No.

This thread is hilarious, but here's what worries me: I am worried that this is all talk and the sales figures will still be very high and nothing will change for NCAA '11.


Hopefully us @ OS are not the only ones passing on this year's game. Hopefully all of you are actually following through with your decision to not buy the game. Bc if this game comes out and the sales figures are high, then why would they improve?

So let's ACTUALLY boycott the game and not give them a dime and see what happens. Peter Moore will wake up pretty quickly if he has another quarter like he did @ the end of 08. It was brutal.

I am interested to see the sales figures on this game. The sad thing is, after hearing about the broken aspects of this game and playing the demo, I am more interested in the (lack of) sales for this year more than any feature or anything about the game. Really a shame bc I LOVE college football. I'd rather spend $60 on a hot date that i might actually ENJOY, unlike this, lol.

Madden seems so far away now...

Funny thing is I remember when NCAA '08 came out and after playing it for a few months I started thinking to myself that it wouldn't be until NCAA 2011 that I could really start to enjoy playing the game. I was like "okay,it's EA they'll fix it by 2011. I just got to be REALLY patient."

I've bought every NCAA since 2002,even the 360 versions even though I knew after '06 they weren't gonna be any good. I have NCAA 10 on reserve at Gamestop. I know this game is not gonna be as good as it could or atleast should but it's the only college football game for one and the ncaa's on ps2 and xbox were amazing to me. crazy fun,yet somehow with an advancement in technology EA is taking steps backward. Sure they had to get used to the systems I guess but come on it's almost gonna be five years now. EA is doing something wrong and if they don't see then they should just give up the license.

I want a proper football game period. I don't care who makes it. Madden this year is better but honestly it could be MUCH better. If EA does this with the next generation of consoles too...oh my god.

No because I feel the developers ignored most of our wish list.

Yes because it's the only game in town.

Damn good point, everything they needed to know was on that list.

Same here, i'm buying it.. it's not a new game.. it's an upgrade at best. I figure they addressed about 50% of what was wrong with last yrs game.

Im making a switch from a ps2 to a ps3 this year... Will I still be disappointed??????

Re: Should NCAA Football 10 Get Your Business? (Who Needs Rules)

^probably even more disappointed than the rest that have already been on next gen. The gameplay on next gen just doesn't compare to last gen.

[huskerfan101]

So your saying that the ps2 version is better than the ps3 and to not buy the ps3 game?

Re: Should NCAA Football 10 Get Your Business? (Who Needs Rules)

For the first time in about ten years I won't be buying this game. It's going to be my small protest about the poor quality control and lack of emphasis on improving the core gameplay. I know it probably won't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but I'll feel better knowing that I won't be granting my $60 seal of approval to the direction this series has taken.

People are finally starting to get it. Around 2003-2004 I would get so excited for this game. I would be anxious for it to drop a few months in advance. This year, I didn't find out the release date until a few days ago. That should tell you something in itself.

I didn't even download the demo until just recently. Normally I would have downloaded it the second it came out.

People are finally realizing what I realized a few years ago. NCAA is nothing more than a few new animations and a roster update. Along the way that add and subtract features to make the game feel a bit different. What do we get this year? Endzone art in bowl games. That was something that was in the game in 2004. It's a pathetic that it has take this long to get these things in on the Xbox 360/PS3 when the original xbox had these features 6 years ago.

I understand that a video game is never going to be ultra realistic but I don't want to keep spending money every year on virtually the same product.

What am I paying $60 for? Is it end zone art and roster updates?

Started another '09 OD.

I can wait for Madden. Which is strange seeing as the last 5-6 years I have always gotten NCAA and passed on Madden.

Spread the word to my OD buds as well.

No, just endzone art. They Effed up the rosters.

Re: Should NCAA Football 10 Get Your Business? (Who Needs Rules)

I am getting it because I love football and my expectations for a video game that cost 60 bucks is not over the top so I am good with this game

Others won't get it because they are not getting real life mechanics and presentation in a 60 dollar game

I work all week and like to enjoy my sports games and will not tell myself that ea or any other company has to give me real life football in a 60 dollar disc.

The game is far from perfect but then again no game is perfect.

The game comes out yearly

Yet people expect changes that require 3 year periods like other games have

On a year to year basis the game will only improve a bit. That is the way it works

I prefer it that way because I need my football games every year.

This post is a prime example of why EA continues to put out crap year after year. The bottom line is this, OS only represents a small percentage of the NCAA football community, most people just want to play a game, have fun and escape their lives for a couple of hours. EA knows this and unfortunatley nothing will change until we can all come together collectively and stop buying their crap, but thats just not going to happen and EA know this. The head honchos at EA care about one thing, SALES (which translates into MONEY) and as long as the majority of the NCAA football gaming society continues to fall for their BS advertising year after year, nothing will change.

Me personally, I'm done buying NCAA Football until things change, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

With NCAA you will. Just don't trade in your PS2, it has better games than the PS3. The PS3 is great is you wanna play Blue Rays though. I have the PS3, Wii, and 360. The PS3 has become my blue ray player and hasn't had a game in it for a year.. I don't touch the Wii because it just doesn't appeal to me. Kids play it all the time. The 360 gets used by everyone for games. I wish I had my PS2 rather than the PS3. NCAA and Madden are both better on that console and the PS2 still has a bunch of great games.

I went NG for EA NCAA Football. I have to give EA a big thank you. If it weren't for crappy EA Football games I would have never been introduced to first person shooters.

Third person for me. With the extra time I discovered Uncharted (loved it) and started a lot more non sports gaming.

Re: Should NCAA Football 10 Get Your Business? (Who Needs Rules)

Huskerfan, it depends on what you look for in a game. Me personally, I prefer the superior gameplay, presentation and features of last gen. Pretty much the only thing that next gen does better so far is the graphics.

Do not sell your ps2! I did and I regretted it. I just recently bought another one used. I love my ps3 though by the way.
