Because their not happy about a product and are tired of plopping down $60 for the same old same and want something that warrants them giving up their money is sad? And then you want the mods to shut them up if the don't fall in line and except it. So you have never felt cheated or shown any displeasure for any product you have ever bought...

It's not just maxing out stats and having a stupid bullet time button, it's actually having Pippen play like Pippen or Larry Bird play like Larry Bird or Magic Johnson play like Magic Johnson. They have tendencies and skillsets that reflect the real player. Retro equipment. Retro arenas. Retro uniforms. Retro TV style looks. They even have broadcast style commentary for each and every classic matchup. But Heisman modes only novelty is being able to put Charlie Ward on the Gators and using bullet time to run up the score on FSU and Miami?....and that's it? Oh yeah, then play a Road To Glory with the same player you just played a dynasty season with. It's a slap in the face of 2K and those who enjoyed that mode to say 'this is just like that." No it's not. The NBA 2k mode is a well thought out, well implemented mode with attention to detail and authenticity. It's something for the sim heads and the casual fans. Heisman mode is a half-hearted attempt to capitalize on the success of that. It's like that movie company the The Asylum that copies famous movies, but they are terrible straight to dvd attempts. Transformers hits theaters, and The Asylum releases Transmorphers. Heisman mode=straight to dvd quality feature. At the very least, they could have spent some time working on Heisman in Dynasty. Heisman presentation? Better Heisman logic?

The bold made me literally LOL. I worked at Blockbuster when that came out and we had to tell people all the time that it wasn't the real Transformers.

Very rarely will I bash a game company...but how do you spell Gimmick? EA

[DubTrey1]

Ok, so who cares. I can create a player, make him 99 ovr and slap last name Sanders on him - and then what? Don't get me wrong, not crapping on the game, just questioning the effort. EA and their gimmicks are really tired. This "feature" brings no real value to the college fball fan that buys these games - (read any person on OS)... I just find this useless and will never play this mode or whatever... as a matter of fact, this will have as much use as the Mascots being playable. How about spend the $ and assets on other areas of the game?

Barry Sanders will probably have his tendency as power back, watch and see. Charlie Ward - Pocket Passer. Sigh.

Ok guys, I know that most of us are frustrated over this. But this doesn't mean we can disregard the rules of the site. This is including, but not limited to the following:

Quote:

Constructive Criticism We allow all opinions on Operation Sports. But if you want to be negative, it needs to be constructive. Bashing a game developer is not constructive at all, for any reason. Bashing a game period is not constructive. Whining/complaining/acting like a middle schooler is not constructive. If you want to be constructive, say what is wrong with the game specifically. Any negativity that is not constructive will not be tolerated.

Thanks

It's basically the same concept. The point of NBA's Greatest mode was to play as some of the greatest players in NBA history. The point of this mode is to play as some of the greatest players in NCAA history.

You argue that the players in NBA's Greatest mode weren't all maxed out. That's because relative to other NBA players, they aren't far superior (with a couple exceptions such as MJ obviously). A guy like Scottie Pippen probably isn't better than today's LeBron James. Therefore, his ratings aren't superior to LeBron's. Meanwhile in this mode, you have someone like Barry Sanders, who is the most elusive running back in NFL history. Compare that to guys that high-rated RBs in COLLEGE and the difference is gigantic. Not to mention the fact that you have a lot of people that complain that Michael Jordan is marginally better than LeBron and that "if LeBron is a 98, MJ should be like a 120 overall". NCAA actually does this, and now they get lambasted for it.

NCAA flat out doesn't have player tendencies, and tendencies just don't really work in football games the way it works in basketball. In basketball, there's more free-lancing/options. In football, you call a play and stick to that exact play (with the exception of some guys/some routes where guys can break off). You're not going to see a "Call for jump ball pass" tendency for a WR like you'll see a "Post up tendency" for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. That idea doesn't really make sense for football games.

You argue that NBA did it right by having all the retro teams and stuff that you played with. I don't know if you noticed, but there were TONS of complaints about the fact that 2K didn't allow you to take the legends and put them on other teams/didn't allow you to take a legend into My Player mode. NCAA decided to focus on putting the legends in today's game. They just decided to appease the same people that clamored for this option in 2K's mode. Both 2K and NCAA missed out on a big opportunity in that way.
