Life is too short. Will start my dynasty with computer generated names, 7min quarters on All-American, no sliders. It is a game.

A seemingly good summation...

Oh ye of the avatar with two great big boobally things.

This is why I purchased the game this afternoon:

-The gameplay is different. I'm interested in these new wild arse moves.

-Wide open offense, defensive issues....something new for me to try and beat.

-Stadium sounds, something new to customized my experience.

Basically, NCAA 2008 was the only Next Gen football game that I felt was playable last year. So I'll give this game a shot. It's not going to be perfect, but I'm just looking for a few months of fun.

I bought my copy today and am loving it. I get no freezes or lock ups at all with "earosters com" Works like a charm. This game is fun but at the same time frustrating, I faced Utah (I was Michigan) and gave up 247 passing yard, he was 23-29. Maybe it's me, this is my first time playing a Football game on an Xbox. But everyone who love the NCAA or Football in general, this is a must buy, there is a patch in the future.

You do relaize that if we get a patch in a month, that would still be about two weeks before the college football season begins, I believe on Aug. 30.

From I understand, patches are expensive and involve going through a complicated process. So it's not going to happen anytime soon. And you want them to get as much fixed as possible and not rush out a half-arsed patch.

Good reading, Chris.
