NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

[roadman]

I didn't have the patience to wait it out.

Good luck to those that hung on, couldn't pass up the $30.00 trade-in for Madden.

I 2nd this. I would never purchase NCAA w/o the draft class feature into Madden. I like NCAA but it will always be a barebones version of Madden to me. Gameplay wise Madden is far superior and in this generation of consoles that isnt saying much...

How do you determine that EA stating that they took extra time in order to fix some stability issues is just an excuse on their part, especially when you consider that the patch hasn't even dropped yet? You speak about logic but I don't see the logic in coming to that conclusion without proof. If you base your post on this game's prior track record current gen then I take you back to my original post; Why are you buying the game in the first place?

Well said. I buy the game every year too so whatever flaws it has I deal with it and hope for good patches. If I get tired of the same old pattern I will stop buying it. That's all I can do.

Constructive feedback is important and we all do a great job on that end of it, but complaining about delayed patches doesnt help the dev team or this franchise one bit. That's all I'm trying to get across ya know

Because it justifies their "EA is lazy" and "I'm entitled" stance.

I'm glad EA is taking its time with the patch. I'd rather have them truly fix things, and perhaps address things we didn't see or know about, than to rush out a patch, only to still have issues with the game.

My only hope is that the patch/tuner don't jack up the gameplay like they did last year. I think that currently the gameplay (aside from the attribute bug, which for me isn't a huge deal) is pretty solid.

Yeah. I wish they would fix the deep routes being consistently open. It really hurts the game's realism. It is really frustrating to see teams like SCar and others throw for 400+ yds against bama (A+ defense) and still have a less than 50% pass %.
