EA Has Changed My Mind

[Tecmo Bowl]

So I have just seen about 5 threads about NCAA saying how it's unplayable or broken. To be honest I used to be one of those people, I have even been banned from different forums for trying to state my opinion of why it "sucks". However, I have spent the last month playing the crap out of NCAA and I love it. Do I notice bugs, yes. Do I think they make the game "broken and no fun to play"? Hell no!

I literally have been lost in my Dynasty as an OC for WKU. Played with them for 6 years. You know what I found? The game is realistic! When I was just starting out, good teams would crush me and I would lose to other bad teams. But as I got to year 4 or so and got my people/scheme in, I started to win. But, I still could not compete with better programs. The highest I was rated was a "C". I would play "B" teams in a bowl game and just like it real life, I did not have the talent to compete. I would hang around for a few quarters but then things would fall apart like in real life.

I think the reason for having so much fun during my dynasty is I stopped complaining about things that just do not matter in the game and starting enjoying it. Are all the tendencies wrong? yes, but I don't notice it. Everyone still plays as they are supposed to. I actually saw a thread in the Madden forums complaining about Green Bay's log being wrong....Are you serious? Who the hell can even tell that when in the view that is given to you to play? Take my word, spend more time PLAYING the game and enjoy it. Just like in real life, don't sweat the small stuff.

Well put. The game is fun if you just play it. Is it a perfect product, no, but I couldn't make it better. We as gamers offer our opinions and I must say EA has been able to come through on some of those requests. I'm loving my dynasty and the fact that I can't win every game. Heck even one of my controllers was in slight danger, but it was good to have to be pushed to win. Peeps try enjoying the game more than trying to find a reason to hate it.

Re: EA Has Changed My Mind

I couldn't possibly agree with you more. A lot of people complain a ton, and I can understand why they would... this game is definitely not perfect, but if you just stop worrying about every little problem and start playing the game to just have fun, you'll get more enjoyment out of it.

Of course, not everyone will, but that has certainly been my experience. I still play this game every day and enjoy the hell out of it.

So all the negative statements have to go in the Impressions Thread, but the positive ones get to stay open?

Re: EA Has Changed My Mind

Because there isn't a million STOP COMPLAINING ALREADY threads out there as well, you guys are almost as bad as the guys who say this is unplayable.

Not true at all. There are many threads about complaints/concerns different areas of the game that are not in the impressions thread.

Re: EA Has Changed My Mind

Honestly....I dislike these type of threads where people feel it is necessary to justify their love or hate for this game. Especially when I see the "well I use to be one of those type of people" written in the thread.

That has always been my biggest pet peeve when I see people label other people to justify their point of view. Honestly these threads of "I'm having a blast with this game" threads are just as annoying as "this game is completely broken" threads. Both threads clutter up the board.

We have an impression thread for a reason.

Whether you are having fun playing the game or dislike the game, that doesn't matter. But I do wish people stop labeling other people to justify their feelings for the game.

Nobody picks Switzerland in a war game......

I wish we could have 2 stickied threads. 1 for all issues and complaints/suggestions for the game and 1 for those who just want to discuss the positive and fun.
Sure would stop the "look at me" type threads FROM BOTH SIDES and stop the unnecessary clutter.

The game is actually addicting. I'm in year 2 of my dynasty as UVA's DC and I love it. I'm finally starting to get my 4-2-5 scheme to play up to my liking with the players I recruited and its paying off. I beat Penn st at their home field convincingly b/c of my D.

Re: EA Has Changed My Mind

I'm glad you're enjoying it. I truly am.

But you can't see why many people don't? Talk to me when you get fired from your WKU job despite having an awesome record and completing all your goals, and then can't get a job anywhere in the game because your prestige is a C or lower and literally almost every coach in the game is an "A". Don't worry, it'll happen soon enough.

I never said I cant see why people don't. I am just saying to calm down and look at the big picture. On the whole, the game is fun.

As to getting fired and stuff, I actually just took the Wisconsin OC job after 6 years with WKU. My stud junior QB and WR left for the NFL after I left. So no, not having an issue finding a job. In fact, WKU renewed me 3 times in those 6 years.
