well lets see...
The community asked for teambuilder...its in. The community notices through teambuilder website that the rosters are screwed up. We report here on the boards/forums, the devs see it and the problem is solved.
The community is watching videos that are put on the forums by the owner of the site, notices the pass rush/sliders aren't working as they should. The devs see the same video, notice the same thing and are now looking to remedy the situation.
Again, it seems that the devs being on the boards is paying dividends. I know, people are going to point to other aspects that they feel are shortcoming and say, well they haven't fixed this/that...., but if they weren't on the forums, what are the chances that the rosters, pass rush, or sliders are addressed at all, PRIOR to the game being released?
If a patch is released on launch day that addresses the sliders and other aspects, is it really that big of a deal? Shouldn't this be what we want? Issues spotted before the game releases and can be addressed via patch before the game launches.
No, everything we've asked for isn't in the game, and I'm as disappointed as the next guy..but to act as though as nothing positive is coming out of the devs being on the boards is ridiculous.
And no, the game isn't broken. If we are going to call bugs/glitches/flaws a broken a game, then there isn't a single game that has been released, nor that will ever be released that isn't "broken".

And everything you have said points to what I said. These sites are more beneficial to the developers than the developers are to this site. They are using people here as Beta Tester.
I am OK that we agree to disagree. You see EA NCAA with the glass half full and I see it as the glass half empty.
I will add this... They shipped a broken game last year. Sliders didn't work, the game needed a patch before it was released, OL/DL interaction was broken, stats were broken, games against the CPU were broken because the AI was broken. What more do you need for that to qualify for a broken game? Had this been any other industry EA would have lost thousands of dollars in refunds.
This years game is being shipped broken. Because of the rosters not being correct people that play online exclusively will be purchasing a broken game. Sliders still don't work, stats are still broke, OL/DL interaction is still broke. This to me qualifies as a broken game.
The past two year have been inexcuseable. It is much different than someone being able to jump into a rock on a FPS.
I have a buddy that play NCAA exclusively. He hasn't played NCAA since early 2008 and the game was so bad he traded it in. He didn't buy 2009 this year. He rented it last week. At the same time he downloaded 10. His comment to me "These games are garbage. They haven't done much since the 2008 game."
There is fantasy and reality. The reality is that NCAA is broken. While playable for some, it is broken to most.
