When you look at what madden has done this year and the fact that we are basicall gettin NCAA 9.2 with busted *** rosters, I feel that there is no way in hell that we should have to pay more than 20 bucks for this game. I say to hell with the current dev team, and that EA needs to get Ian from madden over here to do some major-*** damage control after madden releases cuz this Sh** YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR is flat out unacceptable.

the only issue with u said is the fact they never guaranteed up to date rosters they've done it for ever but there is no guarantee or agreement that players have to match real lfe

To Flying Finn:
Exactly, Ian's number one focus should be madden, but atleast he could get those brain-dead F***s pointed in the right direction.

this is a good point. But you would think that they would keep updating them, i mean thats kinda the whole reason behind people buying this game now..... since they (the dev team) obviously dont want to take the time and effort to update anything else.

If EA didn't have an exclusive license, we wouldn't hold them as accountable as what we do. EA has eliminated the competition! With that there becomes more of a responsibility to release a finished product. 2 yrs in a row EA? I am not sure what to say.

It's a wonder that EA bothers patching this game at all given the harsh and scathing reception some people here are giving them. They're not obligated to do anything with the game post-release, but yet they're posting a patch because A) we've requested it (some with controlled, polite language; others using a far more disappointing tone), and B) they want to.

I'm not excusing the game's development cycle for playing out the way it did, as certainly there have been some unnecessary missteps (particularly with the rosters; this can't happen again), but if EA says they're going to add / fix content to the game with a patch or an EA Locker downloadable file, and we take their words at face value, does it really matter this year that the patch content is not on the disc? We're getting it either way.

I feel for the people who don't have internet access through their consoles, but for most people in this forum there's no reason to use such harsh language towards the developers when all they really want is to create an enjoyable and good college football game.

After reading their explanation and playing the demo, it makes me want to puke, I was getting motion sickness from the new camera angle.

I thought they hired a new roster guy? How do you admit to having something broke last year and then not fix it this year?

Could you imagine if other companies in America took this approach. Say a car door kept falling off, but instead of fixing it they just let the driver hit the highway without it. A teacher who couldn't read, instead of replacing the teacher they continued to let her teach. It's almost comical how you guys messed this up.

If you can't put out a complete product with an exclusive license, don't. Great ideas, poor execution, which leaves you 4th and Goal from the five.

Very well put! Thank you for this post!

This by far the most reasonable post in about 3 or 4 pages of people whining and moaning. I totally agree with everything you say and if anything it shows good community relations by at least addressing the issues.

I love Operation Sports and this is my fave site on the net for gaming info. but sometimes when I see the childish talk that goes on in these forums I feel embarrassed for those posting these messages. Video game companies make mistakes and I have always been a fan of patches if it improves the product. I laugh because as soon as they patch, half these people complaining will be closet owners of the game and will probably be the ones enjoying it.

Big thanks to EA for their proactive attitude and I am pumped for the game with sliders fixed.
