Honestly if this is all they are going to fix I would have definitely preferred they just leave it alone. Even though no gameplay issues are addressed, somehow aspects of gameplay will change with this patch which means more slider tweaking is ahead...

Cannot believe they are not going to address the secondary/zone/bump n run issues. Throwing anything deep is just cheese as it is.

As much as I am still enjoying the game, it is frustrating when a company will not even try to fix glaring obvious flaws with its product.

This. I'm really upset that EA is still not addressing the issues with the Custom Playbooks.

This just helps make my decision to take a year off of NCAA. Glad to they'll try to fix it in 13 but I can wait for 14 it will give me some time to mess with all the ratings and see how they truly affect gameplay.

i think that it's safe to say that many of us who have been loyal annual customers since NCAA Football 99 (for me) are well into our 20's and beyond at this point in our lives, and i DO think that there will be a significant number of hardcore fans that will not be picking up this title next year. the sad thing is that as the only college football choice on the shelf i'm sure they will still do just fine and turn a profit, but for people who are shaking their heads and fingers at us saying "oh just wait til next June, you'll be sucked in by the hype machine"

yeah no. not gonna happen. this disappointment will still sting for a long time. I used to pick up Madden every year, but after they went exclusive i only bought one copy, and that was two years ago, used, in like April or May. we can stay away. can we make a difference and send a message? probably not. but will we get the satisfaction of knowing that we're not supporting this BS. at least I will.

I didn't purchase NBA 2K12, and even at the urging of many to do so, I resisted the temptation. I'm glad I did...good game (from what I read) but not what I need as 2K11 gives me everything I want. I based my decision on the forums here, and though it's a good game, it's not even close to "perfect" like many wanted to believe it would be (and with historic team limitations, which is all I'd play, it wasn't worth the money). for once, I exercised self-restraint on a purchase.

I can guarantee next year that I will NOT be buying NCAA 13 on opening day, if at all. Again, it will take a LOT of restraint because I LOVE football... But this year's iteration was a joke, and I rarely play it. I want to, but it's a terribly flawed game that I really don't enjoy. If everyone would suck it up and hold back purchasing, MAYBE EA would get the picture. But too many here claim they will wait, but then end up coming back like sheep... $$$$ is the ONLY thing that will get their attention...

i just got the game a month ago. i have yet to really start a dynasty until the finish the patches.

i am irritated from what i read that the game will only allow tuners IF you get online pass. heck, i have the option not to ever use online pass if i want when i purchase the game outright. i didn't, but either way, i run a business myself and no one should be punished for my in house problems. patches are in house problems. for this, i think EA has really lost perspective on customer service at it's most basic level.

second: while i understand everyone's complaints and feel all are vital, i will start a dynasty this week to evaluate everything myself. if i like it, i will continue. if not, i will likely trade this in and play games i have enjoyed more.

nba 2k12, mlb 2k11, nhl 11 and PES are so much more enjoyable it is not funny. this is only the sports games. this does not even cover the myriad of other games people play, like COD or Portal, that are clearly better than the football titles.

the fact is, american's like football. our ridiculous addiction to us makes us buy these games despite the flaws. i do feel the grace period has ended for EA however. this game was returned faster than any i had ever seen at the local re-sellers. they got the initial crowd, but not as much after. next season will be very critical for this series.

Ok... Since everyone is saying they won't purchase NCAA 13 on release day or at all next year, put it in your little signature thingy under your posts and the date of writing it so we can hold everyone to their word.
