What We Take For Granted

Give it a chance before you write it off as a busted game and look forward to next year. Before you guys come on here and complain, take a look at these photos: Look at the last one. Their "BIG" new features are Windowless Passing Mode and a whole 36 new plays.... All I am trying to say is we should all be thankful for what all they CAN put into a college football game these days, rather than griping and whining about such things as not seeing enough Punt Return TDs and worrying that a stripe on a uniform is 3 centimeters too far to the right.... Ok. I'm done now.

LOL, I almost bought this yesterday, but got college football 96 instead, haven't played it yet though, because of you know what.

Fine line between being grateful & constructive criticism. Step over that line and youre a "fanboy" or "whiner". Ill stop there.

Those games couldn't be patched. Once you bought it, you were stuck with it, crappy or not. That's just one reason why gaming magazines/rental places were as popular as they were, but I'm getting off topic. I'm 24 now, but I would have killed for something like this when I was 10-12 years old. I'd laugh if EA just said, "nah, we're not going to release NCAA next year, too many complaints." Some people act like they're entitled to everything. No one forced you to spend $60. No one forced you to buy it when you could have just as well rented it. If you bought on release day and are now disappointed, be disappointed in yourself for being an uniformed buyer. I, on the other hand, bought before release day, and I couldn't be having more fun with this year's game. To each their own. I know some people aren't happy, but no one should act like anyone was robbed of their money here. That's pretty dumb if you ask me.

I suspect that a lot of board members have never been on a $60 date. You hear the way some of them whine? They need some love.

Oh My God! I hated that... it was the worst thing to be in the middle of a game and then have it freeze... I'd be so mad when I would have to blow in the cartridge.

I am not that old, only thing i remember having to blow in is 64 games(and game boy). How many people had to buy another super Nintendo becuase the first one broke?

That's one thing about this forum. Even if the criticism is well stated and constructive, someone will catch feelings and personally attack the poster. Some of these problems were indeed in NCAA 11. The game can be very fun once adjusted...but for now it can be frustrating. I took for granted the competition provided by other developers.

Sorry about that...but I think you may get a few more.

Did EA put a gun to your head and make you buy the game? If you have the same complaints for many years then why keep buying it. You think pitching on a forum will get it fix eventhough you have been filling EA's bank account every year.

Nobody is going to take you serious if you say EA takes me for granted but you still buy every year. I love football but if I felt like you I would speak with my money and not my keyboard. Or perhaps you feel that EA is reading your tantrums while counting the hundreds you spent over the years. If I was EA I would not take you serious if I always disappoint you but you still buy my product. Is not food or rent, is a video game.
