NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate?!

It's funny how this article portrays the developers as doing us a favor.

Oh gee, thanks.

**** that **** man, we're helping them! For free no less.

If only consumers knew the power they hold... Things would be a lot different. Instead they continue to fall victim to all that's cast.

Video games and exclusive licenses must be a great business to get into, could you imagine selling broken cars, refridgerators, stoves, or girl scout cookies. And telling the customer that you are working on it. When you get them home just hook them up to the internet and you can download a patch, when we get one done. Thank you for your money, oh and don't forget to come back next year and we will sell you another broken item. What? You dont like that, oh we are sorry but we are the only company who has the license to produce that product. Have a nice day, don't forget we have a couple guys on message boards who will answer questions for you.

Preach on, brother!

Re: NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate

what a bad start for 09 fball games on OS for EA. I appreciate that OMT longs on and answers questions. Pretty crazy considering he gets asked things that are out of his department but you have to know that his company is a magnet for criticism, some warranted, some not.

EA is a freaking joke. A corporate entity if there ever was one. Worried only about their profit and loss statements. As if charging $60 every year for a buggy, recycled, non-innovating game weren't enough, now they've taken to the practice of filling their games with product placement like Coca Cola or Old Spice or Under Armour or Preparation H. "Greed! Greed! $$$$$ More! More! We want more! $$$$$ !"
How you sheep continue to dish out your hard earned money to these charlatans just baffles me. And now you're giving this company kudos because they send some lackey to go onto some message board and say "We're going to realease some patch one of these days".

lol. you should play an Ubi Soft game. you never see product placement as bad in games like theirs. every car/truck/van is a Dodge, movie ads everywhere, etc.... EA is not the only one that does this you know. every company is out for profit, its dumb not to, they wouldn't be a business if they didn't.

Re: NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate

Alright if you have stepped up to the plate now get a hit. Patch some of these issues that are holding a great game back. I am saying to rush out a patch, just make sure you get one done that corrects some of these glaring issues, hopefully before September.

Haha, so true.

Hey, genius: Ubi doesn't come out with a Rainbow 6 game every year, do they? And when they do make a new one, they have to build new levels, new environments, new music, etc. It's a new game. Not like EA's recycled football games that have the same stadiums, same commentary, same player models, same everything. So if Ubi wants to make a little extra money out of product placement, that's alright by me because they're actually working for it. Besides, their product placement is integrated into the game, such as a Dodge Ram sitting on the street for you to blow up. They don't say "This game is brought to you by Dodge: Moving Forward" like EA does with their Coke or Old Spice ads.

It's not surprising to me that a simple minded fool like you would counter my previous post with your predictably feeble "They're a company that looks to make a profit". A person with an intelligence quotient higher than that of a walnut would know that there are degrees to things. Hence, you can have a hospital that can turn a nice profit while still taking good care of its patients. You can have a game company that makes a nice profit while still keeping their main focus on great game innovation and fresh ideas instead of their main focus being their marketing campaigns and their stock price.

Until you become a less stupid person than you currently are, feel free to avoid addressing me any further.

Re: NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate

I agree 100% vic.

OS used to be about the community. Now they're filters for EA. Having developers here increases their traffic, the more traffic here, the more advertising revenue they make.

In 2008 most company's have "community managers" that interact with consumers on mediums such as blogs and message boards.

It would be incredibly stupid for a company to not take advantage of the power that is web 2.0. We're in era that makes it incredibly easy for a business to learn about, and converse with their customers.

EA coming here to "talk to us, and listen to us" is something they should've been doing for years. And they're not doing us a favor, we're here providing them extensive reports on bugs, glitches, and ideas to increase the value of their product.

As a community we should be thanked.

Re: NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate

can they make a patch for the ball not rotating when you pass?

Don't know what you're referring to. The ball spins everytime I pass it and then review in Slo mo.

Re: NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate

Articles you really wish you could see from OS:


NCAA Designers: Why did you stay in the batters box the past 11 months?

NCAA Features: If it's lost you can look but we ran out of time. Time after time, time after time.

Re: NCAA Designers Step Up to the Plate

This series has been on next gen for .. what ? 3-4 year now. The fact that there are features on old gen, that aren't in next-gen is freaking ridiculous. And the "time" excuse is a joke.
