That's something thats entirely subjective.

On the other hand, I do think people have been conditioned to expect a ton of flaws. And when that's the case, you're going to have a hard time being OK with the flaws that are there. I just don't want people to be under the false assumption that beloved titles like The Show and NBA 2K don't have their fair share of flaws/bugs either. I play those two titles more than any other sports game, and there's tons of bugs and glitches.

Where NCAA Football falters compared to other series is in its core gameplay. The glitches and bugs are something that come with video games in general. I don't know why people seem to be expecting otherwise.

PS: When I say all of this, I'm excluding the highly annoying fact that a few legacy bugs are still in the game.
I have seen nitpicking in the past where some complaints has been just been absurd and people was just jumping on the I hate EA band Wagon. This year I think it's different and a insult to gamers. We are finding legit issues with the game this year that just killing the game experience. Football is the number 1 sport in America so it will have the most passionate fan base of the sport. If you want to take the responsibility of being the only provider be able to step to the plate and deliver a solid not perfect game. This sucks for NCAA fans because they dont have a Next Gen game to fall back on, they have to wait tell July. NBA2k has it's flaws and so does MLB the show and it's talked about in there respected forms.

I have never went on a EA rant before on this site through all the years on this site because others said enough but after the touchback turn into a touchdown glitch I experience last night im pissed off because now your messing with the rules and core of the game.


With that being said the offense in this game got to much love. I like the foot plant and cuts this year. The O-line blocking is great this year which causes the running game to be better. The option game is strong this year which is a plus. Now unfortunately with the offense side being helped there was no counter to those things on the defensive side of the ball. The presentation is lacking bad that college atmosphere is not shown in the game. It doesn't feel like your in stadium pack with crazy college fans. Bowl games feel just like any other game.
