From what I seen, EA's approach this year is to wait to get feed back from the masses before they release their 1st patch. That way they can fit more things in it. Where as in the past, their patch was already submitted and approved before the masses were even able to play the full game.

So then the things the masses really wanted to get fixed got pushed back to patch 2, 3 and 4.

I like this year's approach better. Collect data from the masses FIRST then work on the patch.

all i got to say is that when they do patch this game they better get it right , and then some... maybe give us some free dlc...they better not break anything else like previous years patches...because if they fix one thing and break another and not get this patch correct i will never buy this game again

We're already asking about patches?

It's not perfect, but I think it plays 1000 times better than 12 and is up there with 11 so far.

Far worth the $45

So if you have this game and start a franchise, and then a patch is released...will the patch affect your franchise? Like would you see the gameplay changes?

That approach is a step in the right direction, I'm a fan of it as well. Hoping that means there's a higher likeliness we, even though the hardcore section of the community, get our wants and needs taken more highly considered not only just in patches, but future installments of the game. Especially when we back some of these needs/wants up with some real data and extensive testing done by guys like yourself (with the likes of Play Recognition effecting PA among other things.)

I really would like to sit a year out from NCAA, but I'm not sure that can happen. Part of me just has so much blind hope that EA will finally get it all right. I don't know if I can ever be pleasently surprised if I keep buying year in and year out anymore.
