Well they fooled us again. I'm really supposed to have high hopes for NCAA13 when they released a video last year for something that was messed up?

Hahaha that is hilarious.

- Crowd is dead, no matter where you are
- 3D grass, only in replays
- Night games, awesome, but don't get any online
- Fog, lol never seen it once in dynasty

I also love how the only crowd they ever show is super long distance shots or the same handful of cut scenes.

Keep up the good work EA Marketing

Yes - keep up the good work. Obviously they were able to get you to buy the game. They did their job.

Perhaps show a little more restraint and prove you are an informed consumer before buying a game sight unseen this year. The consumer has just as much blame as the company making the game.

I started the topic and borrowed from a friend after he couldn't stand to play the game anymore after a week of release. I played for about a month and couldn't take it anymore. Not being able to produce what was in this video was just one of the reasons besides the horrible gameplay.

There was nothing sarcastic about my keep up the good work, EA Marketing truly is great at their job and not just NCAA, across the board.

That said. I had never seen that video or any other pre-release video, never cared about what was on the box, I buy NCAA because I can and do get great joy out of playing it for reasons completely absent the back of the box. I still play it. I've played in leagues (OD's) with the same group of people for the last 8 years... NCAA 12 was the first version of NCAA that broke that streak. I'll buy NCAA13, again, not caring what features are on the back of the box because it just doesn't matter to me. But to think that means I don't want to see improvement, or even simple honesty from the NCAA development team, that's crazy.

I'll say again, those back of box features don't matter to me. I, along with most people on OS, are not people who want the fluff. Many of us, including myself have posted incredibly detailed and workable gameplay and strategy features on OS (as well as submitted them to NCAA developers) to help them make a better game. We have been for years. We want the game to be better because we are the ones that stay true to playing it year after year. So far, nothing.

You may be right, consumers are as much to blame as the company, but you're barking up the wrong tree with me. I also find it hard to believe that consumers are the ones dictating EA insert the features in that video or game modes like RTG and Mascot Games. I've been around the online and NCAA community a pretty long time and simply cannot recall much of an outcry for any of these things.

Now if your point is that simply buying the game every year is the consumers fault, well, I don't know what to tell you. I've gone to every Nebraska game, home or road, for the last decade, even during the garbage Callahan years. Does that mean I accept mediocrity? No. It means I love my school. I buy NCAA every year, does that mean I accept glitches, failures and poor design? No. It means I love playing college football against friends.
