Re: Many on NCAA Team Blindsided, Then Escorted Out of the Building

Yeah, wow. I understand that a lot of people didn't like NCAA, or preferred Madden to NCAA, but c'mon. The NCAA franchise was the primary reason I ever signed up for an Operation Sports account in the first place. I suspect I'm not alone in that regard.

The only silver lining here is that they made a pretty darn good game as their swan song, and it may end up having a NFL 2k5 "afterlife" due to the fact the college sports games are the ONLY sports games that effectively support that multi-year experience going forward with computer generated players. People are saying that they hope the series can come back with full customization, but not only is that not necessary, you could argue we already have it. I hope to keep playing NCAA 14 for years to come.

What, with a TeamBuilder mode that hasn't been touched for years?

Except that EA agreed to settle; it's nowhere near all on the NCAA. Now it may be that in reality EA had little choice, but as we know reality and public perception don't always mix.

I had a feeling when EA said they would not be making a NCAA football game next yr that we were SOL on a patch for this game. Juts like what they did to us with NCAA basketball there going to do with the this, and thats rid there hands of it and say screw you to us customers. Its the EA way and why I rarely buy any of their junk games anymore cause the big shots of EA are *******s. I rarely rip a dev cause they can only do what there bosses allow them to do, and why I always try to blame the guy at the top. I did buy NCAA football this year and its the best game they have put out in a long time, to bad we wont get a patch or will the devs be able to continue to improve the game.

Did they ever patch this game to begin with? (serious question)

Game development can be a cruel mistress.

I would be interested in the type of severance they got. I doubt it was nice.
