I just can't get into this game...

Skillz - dude, awesome job on the roster edits.

Everyone, great job on the sliders.

But I have been messing around with this tonight (the 20 month old is sick, so I have PLENTY of opportunity tonight)...but I can't get into it anymore.

In order for the game to play properly, you have to edit all the rosters because EA Sports designed a game where if you play on coach mode, you see the QB throwing -3 yard patterns on 3rd and 15 because their AWR is so freakin low. You see 61 rated DE's blowing by 90 rated OT's because the OT's AWR is so low. Sammy Watkins, a STUD freshman WR...his AWR is 42, which means when he runs his route's guess what...he runs them OUT OF BOUNDS!

So you adjust the AWR on the team you are using, but then you see the super freak of the CPU where everyone has 85+ pursuit, 85+ acceleration and agility. We have 335lb DT's wiath 87 AGILITY, but a 210lb RB with 67 agility to go with low 70's AWR.

So I can go through and edit all the players, but my thing is...why did EA Sports release a game with these player ratings???? It's not like no one knows about this, hell Playmakers has been doing this for at least 3 years that I know of, but the same crap gets re-spewed every year.

The thing is, I don't know what to trade the game in on. I'm not sure Madden is any damn good either, because the graphics are awesome but the gameplay continuously gets worse and worse.

In college football, the passion of the game is the OPTION. As is, no one runs the option with any effectiveness. You have to edit the rosters to get the option to be blocked right, and plays executed properly.

The fact that you have to edit sliders to get anywhere near a nice gameflow is quite disturbing, but EA Sports has no one to make them create a better game, also known as a MONOPOLY.

Trade it in for Gears of War 3 if you're going to trade it in and are into shooters.

I traded it in long ago and applied the credit for NBA 2k12.

It's just plain insulting that they would try to pawn this mess off on the gaming public by essentially saying "If we make it, they will buy it.''

I actually like NCAA 12, but despise Madden. If I take Madden back, would I get my entire $60 back? I didn't keep the receipt like an idiot, but I'm going to run up to gamestop and see if I can because a lot of my friends got that Gears of War 3 game and I don't really want to put out $60 on it.

I love college football, I was on my couch all day yesterday watching the tube with a cold beer in my hand. However, I'm sick of feeling like I was cheated out of $60 every year. I picked up 2k11 a few months ago and that has scratched my sports itch. I traded NCAA in for 2k12...I can't wait for Oct. 4th

I didn't trade it in but I just got Madden. Madden looks/plays better but I'm just "meh" overall on football games. Going to get FIFA soon too.

I love college football and hate madden have not played it since madden 2005. But i got so frustrated with ncaa 12 and purchase madden 12 and i am having so much fun playing madden. The only reason ncaa12 gets any play is to play my OD games.
