The best way to do that is to not buy the game. I'm willing to bet, though, that most of those screaming the loudest about this being a broken game will end up buying it.

And if we shall fall to the need and desire of college football...buy this game used and cut EA out of the profits...

Whether you think game planning is dumb or not, it was an attempt to add more strategy to the game. Adaptive AI, fixing major bugs (but not quite all of them yet) with the gameplay from a year ago. To say they completely abandoned the gameplay is ridiculous. Whether you think they failed in their efforts is one thing, but to even start to claim that they don't care about gameplay, in my mind, is absurd.

I will never touch Team Builder as well. When you look on the list of priorities It was in the middle just based on its impact on the actually game. Once again they could have killed to birds with one stone with Team Builder by giving us the ability to add(and i mean add not replace existing schools) schools. With the goal of replacing the generic FCS in dynasty mode.

I think the improvements are to little too late and it is without a doubt because time and resources was spent unwisely. If on my job I continued to make the same mistake that cost the company a ton of money I would be fired and rightfully so!

well lets see...

The community asked for teambuilder...its in. The community notices through teambuilder website that the rosters are screwed up. We report here on the boards/forums, the devs see it and the problem is solved.

The community is watching videos that are put on the forums by the owner of the site, notices the pass rush/sliders aren't working as they should. The devs see the same video, notice the same thing and are now looking to remedy the situation.

Again, it seems that the devs being on the boards is paying dividends. I know, people are going to point to other aspects that they feel are shortcoming and say, well they haven't fixed this/that...., but if they weren't on the forums, what are the chances that the rosters, pass rush, or sliders are addressed at all, PRIOR to the game being released?

If a patch is released on launch day that addresses the sliders and other aspects, is it really that big of a deal? Shouldn't this be what we want? Issues spotted before the game releases and can be addressed via patch before the game launches.

No, everything we've asked for isn't in the game, and I'm as disappointed as the next guy..but to act as though as nothing positive is coming out of the devs being on the boards is ridiculous.

And no, the game isn't broken. If we are going to call bugs/glitches/flaws a broken a game, then there isn't a single game that has been released, nor that will ever be released that isn't "broken".

I dont remember Russ saying anything about the pass rush being patched!

I used the backslash.../...to show that I was coupling the two together. Its seems that if the sliders were tweaked/fixed/made more effective, then gamers could alter the sliders to get the amount of pass rush they feel is adequate.

And I think there are many individuals doing that.

Some will speak with their wallet; others will post more of their displeasure on the boards.

But in no way do guys take it to a personal level... and that's all I'm trying to get at.

OS is better than that. And if you've been here long enough, we expect you to know that. And if you haven't, better learn quick or your stay will be a short one.

These two statements ring so true. This forum has fallen off so much lately. There is going to be some anger and I think that people lose sight of the fact that this is a game that no one is forcing anyone to buy. Skipping NCAA is $60 in my pocket and I don't have a problem with that.
