Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage
I dont think they should stop having them. Its a way to reward some of its most visable playerbase by allowing them to see the game early, spend time with the devs of their beloved sport, and get a nice mini vacation out of it.
@Rynoaid . We are nost asking for mini reviews, nor asking for you to reveal anything you arent supposed to. Most of us work in the business world and understand people on both sides of the fence. What has pist me off was when we were flat out lied to. I will not quote posts atm to embaress people, but time and time again we have been flat out lied to.
One recent example was when a video was released that showed some horrific pursuit angles that allowed interceptions to be returned for TDs everytime. Those same pursuit angles shown in the videos allowed anyone with the ball to gain massive yards everytime. As soon as those videos were released, the forums erupted into WTF was that , that we just saw? Never to be outdone, here came the community day police brigade in full strenght to assure us that the video was just saw was some sort of alpha, bravo, charlie pre-hyper fighting release edition and not to worry that those issues were NOT in the final build they had played. The forums quieted back down because we were assured that this was not an issue. Fast forward to release day....mass hysteria again. Somehow all the pursuit angles were EXACTLY like we had witnessed in the videos. On comes the community day police brigade to the defense that somehow the game made a 180 degree turn from the day they left the mothership, to the 2 months release date.
I can point out at least a dozen other issues just like this.
This is what my problem is. I have zero problems with the CD people being under a NDA etc, but when we get flat out lied to year after year, they lose all credibility for the entire group.
