I thought that was the stupidest thing ever until this year.

Ha, didn't someone say they should get a sponsor for sliders?

Ok well i apologize to any lurkers!lol I wasnt aware of this!

You know what is funny? I can remember last year when NCAA 09 came out it was the same posts from guys on here, about the same issues! I am not mad really just very disapointed. I really thought that this year everything would come together. No re-design of player models or stadiums. No huge areas that needed to be re-done. I just can't see where the development time was put into this years game. I guess team builder and season showdown took most of the time. Protak must have took a lot of time to have 2 player tackles? I really have no idea why the same issues are in 10.

I've said it before, but I think a large percentage of people who worked on 09 were not around for 10. My guess is there were budget cuts. Thus, we only saw minor improvements.

Though I think 10 for me is a must buy.

Maybe^^ I could see that being a problem.

This whole situation--and all the situations like it recently such as MLB 2K9--just shows how terrible the exclusive licenses have been for sports gamers.

Mistakes are made, people are human, and I do appreciate the developers coming on these boards to interact (some brave guys, IMO).

But in several different sports games recently there have been problems at a very basic level that have resulted in the need for immediate patches. I'm not talking about a weak pass rush that is annoying but part of the game play as it's programmed, for better or worse. I'm talking about glitches and errors in gameplay or something as basic as the rosters (that, as they are now, hurt the game substantially).

All of these problems continue to point to one area: quality control. Basic play testing and review of the product. Here we are a few weeks away from shipping and it's the game community pointing out these problems and the developers--rightly--scurrying to put together patches to make it right.

EA is not alone in this. 2K screwed the pootch big time with MLB 2K9 and managed to put out a patch that worked, somewhat, on addressing issues that made the game nearly unplayable. However, this is two years in a row wherein NCAA needs major post-release assistance.

I mean seriosly, wtf is going on in the sports gaming world?

I would be pumped if the game had :

• formation subs sponsored by Coke Zero
• historic teams sponsored by Pontiac
• custom playbooks sponsored by Old Spice
• spring game sponsored by Operation Sports
