Thanks for the info but I am too cynical to believe this crap. EA got me last year for 60 but not this year.

Peace

I am calling BS on this too. You're telling me no one from EA Sports visited the NCAAStrategies or PastaPadre sites prior to yesterday's event. Those guys have been promoting there impression review for the whole week.

I'm not buying NCAA 09 just so I can "ice the kicker" or play mascot games. If the game play isn't improve then it's time for me to move on. I'll just keep playing College Hoops 2k8.

Wow going back through and reading this thread makes me sad in the pants.

It also sort of sickens me to see the people at NCAA Strategies just sit back and take it in the *** from EA by taking down their reviews. Funny I seem to recall them blasting OS for being shameless EA fan boys, hell that was a very popular past time over there for a long, long time (I was guilty too).

Come on guys can't you just stay positive? I'm sure all of our gameplay concerns will be addressed in the next few months and we'll laugh at how concerned we were about the pick six, and 100 point games with five minute quarters, surely that'll happen....right?

Seriously though NCAA time is my favorite release by far year in and year out so if they have made it a farce (some of you would say more than the farce it already is) I will be very, very, upset.

Man you guys just don't get it your hate for EA runs so deep you are blinded by the facts, EA could care less what Pasta and CDJ said in those impressions good or bad its not going to effect their sales of NCAA. The people those articles are going to reach are strictly hardcore gamers a total of about 10% of their consumer base for the game if that much. So it doesn't make any sense what so ever for them to censor those two community leaders.

I'm sorry, that's just not true. If those were glowing reviews praising the game and calling it the must buy game of the year EA would not have had them take them down.

I disagree but everyone has a right to their opinion. I don't hate EA. I am disappointed that flaws from last year game is "in the game" at this point.

Same here. I'm disappointed the game-breaking flaw of too many interceptions from last year still appears to be there. As long as the same previews come up unedited next week, I'll believe that EA didn't censor these sites.
