CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS... meaning, I can customize it the way I see fit, then this feature is completely and totally broken. The only way to get CP is to fill it w/ formations and plays I will never use. Nice customization, huh? 2: Freezes - Speaking only OFF-line here, not On-line, but I've had 4 dynasties freeze up at various points and no matter how many times I try to play the game that freezes, it continues to freeze. Causing me to delete said dynasty and start anew. FOUR different times until I finally gave up 3 weeks ago. 3: Start-Up Menu freeze - Download a roster file from anyone and this is what will happen to you. Perhaps you play w/ the roster set the shipped w/ the game, but many of us don't. 4: Coaching Carousel - Another new feature many have expressed displeasure in for a variety of issues. 5: Unrealistic ability by the CPU... come on, join in... you know this song... Psychic DB's, Leaping LBers aka: Superman LBers, poor trajectory on passes... how many years in a row is this now? 6: Height/Weight matter not - Go to You Tube and find the video where the guy has changed all Notre Dame offensive linemen to 5'11" and 165 pounds. Now a 6'0" 300 pound DT should push the Center around like a grown man abusing a little 5-year old... but that doesn't happen. The little, skinny linemen handle the much larger/stronger D-line as if they're the same size. How nice. 7: Brain Dead WR's - Surely you've seen this... your WR is running a route, usually a crossing route, he's wide open, you throw to him and the ball hits him in the melon while he never even looks for the ball. Very nice one there, EA. So... how can you sit here and seriously say you enjoy the game when these issues, which are massive and an integral part of the game, and many are so-called "new features," do not work? If you enjoy the game, fine. Something tells me you don't, otherwise you wouldn't be reading the thread about the alleged "patch."

Oh yeah. Custom Conferences is broke too. Teams playing too few or too many games etc.

Sums up pretty much every issue i've had with NCAA this year and pretty much every year past. Not only do you make excellent points in 99% of your posts, your text formatting is phenomenal lol.

Really? You're attempting to tell me that I'm not allowed to enjoy it?

Ok, maybe that is a little stretch, but you are still attempting to tell me WHY I shouldn't enjoy it.

I enjoy the game because when I play it, the playbook, online, freeze, etc issues aren't prevalent. The only problem I am concerned with is tendencies. And even those haven't been enough to hamper my personal enjoyment. So, to answer the second question, I'm awaiting the patch for that reason.

You will have to delete the downloaded roster file you used when playing that game...this happened to me ..then the game will load.

Here is the video where size and ratings don't matter. Tiny Notre Dame line. They're so cute.

I still just don't get people defending this game. It is not just OS'ers who complain!! I have 4 friends that bought the game, 2 of which played D1 football, and all of whom have never heard of this site. They all say it's a POS and have sold/taken it back or just don't play.

And if you enjoy this game so much, then save your damn money and play NCAA 07 for PS2, because it is a much better video game.

Logic sucks, player movement sucks, 30% of the features don't work if not more! So please stop sucking EA off and grow a pair.

did you not see TJ Jones in the ND game this past weekend vs USF? Crist hit him right in the melon while he never looked for the ball. maybe ea got that one right? lol..

# 848 BGarrett7 @ 09/08/11 02:28 PM

We aren't defending the game. The problems exist. No one is arguing otherwise.

We are, for some reason, having to justify and defend our own enjoyment of the game in spite of those issues.

Don't be ridiculous. All you do is defend the game in every thread that contains any complaint whatsoever. Let's at least be honest here.

When did the NCAA grant him another year of eligibility...I mean I guess since he played basketball at Texas he should get an extra one.

I can respect that. I wish I was able to enjoy at this point.

My frustration level for EA has been gaining momentum since this gen of consoles started and its finally reached a head.

I just feel that as technology grows exponentially, EA doesn't come anywhere near keeping up.

Suction or not that shouldn't happen, try picking up a 5 lb weight with a refrigerator magnet a 300 lb man should easily get away from a 165 lb man.

I have defended my own experience with the game, not the game itself.

lol.. Jones not Ford.. doh!!

# 856 awill25 @ 09/08/11 02:40 PM

To add to my rant..... it is clear to me that EA needs to hire a coach/player or an ex-coach/player to help with player movements on the field, coverages, etc.

They work with Tiger Woods and his swing, so why not do something similar for football. A few different athletes could produce enough variety in my mind that it would keep the animations much fresher than the current canned animations we see EVERY player do the same!

Come on EA, its almost 2012. We went to the damn moon 40+ years ago and this is the product we get with TODAY'S technology. Mind boggling to me.....

Making a video game is harder that going to the moon.

And even those haven't been enough to hamper my personal enjoyment. So, to answer the second question, I'm awaiting the patch for that reason.

Here's how I see it... I feel sorry for you and I also fear people like you, because it's people like you that EA will cater to, ensuring the rest of us that they will never make a game that is good, let alone great or even playable.

If you can play this game, w/ all these issues, and still enjoy it... well, I don't know what to say. Your level of expectation is far below mine and others.

And to add to my post earlier... here are other issues w/ the game, which is probably pointless to post since EA will not do a damn thing about it. We know their loyalties lie w/ Florida State and they proved that in their video where they saw, from right here at OS, that FSU had changed their mid-field logo size and they IMMEDIATELY went in and fixed that, but other "uniform/field" issues have been ignored for years.

As BoSoxPujols said, in Dynasty, when changing conferences around... you know... another "new feature" you will see teams playing 11 games and as someone pointed earlier... as many as 19 games! LOL

Bubble Screen - Did you watch any college football this past w/ end? Because I did... and I saw a ton of Bubble Screens and I never once saw a Bubble Screen happen in real life the way they do in this game. In the game, the WR runs entirely too slow, then when he goes to catch the ball, 99% of the time he will turn his back to the defense and then he gets stuck in some stupid canned animation and by the time he gets out of that, he gets tackled. Usually for a 1 yard gain, at best.

And that brings me to another point... WR's can't block at all in this game. On Bubble Screens, WR Mid-Screens... it's just beyond ridiculous that they allow this type of stuff to get past quality control. Do they even watch football games???

Shovel Pass - Why is this not in the game? It was in NFL2K5 and that was 2004... 7 years ago. But EA can't implement this play? I've sent them many videos detailing this play, yet they ignore it.

Hey EA... guess what? Florida State runs the Shovel Pass and the Bubble Screen and they run them both correctly!

Number Fonts... Mizzou, Wisconsin, Nebraska and many others, have the number 1 font that is so fat it sticks out like a sore thumb. This has been going on since at least NCAA 08. And the font they use for that number, has never been used by any team ever as far as I can tell.

It's little things like that, which I have brought to their attention every single year, yet they do nothing about it. Yet Florida State alters their mid-field logo by 3 feet and by God, they get up off their *** real quick and make that change and then... have the balls to post that in a video showing us how quick and easy that is to fix. Meanwhile Washington has had their field wrong for years despite being told multiple times and all the teams w/ phantom number 1 fonts.

I could go on but I'll stop now... before I get myself banned. LOL
