This right here is the best sentence of them all.

This game is flat out painful to anyone who truly loves this sport.

There are a whole lot of people on this board who know college football very well, love it more than any other sport, and still love this game. There are at least 30, 40 folks who say they love the game, who I would have lost the farm betting that they would have trashed this game mercilessly. To me its inexplicable. It will be interesting to see how things stand in a couple of weeks though.

I love the sport and the game it is not flatout painful for me to play.

I think some people would be better off unplugging the controller from the console, sit on your couch (with controller in hand) and press buttons, as you watch a real game on TV.

Just imagine how many controllers would have been thrown at the TV last year...


Appalachian St beats Michigan.
Horrible AI, someone fire Miles Brand.

Kansas Jayhawks in a BCS game.
Runs to petition.com to get a boycott of the NCAA.

Notre Dame's Offensive Line acting live a sieve last year.
ZOMG the O-Line play slider needs to be tweaked.

12 unranked teams defeated top 5 teams during the regular season/#2 team in nation loses 7 times.
Simulation Engine is broken.

Central Florida and South Florida have better records than Miami and FSU. CFU has same overall as Florida.
Bah stupid mid-majors, they can just fire me if parity is the wave of the future. - Signed Billy Packer

Navy 74 - North Texas 62
Stupid wide open gameplay.

A Freshman, Sam Bradford, throws 34 TD passes. Tim Tebow scores 23 times rushing the ball. Jeremy Maclin (Freshman) has 2,700+ All-purpose yards, which beats the previous record by almost 700 yards.
Quit playing on Junior Varsity level.



and last but certainly not least.............................

50 teams with less than 2 sacks allowed average? Where is my pass rush - this is no simulation.

867-5309, you are pulling out the most bizarre examples from last season. These things you listed happen in most of the games and most of the simulations. The fact completion percentage in one game was 90% last season, doesn't mean every game should have that in the video game.

Well, I have been on this site since 2002. This is the first time that EA has ever had guys here engaging the masses. Perhaps, NCAA 10 will have more of what the sarcastic blow-hards want.

Like pissed off gamers who pick out one or two odd plays in a game to make videos of showing off their grievances with the game? Instead of posting the hundred or so normal ones.

Until then, NHL 08 remains their only current sports series that's worth saying positive things about. P.S. The electric football comparison is probably giving the NCAA team too much credit; those games actually worked like they were supposed to when you opened the box and turned them on.

I havent gotten the game yet, but to this post here LMAO!!!!! this is too funny
