So question for you: Why is it ok for them to compare the demo to 11, but not for me? EDIT: I never responded about the article itself. I thought the article SEEMED a bit bias, but I liked it. It would have been nice to have another person up there that wasn't as excited about 12, but the article was ok as it was. I understand how some people can be excited for 12 depending on what their expectations for 12 were.

That's a fair question and to answer that one, no offense, but I'll take someone who has experience with the E3 build vs someone who doesn't, which includes myself in that equation.

I just took it as Jayson stirred the hornet's up a bit and two others responded to it. Point-Counterpoint.

Well I for one appreciate all the tough critics. Keep that fire lit underneath their heels. With pretty much a monopoly, without such voices there would be no market mechanism pushing them to not be lazy at making the college game.

With that said though I am not one of those folks and for me this game is delivering what I wanted to see added on to NCAA 11. I love that game, got so many hours of enjoyment out of it that I do not see how an NCAA 11.5 is a bad thing anyways. If the .5 is all the things we have seen added on and fixed in the game then that is one hell of a .5. I'm all in for that. Its good to see some positive voices being raised so that the developers know they are on the right track. It can be easy to get caught up in negativity over things that still need work.

The year they make the perfect college football game is the year that makes the next year of the game unsellable. Come on guys...this is EA.

I think we're a long ways off(if ever) before we get AI that plays video game football like a human.
I just think if people are waiting for that level of intelligence (high or low ) you'll be waiting a long time.

Christian and Dustin......

BOTH of you guys told it just like it is!!!!!! I agree with every single word in this article.

And yes.....those in the impressions thread agreeing with Jayson are more than likely the type of gamers who will NEVER be pleased. Period!

I felt the difference on the very first tackle of the opening kickoff.

(Just read some of the replies) When the writer starts off by saying "It's people like this..." because the veiw was different, kind of seems like the whole purpose of the write-up was to say those that don't see the game on the same manner, simply are lacking something to have such a view. (I wouldn't or did not say Stupid) I wouldn't say that a Gamers can't have an opinion, but I've watched how none-positive notations about EA games have been met with sinister replies that seem to be given more leeway in expression. In a nutshell, I replied because I wondered if those that agreed with Jayson's write-up (not as positve), if such a person would be given the same leeway to do a Fact or Fiction write-up to counter such gloating perspectives that the writers present? Would it be Deleted? Would they be warned or Banned? I could care less one way or another and take no side, it's a video game. I've got likes and dislikes, but still will buy and find a way to enjoy it. This is the Best Gaming Forum in my opinion and I just don't want it to lose it's balance.

I don't want OS to loose its balance either. I think we contribute a lot to the development of sports games in a positive way.

But I'm with Dustin and Christian on this. Yes, it has some flaws (every game does). But to even fix your mouth to say its the same game is just ridiculous.

Like I said....I noticed from the opening kickoff.

Somebody called me a EA fanboy. I had to laugh. I already have my laundry list of complaints ready for the wishlist forum. But the improvements in gameplay are noticable. I just don't want them to rest on their laurels so I let them know things I feel are missing. But to call this game an example of EA putting the same product out to get our money is a bit of a downplay of the effort put into this game.
