The only thing that will alter EA's SOP is lost sales. If sales dropped 20% next year because someone organized a protest, they'd listen. Big time. However, gamers are like crack addicts, they can't put down the controller or keep their $ in their pockets long enough to mount a protest.

And EA knows this. Just look at their new VIP package, the cornerstone is you get the game via download 3 days before release. To me, that means 3 extra days of frustration before patches hit, and I'm gonna pay for THAT?

Great business to be in with a customer base of drones. "Resistance is futile" says the CEO of EA.

ROFL thats exactly what i thought when i got the email about their VIP package. I get to pay EA to beta test their game 3 days early? Sign me up!

I think you make a great point, however, I think Ben and other EA reps could be more honest and genuine. I think a great comparison is our very own forums. When people criticize the came in a fashion that is immature or rude, they lose credibility and are possibly banned. I think Ben, in his interview, came across in a manner which blew off the complaints. Personally, that's a slap in the face.

That is how I took his interview after watching it.

I'm enjoying NCAA 12 thoroughly, and it's due to being a PS3 offline player this year. I have experienced only a few hiccups which have caused moderate frustration.

Well...

This year has completely taken me off "the hunt" for the rest of my NCAA playing days.

Why should I pay 100 bucks or so to get a game a week earlier than its release date....when the actual game won't be fully functional until September?

Ugh.

So I listened to the interview that Ben Haumiller did with (dead pixel live) and i can honestly say I am more pissed off now than I was before. He's laughing and joking like everything is cool. Well everything ain't cool, I haven't touched NCAA FOOTBALL 12 since the day I heard about the roster glitch, and won't until the patch comes out, of which by the way we have no idea when that date actually is. He's happy about how many games they sold. WTF! What about being upset with putting out a product that most of the consumers are upset with. He was way too Ha... Ha... giggling and **** for me. Give me a damn date, address some the issues that people are having before fans of your title stop supporting EA entirely, I know for a fact I wont be buying MADDEN and I'm terrified about purchasing FIFA 12 just because of the experience I have had with this game. Sorry for the rant but I had to say something.

I can't keep defending. This game is F'd up. So many damn bugs. Features old and new are screwed up. People say this thread is crazy, but look at the damn game and I can understand everyones frustration.

4 Vertical is money every time.
My QB is in quick sand on a speed option.
Certain plays, the DB will stand there and let my QB run past him.
If I wanna give DRob a wristbands, he plays completely different.
Custom playbooks kill the game.
Can't get past the start screen.
Boston College/Va Tech doesn't register.

Idc who you are, a game should not ship w/ those bugs! Simple crap! I understand everyones frustration over the bull****. Everyone here could not buy it, and it wouldn't make a dent in EA's pocket. The casual fan , I doubt notices half of those things. Just when I was starting to give EA some credit and cut them some slack. Thank GOD something tells me to never get rid of my Xbox and NCAA07.

./end rant.

You do realize that most of the bugs you listed is going to be addressed in the patch, right? Look, the guy said the patch would drop before the end of August and based on my calculations, we've got 8 more business days before that happens. Unless he's flat out lying, then what's the point of getting your undies in a bunch?

I'd really like to see fixes for all the issues with custom conferences.

A smaller fix I'd also like to see is for the weather during the Big 10 championship game. It's just ridiculous that you're playing indoors and yet everyone is bundled up and you can see the players' breath like the heat is turned off.
