I think you should waite for the final product before making this conclusion everything will be broken....... Every year i see lots of guy's saying something is broken and every year i seem to edit something in the game on my own and it gets much better on the field.......now i'm not asking you guys to waiste your time editing stuff in NCAA football But i find it kinda amusing that guys in Backbreaker's can edit the entire game Guys in MLB The Show or MLB 2K10 will edit the game some of them the entire game But the damn NCAA Football crowd act like those things aren't possible or they are too LAZY to do it...... If i had the patient to edit the default teams there's no doubt in my mind some of the issues you guys complain about would be cut in half..... Maybe you guys should get some kind of 3 or 4 man editing crew like the guys in those other sports games have done and fix some of the issues on the field by editing the game play on your own. There are quite a few guys here at OS themselves that can vouch for me because they've used EA's rosters and they've used my rosters in NCAA football and the issues are cut in half every year. IT doesn't make the game play perfect but it does make it better overall... Now the problems should be fixed by EA.....but if think they will edit the game like I have done the past 3 years or the guys who work as a community in Backbreaker or MLB The Show then your going to be waiting a long time. By the tie game is released they'll be working on NCAA 2012 So you can either complain about some these issues all year or you can roll up your damn sleeves and get under the hood of the game YOURSELF!

No offense, but not every game can be fixed by the player. I for one tried last year to fix the Madden rushing yards problem from the last patch for the game. I took all the running backs AWR down a ton, and for the first season it worked, but it soon skyrocketed after that. As for the A.I. in EA's football games, it is all connected to the engine. I can increase the A.I. of the QB's AWR, but for some reason they still throw really dumb passes. And the A.I. running game (in this generation of games) has been poor to say the least. You know why, because they can't alter the A.I. that much. It is to embedded into the main engine of the game. Thats why QB's throw the same INT's from the same situations. Cpu running backs run without any real sense of trying to get to the first down marker i.e. no real use of the right joystick, and no use of the speed button, which is why they got rid of the speed boost. because the A.I. was stuck on the fact that if you use the speed button the D will go into turbo mode, so it was always easy to get the RB on just about every play the CPU runs. Some things are just unfixable, and some things are just getting old.
