Go outside and find a BUG,and BUG, put it in an envelope and mail it to EA/Tubiron. If receiving a few thousand bugs doesn't light a fire under their a$$, nothing will. And it sends a message, we the fans/customers are more than a little upset. Thepure hassle of the mailroom boys dealing with this is pleasure alone. Make sure it goes to Ben Haumiller.

While the thought is kind of funny, I would opt for a way to mail in something pointing out the gameplay flaws. While the bugs are important, the core of any sports game is the gameplay and NCAA has some major holes that never get addressed because bells and whistles sell, not gameplay.

Perhaps someone could package up game film and send that in.

I haven't checked lately, but do you suppose Hallmark has made the "It's time to bring gameplay logic and programming to the 21st centry" card?

Everyone likes cards don't they?

We at EA have therefore decided to concentrate all efforts on making NCAA 13 the best it can be and hope you will accept this heart felt apology from the entire team AND we look forward to selling you another great product next year cause we know you'll buy it...thanks again and screw you!" Something like that...ok, I threw in that last part cause thats how I feel but...I have been expecting that post every day when I get home from work.

Haha... nice!

You forgot to add the patented Ben H. introduction though.

"hey guys, Ben Haumiller here"

However, in all seriousness, I think we would all be entitled to full refunds under the warranty policy. They would at least need to fix the freezing issues.

I just bought a used copy of FIFA 11 for $15 off of Amazon.

I shall play the heck out of it until this patch comes out.

I can play this game and enjoy it, but I don't want to start a dynasty until the patch comes out.

I just called a rep at EA about the fact that the "server side fixes" for OD's are not fixed. He said my roster file may be corrupt. I dont really know how I would know if my file is corrupt, but I am going to sim through a dynasty with out rosters and see if I can advance past bowl season. Ill keep you guys posted.

Recurring theme, its anything and everything but their coding, scripting, and design.

If EA doesn't come out with a patch within the next week, they should pay us our money back for their broken game. It's unbelieveable, and totally unacceptable. EA has kept everything quiet and given us no notice or inside information on what the heck is going on. They have been very vague with their information. On top of that, they said via Twitter that they have fixed the bowl game reporting bug, when they have not. I'm just tired of this. And there's nothing we can do besides return the game. That'll show them

A simple visual lesson...

Broken:



Not broken and still quite enjoyable to the masses:
