3 things that will make you NOT buy this game next year?

What are the main 3 things that will more than likely not make you not buy this game next year IF they are not fixed?

1. I need my defensive control back. Yeah we all saw in real like how QB's ate up defenses this year for an insane amount of yards, BUT that doesnt mean that on this game my defensive players must move like molasses and have the awareness of a 2 year old. I would like to be able to play great defense if I have a great defensive team.

2. I need to see endzone art in bowl games. No excuses about how hard it is to implement. You did it in previous years on PS2, and STILL do it now for PS2. There no point in me playing in a bowl game when there is no atmosphere there. Even just adding team names in the end zone goes a long way.

3. More plays. This is college football where tons of different playbooks exist and yet we get the same thing every year.

Honorable mention: Allow us to assign formation subs. If I have two stud HB's, I want to see them both get equal playing time without having to manually use HB Spell everytime of make depth chart changes.

I'm sure others have more pressing issues, but these are just mine.

Probably nothing, but there is one that COULD be a deal breaker.

-Not being able to import an online dynasty

absolutely nothing, I love college football too much.

create-a-team is cool, but it is not going to prevent me from buying the game

Re: 3 things that will make you NOT buy this game next year?

Not necessarily in order, but:

1. No FCS teams/Create-a-School AGAIN

2. Only marginal improvements to gameplay

3. No effort at all to increase the overall presentation/college football feel of the game. I get so damn bored playing EA games lately, just so disconnected with whats going on, nothing happening to suck me in and make it feel real.

Re: 3 things that will make you NOT buy this game next year?

I would like to see more plays as well, I hate seeing the same plays in every playbook.

I would also like to see a coaching carousel or something along those lines, instead of just having generic coaches the entire length of the dynasty. I want to see some big improvements in the coaching area in dynasty.

Recruiting, you can never get too in depth about it. They can improve it much more.

Lastly, defense awareness and defense speed needs to increase. Just my last game as virginia, I was playing against Maryland, they ran a toss to the left. All my guys got blocked except my corner, do you wanna know what he was doing though? Backpedaling. Along with that, I hate seeing my safeties and linebackers just getting lost when the runningbacks run their routes.

Playbooks.

I'm tired of seeing the exact same plays in EVERY playbook.

Re: 3 things that will make you NOT buy this game next year?

If there aren't SEVERE improvements to all areas of AI and Computer logic.

There is a laundry list of issues that we all know.

Complete destruction of all things defense:
-horrible pursuit angles
-Safeties standing straight up and doing nothing while a RB takes off
-Zero pass rush/ D linemen getting in that stupid "lock up" animation for hours or getting knocked on their butt every play
-Neutered Blitz packages

Players having All American seasons...then transferring to Western Kentucky.

Messed up schedule generation as well as the annoying trend of the CPU putting games in a stupid order...i.e. having Auburn play 2 games AFTER the Iron Bowl or Georgia playing 2 games after playing Georgia Tech.

Dumb CPU playcalling (QB read option plays over and over with 60 speed QBs on 3rd and 9, running a screen play 3 times in a row, etc.)

Dumb CPU QB logic- Cover the RB on a screen play and watch as the CPU QB goes ********, rolls out all the way to the sideline...then still throws the ball to the triple covered RB.


EA really screwed up every possible section of NCAA 2009 and there is no way to excuse it. They know it too.
