I also hope that with increased sales that EA is under increased pressure to address the litany of bugs that have plagued this title..

Agreed and hopefully it will only get better once they patch the player tendencies. It will be like release day all over again

It has it's bugs but none are game-breakers to me because I judge a game on its re playability and despite the said bugs (most notably roster issues and known money plays) -- I genuinely enjoy coming back to this game. If you don't gain any semblance of satisfaction or enjoyment from this game, then you are more than welcome to make your opinion known, sell the game and move on. I've played many online games who have a "Bugs/Comments & Complaints" sub-forum, that is put to great use. As it stands, OperationSports becomes a cesspool of gamers who re-post their opinion over and over and over and it becomes way too much to handle and in return, I don't visit this forum as much as I'd like. Please anyone who has the authority, pull some strings and try to get a "Bug/Comments & Complaints sub-forum in the works. A dedicated thread is nice, but it holds no clout with new visitors. A forum is a much more definitive and obvious distraction.

A++ post. Will read again.

I can't say thank you for this post enough. It really feels like the same guys are trying to be martyrs for the community and flaming out repeatedly while trying to throw this game under the bus.

I'm still new to the community here on OS. There are some folks on here who are insightful and extremely helpful to me in enjoying this game and others, but there are others that I just cringe in reading their posts.

I love the game, and have been annoyed at times. (Tried to start an OD with my buddies and his console freezes whenever he tries to join.) I, however, can look in the rearview and remember the other NCAA games on next gen and how rough gameplay was.

Even after trading it in, I still have many positive things to say about the game. It's a great game, and if I had no interest in Madden, I would of kept it and rode out the storm with most of the posters here.

For me bugs killed the enthusiasm I had.

Good for the NCAA team...hopefully they just don't become complacent after the success.

I almost was going to trade it in after yesterday. I had two straight drives of the psychic defenders morphing to INT my passes when my guy had the inside position, but then I put it back in late last night and had a fun game with no real issues or cheap plays.

The passing for me continues to be a problem overall though, 6/8 for 56 yards was my guys stats in the dynasty game I played last night...yet running seems far too easy. I can run it 45-50 times a game for 250 yards it seems, even in the SEC.

I'm glad the game is selling well this year though, they should continue to strive to put out a BETTER product in patches this year and in the future years.

In reality, its a lot closer to being than football than not and despite the earth shattering 3 examples you gave (people jump slightly higher than normal on occasion!) a lot of users really like this game. Which brings us to a point, doesn't it? If this game's success . . . disgusts you so . . . why hang out at a message board for said game? In fact, why not even look at the above article, think to yourself "I do not like this game," and then leave? Oh, right. You needed attention. I can understand getting pissed at flaws within a game you paid for and complaining about them, but posting on an article about the game selling well (and I'm sure you contributed to its sales) and say it disgusts you is just hilarious attention seeking. I happen to think that despite this game not being perfect, or even fully idealizing my expectations, that I'm happy to see hard working game developers getting paid. Good for them. Even if you hate the product, I'm sure at some point in your life someone will be disgusted by your work. What, you shouldn't get paid because some ******* on a forum was let down? EA made lots of money. Good for them. Maybe next year, don't buy the game and frequent the forums, if it disgusts you so, you silly goose.

You tell them another football game that they can go too and maybe they wont complain as much..but they have one choice..so they might as well voice their opinion
