What is so bad about this game?

[jello1717]

While I love this game and think it's the 2nd best sports game I've ever played, it definitely has its issues. I know of them all and I still enjoy the game, but a lot of people don't. If you're having fun with it, I'd recommend that you adopt a "head in the sand" approach towards it. Even though OS users have a lot of very vocal opponents of the game, I'd bet that vast majority of people who play the game (most of which I'm sure don't peruse forums for the game) have a blast with it because they don't know of the issues others have with it.

While I have no problem enjoying it despite its known flaws, if you think these could sour you on the game, just don't read about the issues and have a blast with the game yourself.

Man...Thats always the silver lining logic with EA sports titles and fans of football are tired of it man. Its good for some but for folks who want to really play football, EA's claim to this being the best thing besides real saturdays is a lie and a travesty. A game that doesnt even have penalties or the animations to correspond to them is downright sad and its been that way since NCAA first came out on 360....so....5 years now and the fundamentals of football are still broken? Crowd still looks bad, stadiums are still wrong for many fans, players still look cartoonish and less liek they should...I mean just take the pads and legs for instance. It doesnt look right. I mena is it fun? Sure...but is dynasty worth your time...I would rather receive an unlubbed catheter. (hope that doesnt go against any rules) I dont know...so many issues but hey...it is better than last years I suppose.

Also, blocking schemes are extremely unrealistic. News flash EA, not everyone uses a man power scheme.

Basically, if you're looking for a quick, good time with your friends, it's a good game. However, if you're looking for a realistic, immersive, football experience, this isn't the game for you.

I'm a huge football fan from Northern Ireland and I don't want to buy Madden this year but I finally found a website that sells NCAA 12 to the UK for not that much so I bought it. My question to you guys is what is so bad about this game? I keep reading things about how the game is so bad. I played the demo and thought it was quite good, obviously there is room for improvement but it was still a good start.

Is it a perfect game? No. Is it worth a purchase? Certainly.

This is what I hate. I wanna play with Michigan but can't because it is damn near impossible to run a legit read-option in this game. To me, the run blocking in this game is pathetic. They continue to not make this realistic. Linebackers know exactly when I am going to run the ball and Olinemen let go of there blocks constantly. It really is pathetic

To me, NCAA 11 was better. And better than them all were the NCAA games on the PS2.
