Despite Flaws, NCAA 09 a Great Experience

[Perfect Zero]

Hey, I'm not the one blindly following what EA puts out there. I'm not the only one telling you that the defense is broken. This is a major problem, and EA either needs to

A) Fix it in a patch (hopefully before the year is over)
B) Give full refunds

It's that bad, and you know it. There is no way you should be able to get an average of 70% passes completed. I shouldn't have to sim the defense just to get realistic stats. I should be able to play the game without frills such as ice the kicker or quiz the qb.

But hey, if I wasted $60 on this game, I might want to defend it as much as possible too. Get rid of the buyer's guilt.

Didn't defend it. I said I had fun with the game. Then disputed your ridiculous claim about sacks and completion pct.

You don't like the game, great. Move on. Other people do enjoy the game, I am sorry not everyone has the same opinion you do. That's the beauty of a free country. We're all allowed to have opinions.

I do find it ironic someone who doesn't even have the game, is spending so much time in the NCAA forums, posting, and then telling others to get a life. But I guess it is what it is.

Why should they make games just for you sim players? I don't want total realism, and my money spends the same as yours, so why should you get your game but I shouldn't get mine?

You know, I love football. I love watching it, playing it, being a part of it. Yet, since the end of 2k5, I've wanted to play it on the console. Playing video game football means a lot to me, but since I only have one choice, I let my voice ring. EA is the only ones making football games now, and they have to know that this game is absolutely terrible when it comes to defense.

See, another beauty about this country is that you aren't the only one with an opinion. I have the right to tell you that you're wrong, and that this game does not play like football. I've played it for roughly five days, and that is enough to tell me that EA didn't care about the game, they just cared about the money in the end. Because of people like you, this trend will not stop.

I love football, and that's why I'm here. I feel the need to tell EA that they don't have a good game on the market, and I'm here to tell others to rent before buying.

What I do want is a game that lets you actually play defense. I want a game that produces realistic stats. I want a game that isn't broken and freezes for half the players. I'm not going to plop down $60 just to have a game with a football player on it.

If that's not what you want, then I'm here to tell you football ain't your sport.

Realistic this, realistic that. If you want realism, why don't you go try out for a real life squad? Or go into coaching or team management? Why play video games?

If other people are enjoying the game or having fun, why put them down with the blatant EA comments?

It sounds like, I'm right, and you all are wrong attitude.

Off line, I'm starting to have fun. I basically junked trying to stop everything, and just call the defensive play, make an adjustment or two, jump the snap, crash the pocket myself.

Believe it or not, this simple change started producing more of a game out of the CPU. Hurried throws, and an occasional attempt to stretch the field, plus lower blood pressure on my part.


Online, however? I cannot possibly see how anyone can classify that as fun.

Online is basically arena football, as you can only be one guy trying to cover the multiple wide open areas on the field.

I'm probably done with online until my online dynasty starts.
