I, personally, see a number of improvements to this game that were deal breakers in 09 (pursuit angles #1 by far). So, I feel like I can enjoy this game and be excited for it. It's my $60, and I feel like I'll get my money's worth. If you don't think you will, then I am very happy that you've decided to use YOUR $60 elsewhere. If you want to reconvene in 2 months and try to convince someone you don't know that they should feel the same way as you, so be it. In all honesty, the half a dozen people that follow the "optimistic" ones around shouting at them to change their minds do little more than show their age. Again, though, what you keep posting is your OPINIONS on the subject. Not facts.

I have never tried to convince you to feel the same way as I do. If you enjoy the game go right ahead and play it and have a great time. So I hope that you do not feel I'm attacking YOU because I am not.

Your right I am showing my age as a valued consumer. The truth hurts and even I had to pull my rose colored glasses and say enough is enough. NSTOD I want more out of this game not for myself but for guys like you. You deserve better. I know you are just fine with the game the way it is but I will say it again. YOU DESERVE A BETTER GAME!! So I am going to continue to point out glaring issues that should have never made it out of the offices of the EA studios.

If I was lead designer of NCAA and these videos came across my desk as a representation of my work I would have been livid. I would have driven my entire team night and day until things improved because that's how much I care. I take pride in my work and the work of those around me. So yes I am going to continue to show my age and state the facts as I see them.

If my performance at my job was that horrible, I would expect to come in the next day and have my desk completely cleaned out with a message "**** you" on my desk, lol. 2. Why do these people REFUSE to work on fixing GLARING gameplay flaws like Ian? 3. Why are these devs so silent in these forums? Ian is everywhere addressing the issues we have with madden. I remember when someone had a criticism of a madden 09 video about the O-line blocking and literally, less than 10 posts later, Ian was like "I know what you are talking about, thank you and we are fixing this right now." Awesome. But these NCAA guys are nowhere to be found. They can't even admit wrongdoing. Wow. do they work for Bernie Madoff too? hahahah. 4. How much time is ACTUALLY put into getting the little things right with this game? The rosters, the uniforms, the playbooks. My guess would be no more than a week or two. 5. How much time is ACTUALLY put into the gameplay of this game? I could go on and on for days, but all we want to know is that the right people have been dismissed from their duties, like we did when Ian came on board madden this year and that the game is headed in the right direction. This just simply cannot continue in the future. This game is simply a large ponzi scheme for 60 dollars per person. I won't take credit for this, but it was the best thing that's been about the NCAA series in years, and four marks to who said it: "Band-aids covering Bullet wounds."

Excellent points Todd!

just so you know, Ben Haumiller is not the NCAA lead designer. he works on the Dynasty modes(online and off). not sure what he has to do with it. I guess most people blame him just because he is one of the devs that does the interviews and such(those Season Showdown video of him really piss people off, including me though, ), and in those situations, he is supposed to "try" and "sell" the game. remember when Ian was not the lead and "tried" to sell old versions of Madden in interviews even though they were terrible. and look where he is at now and what he does.

Dear God after the first SS video, I watched the others solely to see the gameplay, b/c I could not stand the garbage that was coming out of their mouth.

Oh and I hope to Goodness we never play you guys when you go all-black at home and it's a night game in the fall, because Tech cannot be beat in that situation. Maybe it's the mystique of the situation along with having the hottest female student body west of the Mississippi. Whatever it is, it's a winning formula.

can't believe I didn't notice it before(although I knew it was in) but I'm glad they put the scoreboard update in the game.

What has Ben done with dynasty this year?
