Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

That's what I've been saying. Just not enough there to make my wallet $60 lighter.

Bang. Heading in right direction does not translate into a $65 purchase. Not after this years NCAA Football debacle and what is seemingly a MAdden one as well....update coming MArch of 2013.

if you played last year and this year, you'll notice there have been quite a few improvements to this game. Maybe it is Live Lite, but its a better game in every way from its predecessor which is how, imo, it should be judged.

Fair but that is assuming last year was any good. If you are improving a flawed product is that really improvement?

Pretty clear 2k set the collegiate bar, not a slappy but the game was excellent. EA is simply driving down the road on a flat by putting air in the flat instead of changing the tire.

ummm yes. Isn't the idea of improvement to improve upon something that had flaws? I mean, if something was flawless, why the need to improve it?

They did....

Most people didn't think much of it. It will be a cool feature as long as you don't have to rename the teams roster's every time it updates.

I've read that blog before. It said nothing about updating individual player ratings or appearances. Their feature needs to be explained better. If they don't tell you all the cool stuff that it does, then it won't attract anyone's attention.

+1. It's a college game. I could care less if the players dont look like their real life counterpart. As long as it plays well.

I'm fairly sure you are in the minority. Most people like to see the individual players on their favorite team virtually replicated in appearance, movement, and ability.

Umm no because once again you dont listen.

Putting a band aid on a bullet wound is not imporvement it;s false hope.

Ea isnt changing a leaking tire, it;s simply putting air in it hoping it stays full.


they need an overhaul and refuse to do it. Is that clear enough?

I agree with ND, this is a college game. EA can't make them have tattoos or headbands without getting into trouble. We can go and make those changes ourselves. I'd rather see polished game play instead.

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

1) no..I don't see a global edit of attributes feature, unless I'm overlooking it somehow. I've looked everywhere I thought it would be, but I'm not seeing it.

2) Yes.

YES TO NUMBER 2?!

Wow so sliders have numbers? I'm very happy now...

Not that I wouldn't love to see my players replicated, but lets be realistic. It's a college game, there are so many players. You can't please everyone. But if I'm in the minority, big deal. A game is about how it plays not whether a player has tatoos or the right hair style.

You can't take a terrible game and turn it into the best basketball game ever made the next year. The Live series was a disaster several years, but they've taken baby steps and now it's a pretty good (but not perfect) game.

I think NCAA BB has been taking bigger steps than any other EA sports franchise. The game was HORRIBLE when it first came out for next gen, and now is a solid title. I think last year was decent, but far short of 2K8, at least this year they're doing lots of things right.

The bottom line, is a lot of people on here are acting like this game is complete crap, and that simply is not true. It's funny when people criticize Madden for not making major changes year after year, and when NCAA BB DOES take big steps to improve the game, many people on OS instead switch to focusing on trivialities. They will never be pleased, no matter what EA does to improve the game.

To the rest of us, this game should be a very good upgrade to 09, and we will enjoy the game.

So what do you improve? Perfection? Why would something need to be improved? Because it has flaws right? So again, improving upon a flawed product is improvement.

Did you play '09? And have you played '10? If so, are you telling me there are no improvements to this game from last year to this year?

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

What game doesn't have flaws? I thought NCAA 09 was definitely a step in the best direction, and adding the real CBS tourney presentation is also a great thing so why do so many people wanna hate on this game? Especially when most of us haven't played it or have played it for only 1 day.

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

If you guys don't like the game, which you haven't even played yet, can you just stop with the posts about how awful it is and how youre never going to buy it. Some of us want actual info on the game and have questions. I don't care about whether or not you are going to buy the game and having to sift through all of that is annoying.
