actually whats pathetic is people feeling the need to make those who purchase the game feel bad for doing so.
People buying the game isn't the issue. Devs who love a sport and decide to go into the occupation of making a video game of that sport, should care enough to make it the best representation of said sport given their resources.
And I'm willing to bet that there are far more casual sports gamers out there than hardcore. And I say that because I don't believe that a vast majority of the purchasers of this game, would refuse to purchase due to OL/DL interaction not being realistic enough, formation subs being omitted, or a feature they won't use being in the game.
Most people, I would say, purchase this game because its a college football game that does a pretty good job of representing the sport in terms of teams, bowls, a dynasty mode, online dynasty, online rankings, and a fairly fun game to boot. Maybe it doesn't have all the x's and o's pinpointed, but thats not going to stop the vast majority of fans of the series, from purchasing the title year in and year out.

I wasn't trying to make the person feel bad or insult him, so I apologize if that's how I came off. I personally just can't understand how someone can constantly complain about a product (with due justification), point all of the things wrong with the product/company and yet, still go out to buy said product. It just does not make any sense to me at all. Also, what you guys fail to understand is that the developers don't owe you a thing. They are just part of another big corporation that is out to make money. I know this, and you this, yet people continue to reward them. Why do you think that the NCAA devs have been all but invisible on these forums? There is no reason to change things when people will still go out and buy it. And yeah, I agree with you - the vast majority who buy these football games don't care about realistic football. The sim crowd is in the minority, and even most of THEM will still buy the games! Why would EA change anything? You are being naive if you think these people care more about pleasing some random guy on a forum than meeting their quotas and filling their pockets. I myself have no real qualms with the game, and I plan on renting it. I just don't get this whole love/hate relationship people have with EA every year, when they know they're gonna but their products and keep on feedin' em.
