Why I as a consumer will NOT BUY Ncaa 09 oops ncaa 10 
Posted on June 18, 2009 at 10:30 PM.
this will be a ongoing series of why I as a consumer...
apparently lack luster games allow this to live on and rise from the ashes like a phoenix. So i caught wind of the ncaa 10 demo coming out today. I get off of work and I managed to get home and download this "new game" apparently it struck me as deja vu because haha for the life of me it feels like I have played this game before maybe in another year. perhaps. july 08? maybe?

um...yeah so I downloaded this game to find out what people were talking about. Take this as no offense. This is by far the worse football game I have ever downloaded and tried. This is plainly ncaa 09 with a few upgrades here and there. Not even as far as innovative as madden 10 will be and involved. Now that this has been covered let me explain the reason why,

For starters ever since the rosters were messed up and other things that are just a snowball to roll down the hill as a avalanche.

-No refs on the field
- the same unrealistic running animations(momentum?)
-the same commentary from ncaa's past
-players running through walls?
- Lack of innovation in presentation?

you know what after this I may never get again a EA person to talk to me on this site. I don't care. If you get offended by this thread and your with EA and the group who made ncaa 10 you know what? guilt by association. This is pathetic and the fact that you guys want someone to shill out $60 for this drek you should be ashamed of yourselves.

that is all.

Cool story bro, I'll be buying it.

Then enjoy buying NCAA 11 next year, too, with the same warmed-over gameplay and half-assed Q&A testing.

thats nice njd. you could actually save your $60 and spend $30 or $40 and purchase ncaa 09 because its the same.

I will say this again. If you buy this game after the demo has showed the disaster of what this drek will be? you deserve every issue that comes your way. Have at it sir

I have felt this way for a while and that's why I don't buy the games new every year anymore. I own 09 and will wait and buy 11 if it's good. Madden will be different this year and is on my must buy list (for now)

Demos are hardly finished versions of the game. I can guarantee the majority of players will be disappointed by the Madden demo.
 
# 7 mastershake88 @ Jun 20
um no njd. we have seen the film from madden 10. this game sucks.
 
# 8 mastershake88 @ Jun 20
i think its funny that people continue to be sold by the little things that should be there in the first place while overlooking the entire obviousness of quality that is lacking.

have fun

In case you haven't noticed this is how it's been for as long as I can remember. Games come out each year that are just a pretty'd up version of the past years version with a few bells and whistles to make us happy. I'm a huge fan of NCAA football (been playing since it was Bill Walsh Football) and I'm used to it. Should EA be embarrassed to do this each year, Yes is madden going to be any different, No so what are we all whining about.

Only the individual can decide if they want to buy it. I'm certainly not "impressed" with the amount of things they've added, but I feel like the gameplay is much better. I notice all the little things they've done to it. I'm having to change the way I look at everything and do everything on offense and defense in the demo and play it differently. That tells me there is a difference.

Now I hope that everyone that says they aren't going to buy it won't, because that will force EA to either step it up, or drop the license, but I for one enjoyed the gameplay (after really thinking I wouldn't, maybe my expectations were so low I was impressed?) and will be buying it.

Don't forget that they still don't have all the stadiums in the game or even the clock rules right. All the effort went into Madden this year and NCAA is mostly a roster patch and they didn't get that right either.

if your not going to buy the game, shut up. The way I see it, it's like voting. If you don't vote, don't complain. If your not buying it, then why is it such a big deal? Go buy Madden. Im sick of reading guys bitch because "it's not as good as Madden". Now if you buy the game you can comment on what needs to be different, and the kicker is, there is a thread up in the NCAA forum that stickied where you can post what you want to see in NCAA and it's usually up not longer after the release date.

The truth is the fact that you compelled yourself to my blog which basically is telling the truth about a lackluster game to throw your weight around congrats. I hope you feel important for doing so. However if you wish to buy the game then why should my blog bring you to explaining what your gonna do. I've heard this song back and fourth. Please First of all I helped with madden 10 along with everyone else to get that game good. Ncaa 10 is a failure because well its the same game friend. If you want people to constantly agree and go along to get along you found the wrong person.

But you just feel like you got to save the day and say the same shtick that 10,0000 have said before you. congrats again, but the truth is the truth.
odds are your waiting for a reply too so here it is for your rebuttle.

what I am saying in so many words is the fact of this. Madden 10 will be good because of participation and people actually at least making an effort. im not "bitching" about the game. What i am doing is calling a spade a spade. if you wish to purchase the same game that is OBVIOUSLY the same game then go right ahead.
 
# 15 mastershake88 @ Jun 21
by the way madden is far from perfect. will there be errors? tons but the point is the fact that with madden 10 there is progression there. where is it in ncaa? in subtle pieces? even most of the mods here think this game is crap. and yeah madden was not proclaimed to be great. But looking at the work put together it is still 10 times better than what people proclaim it to be for ncaa 10.

Look if you need something to convince your courage and logic thinking to buy this game? you wont find it here. i am telling the truth that this is the same game.

and by the way I know they are using somewhat the same commentary. im not saying madden 10 is perfect but damn at least there is some effort I cant say the same for this drek.

go ahead and buy it you dont have to come here and convince yourself that your making a smart decision.
