well they did include dreads for him this year so that might be why other problems are irrelevant to him

some people prefer gameplay while others prefer cosmetic upgrades

Trust me i know very well EA should fix this issue

But i really don't think they will take action on it....they didn't last year and they didn't in NCAA 09

In fact i've yet to see any EA rep come on here and talk about ever fixing leaping LB's shoudln't that tell you guys something?

I remeber the NBA Live team having a guy who actually dealt with ratings and would listen to the Live community and then go in and make the chages right away

I've never recalled a NCAA guy doing anything of that magnitude

Well, considering all the uproar, I'm just gonna go get a used copy of last year's version and wait until mid-season to get NCAA 12.....

Even with all its faults ( I don't need to make a very long list of them, we all know what they are) but with that said this the BEST Football game I have EVER played, as in I have had more fun with NCAA 12 than any other version to date. Thats not to say that I don't expect NCAA 13 to blow my socks off with all off the improvements they had better make, but I DO believe they are on the right track!

PowerPitcher, I'm not calling you out...but it's another thing I have a problem with, with people who have this game. The phrase, "they are on the right track." How long do we have to wait/sink money into this franchise before they are "on track"? Seems like they have been "on the right track" for so many years now.

I'm not totally disgusted with this game, because I am still playing it and mildly enjoying it. However, it's clear EA's NCAA team cares more about adding half-assed features than fixing "under the hood" mechanics of the game. That is a business model I won't get burned by anymore. Definitely waiting on Madden this year because of it.

People been saying they are on the right track for the past 6 years now. Grant it they are, however it is come to the point now they need to make it to the station.

Because with slider adjusments the game plays great, not perfect, but great in my opinion. I've had a fantastic time wit it, when it hasn't froze on me.

As for your analogy I'd say its like a fantastic , meaty cheesesteak with a piece of gristle in every other bite. Remove the gristle and you've got a great sandwich.

You're way off the mark here, I have posted more than anyone here in some of these glitch threads, such as the freezing thread.
