If you just an all around gamer like me, then you will be picking up Gears 3, Battlefield or COD MW3....whos gonna have time for NCAA. Most of us have already given up on NCAA at this point, and by the time we get our hands on these better products NCAA will be an afterthought. My buddy and i have a dynasty and we are waiting on the patch. But now that i have started seeing NBA 2k12 info and MW3 video I honestly dont care if i play another NCAA game the rest of the year. Sorry EA, you had your chance but you blew it.

It really doesn't matter unless gamers buy NCAA 13 at a lower rate. While i agree the game choices the rest of the year spike soon and many will have NCAA out of sight and out of mind. It really doesn't hit EA until less units are sold. Huffing and Puffing now about how EA blew it doesn't mean a thing in September, show them in July by not buying the game day 1.

Exactly. I'm sure they are working to make us happy (to an extent), but its not the end of the world to them if we are frustrated with the bugs or the patch time, they already sold a ton of copies this year... and they know based on previous years that no matter how upset we are this year, come July of next year the vast majority of us will still be buying the game.

Only way NCAA will get back to being a great game is if we talk with our money and not with our keyboards.

This year NCAA had a lot longer time between big brother madden and their release and the time I spent on NCAA was much less then previous years.

You should see how many used copies are at my 2 local Game Stops.

I will not be spending money next year on this game because it is not right to have their game be playable sometime in late September when they came out in early July.

Next year I will play it with season ticket and most likely get a decision on the game in those 3 days. But to me Madden blew out NCAA this year more then ever

And this is where people need to stand as one and say... not again. Let the hype machine run from March to release day... how seriously will they take things if the game only sells 50,000 copies instead of 2.3 million?

Money talks people, and we have the voice.

If you think I'm buying this half-***ed garbage next year you're wrong.

I do agree with you guys. You have to hit them where it hurts, and when it counts. But, that wasnt my point for writing what i did. And, I'm not saying I won't be a fool and buy it again next year. I was more or less just writing in response to the topic of the thread, and basically saying I have given up hope on this patch and even when it does come it probably wont matter becasue a lot of us will be playing something else. Contrary to papular belief i do feel that EA does care if gamers continue playing their game. Now obviously launch day sales are the most important thing. But, i do believe continued play is important to them in some regard.

I can't wait until early next July to see who actually has the courage of their convictions.

The courage of their convictions? What a joke... I could really care less about the total numbers, the bottom line is I won't buy it so I don't have to deal with this crap.

Not buying NCAA 13: Saves $60 bucks
Playing NCAA 12 next year and not being frustrated to no end: Priceless
