Once things are finalized, Adam may tell us what will get patched. But until then, they probably won't use these forums as a diary that captures what happend and what was discussed in the office on a day-to-day basis.

Exactly. We can go to fix something and see an "oh noes!" and revert the fix. So I can't say what is being fixed and what isn't until the patch is complete. And even then, it might come back to us and we have to change other stuff. I just don't want to give any bad info.

And I won't say "we are looking at this bug" because then it will get spread around that I said we will be fixing a certain bug in the next patch.

He should have just went back to 08 without the thread stating he was going back to 08. This thread should be closed.

Why are there 500 threads about how dissapointed people are with the game? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DISSAPOINTED WITH THE GAME!! OS and its posters can like it or not, but I am, like hundreds of others, on this board to read the opinions, both good and bad, of NCAA 09. It is not stupid, its THEIR OPINION. The people who Like the game know its flawed, but what about us who waited to purchase the game for this exact reason?? I don't know the problems with the game, that is why I am on a Videogame Forum. IF OS started closing every thread that is voicing nothing more than a persons opinion of the product, people would simply stop coming. I Promise you that.

Not necessarily.

Last year, OS had a thread titled, Everything You Have a Problem with Madden thread.

The last NCAA game I really enjoyed. I played 10 seasons worth ofynasty mode at least, in each of those games.

Good times.

Part of the beauty of the Wii, is that I can revist all of my old school sports titles that I cant play on my 360.

I highly disagree here OMT. Looking at a bug is wayyy different than fixing a bug. If you ATLEAST admit that this bug or part of the game is not working correctly. Atleast it shows you all are aware of it. But having a issue and hand not given any info what so ever if it is getting looked at or not does nothing for the community.

Like the pursuit issue I have been trying for a while now you to answer if you all are looking into it. That is a honest question, and I think we as a community have had to put up with enough all ready with this buggy release and some honesty on these gameplay areas is not to much to ask.

I mean we are the consumers, we paid our hard earned money on something that does not work as intended.

No need to get on OMT, he is a voice and can easily be misinterperated which is what he is trying to avoid. Makes perfect sense.

On the other hand, I have been monitoring this board frequently to gather opinions of this release. So I must admit I find it disturbing that any company has to rely on its consumers to help resolve issues. Facts are:

a) a product was released incomplete
b) consumer base is being used for QA

Q - will consumers who have worked to resolve issues be compensated by EA for their efforts?

What I do not believe EA/Tiburon understand is that although there may not be competition within the Sports/Football videogame market there is overall competition for consumer's entertainment $. Meaning - if you do not like the game take the $60 and either buy another game or do something else worth while with it. Take your GF or wife out for dinner, go see a movie or whatever. The only way EA/Tiburon will start to comprehend is if you stop buying their incomplete products.
