OS explodes with posts that this is the final year i buy this game. wars begin. bans imposed. people make nice. the next year we repeat the same ole stuff. after last years substitution problems, this is a definitely a wait and see game for me.

I know what you mean after NCAA 08-10 I pretty much was going to give up on the series but after playing the demo I changed my mind. I hope this game will reach the level that I regard NCAA 00, 04, 07 at as being some of the best games that really advanced the series.

I like that they mentioned some negatives as well so we know it's not a pure PR move.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited.

I'll just wait until OS reviews this puppy before I make any decision. Some of the sites like IGN, Gamespot, etc, wouldn't know a good football/sports game if it came up and slapped them in the face.

To those of you who are questioning why GameInformer broke the embargo, it's obviously because EA gave them permission to. If they'd broken the embargo, they'd be in trouble. Instead, EA advertised the review today on Twitter. Clearly they wanted a positive review to come out early.

Its pretty obvious that most reviews are going to be positive

I like what has been done this year. But my last thought for this game is no Coaching Carousel. I will get pass it and I will(barring any major hic-up)purchase it this year.
