS East. Pretty much the same as AI on idiot.

Look at Marion Barbers run vs New England last year. Way more ridiculous than that. Things like that do happen in real football, we just seem to forget sometimes.
