Re: Game Informer Review

not for nothing, but i get my reviews here....Us OS-ers are a picky bunch, but if you want an honest review, i get them here. GI is OK, but 99% of all reviewers base their score on very minimal time with a game, ZERO slider tweaks and very minimal time in dynasty mode...Hardly enough time to form a solid opinon.

Good sign though....The CPU being ineffective at running the option is a concern though...But not a big surprise really.

This is probably my biggest concern at this point. If I play GT or Navy am I gonna roll them with Kent State?

Re: Game Informer Review

Look who reviewed it.

Kato pulls no punches. If a game is crap, he'll let you know.

Extremely confident about this game now. (not that i wasn't in the 1st place)

Yea, I trust Kato's reviews. Bertz on the other hand, meh.

Re: Game Informer Review

That said, there’s no getting away from the fact that recruiting is still a grind, and if you want to get blue chippers you have to be willing to put the time in

That may be a negative to the reviewer but it is a HUGE positive in my opinion.. Pulling blue chippers SHOULD be a grind

Promising review. Anyone know when EA is going to get new comentary? It needs it really really bad, and I think it would do wonders for the game if they did.

Re: Game Informer Review

Hmm...really don't mind that the commentary is getting stale now that EA put in a new PA announcer that I really seem to like. So most of my games will have the commentary turned off and just have the P.A. announcer on.

Re: Game Informer Review

The one thing I've learned, is not to base my enjoyment of a game off of some other person's review. I'm glad the last version I played was '08, so this game will be new to me.

The option issue "Might" be fixed by going into TB with those option teams and adjusting their run/pass ratio to more run and setting the playcall aggressiveness very high (above 80) to really go after your D.

When I played the demo I thought the PA guy sounded different at different stadiums. Am I imagining things?

Exactly. It takes two weeks -- minimum -- to get a true feel for a new sports game, especially games as complex as NCAA and Madden.

I got rolled by Terrelle Pryor a few days ago on a Speed Option out of Shotgun. Slipped past my DE and my LOLB took a bad angle...Safety nabbed him 25 yards later.

However, I will be looking for this supposed issue on July 13.

Nope they got a new one this year.

Ya what do they want? The game to just give them 5*****'s without trying

Both of these guys gave NCAA 10 an 8.5 last year, for what it's worth.

I personally thought NCAA 2010 was more deserving of an 8.7 - 8.8 last year. I had a lot of fun with it

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new PA announcer, just the minor inclusion of hearing him belt out that EJ Manuel was coming in for Christian Ponder over the loudspeaker had me grinning ear to ear.
