NCAA Football 12 Kicks Off to Record Start at Retail (Press Release)

Re: NCAA Football 12 Kicks Off to Record Start at Retail (Press Release)

Why are so many of the people who have issues with this game such drama-queens? It seems they use big definitive words to describe their over-blown emotions in an attempt to garner a reaction from the majority of level-headed gamers.

I think this game is a blast and a lot of fun! It has it's bugs but none are game-breakers to me because I judge a game on its re playability and despite the said bugs (most notably roster issues and known money plays) -- I genuinely enjoy coming back to this game.

If you don't gain any semblance of satisfaction or enjoyment from this game, then you are more than welcome to make your opinion known, sell the game and move on.

I've played many online games that have a "Bugs/Comments & Complaints" sub-forum, that is put to great use. As it stands, OperationSports becomes a cesspool of gamers who re-post their opinion over and over and over and it becomes way too much to handle and in return, I don't visit this forum as much as I'd like.

Please anyone who has the authority, pull some strings and try to get a "Bug/Comments & Complaints sub-forum in the works. A dedicated thread is nice, but it holds no clout with new visitors. A forum is a much more definitive and obvious distraction.

I'm happy that the game is selling well, it's by far the greatest football game ever to be put on a console and deserves it IMO. And with this years game adding much better defense I think it goes to show the public wants balanced play more than offensive score-fest of years past. I also hope that with increased sales that EA is under increased pressure to address the litany of bugs that have plagued this title..

Agreed and hopefully it will only get better once they patch the player tendencies. It will be like release day all over again

I can't say thank you for this post enough. It really feels like the same guys are trying to be martyrs for the community and flaming out repeatedly while trying to throw this game under the bus.

I'm still new to the community here on OS. There are some folks on here who are insightful and extremely helpful to me in enjoying this game and others, but there are others that I just cringe in reading their posts.

I love the game, and have been annoyed at times. (Tried to start an OD with my buddies and his console freezes whenever he tries to join.) I, however, can look in the rearview and remember the other NCAA games on next gen and how rough gameplay was.

Even after trading it in, I still have many positive things to say about the game. It's a great game, and if I had no interest in Madden, I would of kept it and rode out the storm with most of the posters here.

For me bugs killed the enthusiasm I had.

Good for the NCAA team...hopefully they just don't become complacent after the success.

I almost was going to trade it in after yesterday. I had two straight drives of the psychic defenders morphing to INT my passes when my guy had the inside position, but then I put it back in late last night and had a fun game with no real issues or cheap plays.

The passing for me continues to be a problem overall though, 6/8 for 56 yards was my guys stats in the dynasty game I played last night...yet running seems far too easy. I can run it 45-50 times a game for 250 yards it seems, even in the SEC.

I'm glad the game is selling well this year though, they should continue to strive to put out a BETTER product in patches this year and in the future years.

Yeah, champ? It disgusts you? In reality, its a lot closer to being than football than not and despite the earth shattering 3 examples you gave (people jump slightly higher than normal on occasion!) a lot of users really like this game. Which brings us to a point, doesn't it?

If this game's success . . . disgusts you so . . . why hang out at a message board for said game? In fact, why not even look at the above article, think to yourself "I do not like this game," and then leave?

Oh, right. You needed attention. I can understand getting pissed at flaws within a game you paid for and complaining about them, but posting on an article about the game selling well (and I'm sure you contributed to its sales) and say it disgusts you is just hilarious attention seeking.

I happen to think that despite this game not being perfect, or even fully idealizing my expectations, that I'm happy to see hard working game developers getting paid. Good for them. Even if you hate the product, I'm sure at some point in your life someone will be disgusted by your work. What, you shouldn't get paid because some ******* on a forum was let down? EA made lots of money. Good for them. Maybe next year, don't buy the game and frequent the forums, if it disgusts you so, you silly goose.

You tell them another football game that they can go too and maybe they wont complain as much..but they have one choice..so they might as well voice their opinion

This is the best NCAA game on this generation. Is that saying much? Well that is somewhat subjective, just like any game review. Is it disappointing it took 5/6 years to achieve the level we're at now? In some people's eyes, maybe. Am I glad the game is selling well? Definitely. Let's face it, if the game brings in more revenue, perhaps EA will expend more resources on making the game better.

Yes, the game has its share of problems. It is in need of quite a bit of polish as well as an entire engine rebuild, but regardless of those issues, it is heaps of fun to play, and isn't that the point of a game to begin with? Let's hope they can correct these issues in the future and make each successive year of this game the best.

WOW you mean when the developers listen to the hardcore fans and make a quality product it sells?

I was sure over-marketing fluff year after year, while ignoring the actual fundamentals of the sport on and off the field was sure to work.

Really congrats EA, but unfortunately your job isn't done(this year).

The great irony in all of this is that many of the folks here trashing the game will be crowing about how great NCAA 12 is when we are playing NCAA 2023. That's the funny thing about this forum, I was here back in 2003 or 2007 and remember all the anger at EA about NCAA 2002 and NCAA 2006, how many bugs they had and how people were tired of EAs pathetic brand of football, etc. Yet now people here, a lot of those same people, are starting threads talking about how great those games were... and yes those same folks back then were also talking about voting with their wallets, boycotting EA, etc.

It really just goes to show that people on here just exaggerate their opinions to make for drama I think because if the game was truly that bad they would have given up on it and quit joining the NCAA forums years ago. So for all the nonsense in EAs football games, for all the bugs, and there is a bunch of both, I know a lot of folks here would never admit it but..people really do enjoy and play the game each year, even if there anti-EA rants may seem to indicate otherwise :o
