It would be to big of a patch to fix audio and the freezing/roster issues.

I'm sure 13 will get an audio boost with Fifa's sound technology.

We saw that with the decline in sales for Madden, NCAA will see the same. We are too far along in the next gen cycle for it to be an excuse. I imagine that there is a lot riding on the success of this patch and the Madden release. I just hope they realize it.

I decided to try writing a blog and my first entry is somewhat related to what you are getting at here (in sig).

With a yearly game release, EA is almost better off having "room for improvement" each year. If they were to put out that tru gem of a game, folks might be content just updating rosters for a few years. It would destroy future game sales. The only way around this is a subscription based model, where the concept of a game each year really isn't valid, just an updated/patched version.

^^This. Exactly what I have been thinking that games like these -that come out yearly with some "improvements" and roster updates- need to come to.

What are the audio issues I usually play with the sound down while listening to podcasts and such.

Bk, sometimes there is dead silence.

Before Phil left on the Madden side, he said Madden and NCAA will share audio from Fifa's sound technology, but they didn't get to it this year. He said it will be addressed in 13 on the Madden side, I wouldn't doubt NCAA puts it in.

Gotcha. I haven't really liked the audio for years so I turn it down.

The psychic DBs in this game are worse than last year and the superman linebackers are worse, too. It makes the passing game almost impossible and incredibly unrealistic. This HAS to be fixed. If it is not fixed, this game is getting traded in. It's getting to be ridiculous and a game-killer. You know what would fix this problem? Real-time physics. But that's like pulling teeth on here, so I won't mention it further than that.

Once again. Because I can't make a thread...

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I HAVE TO RESTART A DYNASTY FOR THE PATCH TO TAKE EFFECT? OR CAN I START ONE NOW AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT?!
