End of Year Award

[J.R. Locke]

So I was thinking about all the sports games I played this year and inevitably I started to think about the disappointments. Being a sports gamer it just seems like a continual $60 payment for disappointment.

Anyway NCAA Football was by far the most lifeless, uninteresting sports game I have ever played. I rented the game recently (I traded it in shortly after I realized most of the MAC schools played in genero stadiums) and I couldn't finish one game on the second go round.

I don't mean to bash a game but this game is so far from being enjoyable that I really don't know where to begin.

Top 3 areas would be
1) Presentation
2) Playbooks
3) Coaching Strategy

This game continues to disappoint me. College football has the most wide ranging experience of a sports game. You could run wishbone or spread, 46 or a 3-5, throw 70 times a game or run 60 times a game....trying to find the athletes to fit into your system could provide hours of fun....but none of this core fundamental strategy exists in this game. You are not the coach, you can be a player (how did this feature get so stripped down). In

To top it all off the game isn't even immersing or aesthetically pleasing. It is the most dry, boring representation of a sport that is often seen to be the most intense, full of excitement sport we have in America.

Anyway this game gets my "most disappointing" award . Thoroughly disgusted and disappointed in this game....have been for years.

Just my rant. Where does NCAA rank as disappointing and why?
