Would you buy a game with excellent gameplay but poor graphics?

In this day and age graphics should be good no matter what.

We all want good graphics, but if the game is unplayable I can only drool in the instant replay mode for so long. All-pro Football 2K8 is my favorite football game on the current consoles, I still play and love it. The animations and physics of that game are WAY ahead of anything the EA has put together. I know that game doesn't look as good, but 2K doesn't have the money that EA has. If 2K would dive into college football (which I pray that they do) I would support that game because I know after they gain money from that franchise it can become what the NBA 2k series has become, amazing.
The current NCAA games look amazing, but they have empty, useless game modes (mascot games, RTG, Heisman Challege) and gimmicks. I want a game that feels like football and not a bunch of robot players sliding around on an ice field like EA football games (and if you disagree with that play APF 2K8 and then tell me the EA players aren't sliding around).

PLEASE 2K COME BACK TO FOOTBALL.

Exactly my feelings on this. Gameplay is the most important aspect but it the game can't keep up visually its a no buy for me.

Poor graphics is a no go for me no matter how good the gameplay may be

Yes if it were licensed but it would have to be at a discounted price.

Not just yes but h.e.-double hockey sticks yes, We have already done it & bad graphics won't mean ps1 we are so far ahead of that!!! Perfect game play with online leagues, I could only imagine!!!!!

I bought that game, it's called All-Pro Football.

OK, the graphics aren't "PS1" bad and I wouldn't describe the gameplay as "near perfect" (although it is very good), but you get the point. I can easily sacrifice graphics for good gameplay.

The only football games I've played in the past 3 months have been NFL 2K5, NCAA Football 07, and APF 2K8. Soooooooo............. Yes. I do not agree with everyone in this thread, but hopefully these kinds of threads are what developers of other games will see. These are all valid points from consumers who "mostly" say that gameplay is the core issue, but still need good graphics. I feel like this is a great guage for any other company looking into making an NCAA football game.
