Thought this went pretty well with the thread.

It's completely odd that we've been beaten down to the point that we don't even blink at this fact. If they suddenly took holding out of next years version, wouldn't you react? The free pass EA gets is just bizarre. They don't care. End of story.

I had my first one called all year in a game earlier today. And it was downright hilarious. Why? Because it was for interfering with a RB on a HB slip screen behind the line of scrimmage, where pass interference cannot be called.

I laughed so hard. My first and only DPI call in this game comes on a play where there cannot possibly be DPI. Oh EA, you make me chuckle.

The custom playbills are cool, but the formations save all out of order and audibles that should saved are don't show up. What the crap is EA doing? I think they are losing continuity with what the game is suppose to be about...FUN

Agreed. For the life of me, I can't figure out what game the people who scored this thing an 8.5 or higher were playing.

Great post in it's entirety, DJ. And this part of your post really stood out to me. About EA's games being close...but not completely there yet. By way of the things you mentioned.

And then having to expect issues [not an EA exclusive] can really add to the frustration.

I know this is an EA bitch fest but I'm loving NCAA 12. I do agree EA should address the community more though and let us know what's going on with issues such as freezing, while they are working on the patches. But man, some of you guys really take this stuff way too seriously.

The fact that the community takes it more seriously than the people who get paid to take it seriously is one of the primary problems.

+1 But you won't get an apology. It's been said before, but "they already have your money and don't care about anything else" This might be the last NCAA i get. There always seems to be a major bug that is discovered a week or two after the game is released. This year it's changing tendencies, last year it was progression. I'm getting really tired of all the little things, and getting a game that is not polished.

I was on the fence about madden, but for sure NOT GETTING IT NOW. I knew NCAA went wrong as soon as they introduced sliders. It's the developer saying, "we don't know what a real football game should play like, so you do it." It all seems to have gone downhill from there 3-4 years ago.

Different people work on Madden than NCAA Football. Madden was pretty good last year (pre patch) imo.
