That irks me more than anything especially since the NCAA overcharges for the license which in essence killed all college hoops games as the sales don't make up for it.

The sad part about it is the game was actually pretty good. All they needed to do was patch the CPU post game and a few other things and it would have been a solid title.

EA Sports' greed has been detrimental to sports gaming no doubt about it. They secure an exclusive license for ex amount of years and then all of a sudden stop making games because of lack of sales. They did the same thing to NASCAR.

Yes it was. Presentation wise it was the greatest.

Compare basketball between EA and 2k. Competition makes the companies have to make superb games. Last time I looked NBA 2k11 smoked EA because the made a better game. Now with a monopoly in football with no competition, why would a business have to try when there is no other company to buy from? make a few entrances here or there on different teams and make the graphics slightly better. Don't improve the game play very much, have a bunch of bugs, and release it. How will it hurt the company if there is no other competitor. And if you purchased it, it was from a 3rd party so trading it in or selling it doesn't hurt EA.

So this may be a dumb question, but is this 3rd title update going to fix any other issues other than no huddle? I would like to see the custom playbook issues resolved as well.

while I hear what you are saying what is your point? is your point that it makes GOOD business sense to buy out the exclusive rights so you can make a larger profit with a lessor game? are you expecting EA to ditch the exclusive rights and have their profit margins shrink?
