The 1st is on Thursday. There's still time. Though I don't expect it until the first full week of September.

What did we all do then? We kept playing, and getting the most out of the game. Came up with house rules if it was really annoying...we did whatever we had to to make sure we can overcome and enjoy the game. Today we have patches. People easily forget last gen, when we had no choice. We either accepted the imperfections (which every sports game enounter because...it is a video game and not real life) or a programming bug of some sort that comes up when you put enough hours into a game. We kept playing, and enjoying our franchises. What the heck has happened here? Yes the game has warts and bugs. But I am in year 3....with named rosters and having an amazing time. And I know there are hundreds of thousands of NCAA 12 players out there that are too. OS has become a tiny island in a vast ocean that "so called" hard core sports gamers come and gather to wallow in their frustrations that they can't get a realistic game experience or this is broken or that is not working right and placebo effect this.....oh my goodness. And it is on every sub forum here. Even for the so-called greatest sports games of our lives (The Show 2011, NBA 2K11). Everyone has a right to express their opinions. But the core disfunction that has really plagued this great community is the intense, loud and immature posts that have spread like a disease and have infested and trolled what are meant to be informational threads as well as mature and intelligent discussions about our great sports games of today. Think what you all want about EA, or 2K basketball or EA NHL or whatever. We have never had so good with sports video games......ever. I don't care what the negative voices keep bitching about. Everyone holds on to memories of yesteryear because yeah....there were some great games....back then! But now? They can't hold a candle to what we have. My opinion. The patch will get here. And I feel bad if your stuck in this misery of not being able to play this game. I just can't understand that line of thinking. The game is extremely playable. I don't get it. Guess I am either too old to care or maybe I am blissfully ignorant. It's a video game.....nothing more...nothing less. Life is short. Play hard.

This post deserves to be Post of the year!!!!

You would be much better off just asking for dramatically improved A.I.

Until the A.I. is at least somewhat intelligent in its play calling and decision-making the cpu needs these cheats and any other artificial boosts in order to be competitive.

I used to not be able to DVR episodes of House every week as well but that doesn't mean if my DVR doesn't work right I just say screw it I missed that episode. Things were one way, and they improved. Don't be content that they will eventually patch it. Be upset that a game was rushed out before the bugs were worked out just to hit a deadline. It doesn't mean we can't play the game, it just means that it isn't up to the standards it should be.

There is no doubt sports games have improved but being content and lackadaisical as you want everyone to be allows companies to take their time and not worry about customer service.

I'm seriously considering going back to NCAA on the PS2...

I agree with most everything you said in your original post but I just want to say that if NCAA 12 had been anywhere near the quality of The Show 11 or 2k11, we would have no room to complain. Problem is, it is nowhere near the quality of those games and there are legitimate problems. NCAA looks like freakin Pong compared to those games.

The licensing agreement is in fact to prevent competition, not to gain extra privileges. And I don't want to hear the BS about how they're competing with other non-sports, non-football games. That's like saying the NFL on Fox's main competitor is QVC Jewlery Bonanza rather than CBS, NBC or ESPN's coverage of the NFL. I understand EA pays the NCAA for this agreement, I'm curious as to when it would become detrimental to the NCAA to have an inferior product. When the game doesn't sell, would the NCAA chose not to renew? Does anyone know when the first exclusive licensing agreement for sports games occurred?

How would it be a monopoly. The NFL owns their intellectual property. They can market and distribute it as they want.
