Is there a such thing about being too negative about this game

[Sundown2600]

I mean...considering that I have been in absolute love, no...make that lust with the NCAA series since the PS1 days like many of you. Considering that last gen, as a college football fan I only needed a used copy of Madden just to see how NCAA players did in the pros. I never really had to play Madden. That's how satisfying NCAA was. Considering that next gen has been plagued with bugs and inexcusable glitches for two years in a row. Considering that it seems clear that NCAA is being given second class treatment compared to Madden on next gen systems by folks at EA/Tiburon (at least from a presentation standpoint). Considering the fact that these games are more expensive, but much less satisfying. Considering the fact that this game is a little more than 2 weeks old and I have already gone back to playing COD5, NHL09, and Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway?

Considering all of this. Is there such a thing as a person in this situation being too negative regarding this game?

No. Being mad is warranted. They've taken 6 awesome gaming years from us. It's not life or death but it's not something to be happy about either.

Can't agree with this more. I'm simply just playing this game because i only have 3 other games (one being NCAA 09) and I am a huge college football fan.

There are positives, personally I love the graphics, perfect player models have been achieved, wonderfully detailed stadiums, skies, lighting, etc. Really beautiful gamme on HD.

Re: Is there a such thing about being too negative about this game

EA is so good at sucking people into buying there games. Everytime I pass by it a Walmart I come so close to buying it. I have 09 and want to stick with it after reading the reviews. I always think I might as well get it bc it may be a fun game but I have to drag myself away. I think this happens to other people imagining things not in the game while looking at the box. As long as people keep buying it will keep sucking. EA doesn't care what you think when you got it bc they have got their money.

Madden 10 does look bad a** though in the demo. It may actually be a very good game.

I have to agree. The player models on close up shots look absolutely amazing! I can't lie. The only thing is EA went overboard in the muscles dept, especially on the O lineman, but that's nothing bad. I have an HD LCD screen too so I give props when they are due. It's still hard playing a buggy game with nice player models.

Yeah thats too mad

Normal mad is good enough. So does anyone know if I can trade this in towards CoD MW2 or is that 40 bucks offer only for Madden?

No. EA has developed a following, they've established themselves as a reliable company in the industry(whether their games have been good or not) and people like much of the same, would someone buy some no name indie company's game over EA?(given the situation that EA no longer has the exclusive license of course)
More times than not any casual gamer would stick with EA just because they know what they are getting. Now most OSers would try the new game, because we(i'd say most of us anyway) are hardcore sim football fans who want the best game there is. BUT EA's biggest market is the casual gamer, a casual sports fan who just wants to play that game, not caring for presentation and realism.
So I wouldn't say they are "sucking people into buying their games" but that they've developed a reputation and they are a recognizable name.

Nope this game is horrible, I hope a new Gameplay guy comes in this year because this is pure arse. Really how can you not make a LB attack the FB on a PA? lol I mean does somebody need to go back to developing school? I for one am done with EA's NCAA game for good after this pee poor game.

Re: Is there a such thing about being too negative about this game

Could not agree more EA is a well known company because of their past. Back in the days of MVP 05 and NCAA 05 I used think EA was the best and the one to stick with. There gameplay was so much smoother over the competitors. They are now using that to their advantage making people think each year EA will have a solid game with updates. I remember the last All Star Baseball game made by Acclaim Sports. It killed EA at the time with more pitching motions and stances but everyone stuck with EA (Triple Play 2003 I think).

As for the Hitler thing that is hilarious. I have got to send that link to my friend.

1 more week of playing this thing ( I won't call it a game anymore) until I get to turn it in for Madden the best thing about having this game I will not buy another until I hear about a new Gameplay guy.

Yep, not to mention they have created a monopoly in the NCAA and NFL markets by getting the exclusive licenses, so there isn't anyone to compete against. No pressure to make the game as great as it could be.
And Triple Play 2003 was terrible, I remember that mess of a game...ew.
