Whats the big deal with next gen??

[beardofspock]

Most of the people that make these type posts can't afford a next gen console, and seem to need to defend it by talking up how awesome their ps2/xbox is, well, it's not all that, sorry.

Anybody on the next gen who says the new games can't compete with the last gen games clearly hasn't played a last gen sports game in a while. I recently popped both NCAA 06 and NFL2K5 into my old xbox recently for shats & giggles and let's just say I won't be going there again. The next gen has trumped the last gen.

LOL, you're such a EA suck up it's ridiculous. Both of those games on last gen take a royal dump on NCAA 09 and every other next gen football product EA has put out.

Yeah there must be some new rules in college football this year... The defender who gets closes to the player with the ball with out trying to tackle him gets a free tote bag!

the best thing about Next Gen to me is Online Play.

I know it existed in the legacy gen, but I didn't utilize it until now. I'm not as much of a gamer as I used to be. Competition is a drug to me, so ALL I do in video games is play online or against friends. i don't play the 1 player mode of ANY game anymore.

Football games have not benefited. I think FPS have benefited the most, although they are basically the same.

Lol, funny. It's so easy to call people who disagree with you fan boys right? These kinds of posts make it even easier.

Personally I like this gen for everything except sports games. Paying $60 for a game where sliders don't work, rosters don't work, and freezing issues is getting a little frustrating. I'm tired of coming on these boards with a developer who mentions nothing about these problems, I know he's got to hold the company line and may have not known about these issues before hand but I'm tired of this crap getting pushed out when things don't work. I appreciate OMT atleast coming here and I'm not bashing him, just a little tired of paying for something that doesn't work as advertised, imho.

There is no need to berate us Haters we are just venting and trying to get the word out that the game is below avg. so MAYBE things could get fixed. And we all "get it," EA got the NCAA official license, now they have no competition, so they make cheap games and sell them for 60+$. If we all speak up maybe we can get change but, if we have goob's harshing our on our COLLEGE FOOTBALL and other sports, then the million dollar corp will just keep ripping off the little guy. Lastly the collective IQ on the site would be high if it weren't for the stress clouding our judgement

A video game is a source of stress for you? I think you take video games a bit too seriously if that's the case. Let me know when you grow up and venture out into the real world with rent, bills, family, and career to worry about. Then you'll see what stress is all about.
