I for one have no plans to buy future EA games.

I think your fishing. NCAA taking forever to patch and being in my opinion- not worth playing in its current state is why i didn't buy Madden. Why would i want to play a game with many of the same core elements (they share code) if a patch might take 2+ months? In my situation, EA providing a competent patch in a timely manner would have increased my odds of getting Madden. Now its just harder to trust it would be fixed in a timely manner.

I would like to add, i sold NCAA in July since i was able to get what I paid for it. If EA is listening. I have been following this board for any reason to re-buy this game since i love college football. Instead the patch just drags on and on while major games like Dark Souls, Batman, Gears and others get closer and closer. You already cost yourself a Madden purchase from me, your getting close to another non NCAA purchase from me. So those people can say- well you guys will just buy it again next year, blah, blah. Well here is a small example of EA costing themselves money now.

Because, if he's insinuating that people complaining about a game that is unplayable and has massive problems w/ all the "new features" 2 months after release, then he's just down right insane.

People have every right to be mad and to air those frustrations...

Well said my good man! I hope EA realizes these types of posts are coming from long time customers and highly respected members of this board.

All it would have taken to prevent the chaos are a few tweets, updating loyal customers on the status of the patch.... this is nothing more than pure arrogance and lack of appreciation for its customers.

I haven't bought Madden yet because of the issues with NCAA. I don't hate NCAA, but the patch is really needed and I might as well wait with Madden to see what it's issues are and how long it takes to get it fixed.

I think I've played maybe 15 total games with NCAA since I bought it the Friday after it came out. I never start my dynasty until the patched/tuner updates are out and having to wait this long frustrates me. I just hope this patch is worth the wait because it's been a long one.

I waited with MLB and NBA 2K11 until the patches were released to purchase and I might have to do this with Madden now and NCAA next season.

I used to be one of those guys who bought NCAA and Madden opening day each year but that changed last season. Perhaps I need to wait longer than a week now to buy.

Again, I like a lot of things about NCAA but IMO I can't enjoy a offline dynasty right now. RTG has been the only thing keeping NCAA going for me but I really want to get into a solid Iowa dynasty.

It's just maddening when college football has already kicked off and I can't get into my dynasty. I tried a "test dynasty" last week I just don't like some of the gameplay issues and the roster glitch.
