Funny thing is does it really matter to EA anyway?? We've already spent the $60 bucks so what do they care? Because you know, we ALWAYS come back to buy again either with Madden or next year's version. It's easy money to them.

And we all know why.... We have no other alternative.

Like I said....sure would be nice to hear something, anything in regards to our concerns regarding gameplay . No need repeating what has already been said 1000 times over.

Sorry to get tooo far off topic, but WHO is that in your avatar AuburnAlumni?

Hey man, I'm right there with you. Out of all the sports game that I play (NBA 2K, FIFA, etc.) ... NCAA has always been THE quintessential sports game for me, at least it USED TO BE. Being able to take a struggling program in '04 & '06 and build it up systematically in a very realistic manner is one of the most gratifying moments I've had in sports gaming. It can be FSU, it can be Idaho, hell ... anyone ... I enjoyed every minute of it.

Now?

I can't do that anymore. I rented NCAA '09 (thankfully) and was just flat out disgusted with the game. I tried, tried, tried looking past it flaws. I'd super-sim kick/punt returns ... tried firktaf's slider set to fix the lack of pass rush ... played a plethora of games hoping that a semblance of realistic football could be played. But it's just impossible, I'm not having fun and it sucks saying that for a franchise that I practically worshipped on the last-gen.

I used to write dynasty reports/journals too back in the day. My best one was when I controlled Rice and took the Owls to a BCS bowl game in my fifth season, thanks Big 12!!! It took work though, my first season I was 6-5 and I gradually improved each season ... I was hardcore about it too. Real hardcore.

I set house rules on my play style/recruiting. I researched future schedules on nationalchamps.net to make sure I was realistic with my scheduling. It was nuts, but it was worth it because '04 & '06 played so well for me and it was worth my time/energy.

I can't do that anymore and it's a shame. The NCAA series for me is like that hot chic in high school EVERYONE wanted to be with, but when she got to college ... she let herself go and those same people can't stand to look at her anymore.

That, my friends, is how I feel about the NCAA franchise now.

/thank you

Alright, PM him if you want to know, lets not take this any more off topic than it is. Id like to at least keep some resemblance of football conversation and what we want in the patch.

One more day, down the drain with not much progress.........
