Exactly.. Size is everything.. When you hit someone your strength matters but not as much as how big you are and how fast you are moving.. People who say otherwise haven't played footballComment

Re: NCAA Football 12 - Pre-Order Nike Pro Combat Bonuses and Enhanced Tackling Engine
because the closest EB Games/Gamestop to me is an hour there and an hour back. So that is more than just the $5. It would be much better for me to drive 5 minutes down the street to a wal-mart.
When it was unlocking them through the Demo, that was alright, a little annoying, but alright. Now I have to buy a game from a specific store to get something that should already be in the game?Comment

Hopefully the WVU pro combats are in the game by default, because if they're not in the game I'm going to be pissed. They were easily the best pro combats last year.
I know I'm bias, but still.Comment

Lol at all these people saying:
"This sucks that EA is making me buy the game from Gamestop to be able to get these jerseys. I don't want to buy it from Gamestop because I get it a week early from (insert Mom and Pop Shop here),"
Did it ever occur to you that this is the very reason they are making you pre-order from Gamestop to get the jerseys? To incentivize all you to not illegally break the street date every year?
EA: "Hey guys, as a reward for not illegally breaking our street date, pre-order from Gamestop, a company that has agreed with us that they will not do that, and you'll get free cool stuff."
They aren't charging you extra for anything. It's still $60 bucks.Last edited by DLev45; 04-20-2011, 02:59 PM.Comment

It is still extra money for shipping, also I do not have a credit card.
EA should've struck this deal with respectable retailers everywhere.
Either way I will find a way I'm sure to get it from Gamestop, though if it ships on July 12 like the site says then I won't get it for another week or so.Comment

I know people don't think the street date matters, but it does. Breaking the street date can be detrimental for a video game's sales numbers. Take this for example:
Th NCAA devs find a last minute bug that is detrimental. The new tackling system freezes the game when you press two buttons at the same time (just imagine something along those lines). However, they have to ship their discs out to their retailers by June 31st. If they don't meet this deadline, then the retailers will boycott them and they will have nowhere to sell their game, so they ship the discs to the retailers while working on a patch to fix the bug. Their deadline for solving the issue is July 15th, so that on release day, people download the game and the link works fine.
However, one of you buys the game from MomAndPop games a week early, before the street date. You play it, you press two buttons at the same time, and the game freezes. Then you come onto OpSports, and tell everyone how the game is broken, do not buy it, it's garbage, it freezes, etc. Half of the people read this and cancel their pre-orders or don't go buy it. NCAA loses half of its sales and the game is a big loser profit-wise due to poor reputation a week before release, even though the bug was actually fixed on July 15th, the street date, and people who bought it that day were actually getting the game in fully working as intended.Comment
