NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Update (EA Sports Blog)

We all wish they were, but that's not reality. Games need patches... Customer feedback is a must to ensure these patches contain fixes to the game. EA is listening... It would be nice if people would give them a break and allow them to fix the problems rather than just rehashing the same stuff over and over again. I'm all for free speech and whatnot but enough is enough. It's pretty apparent that EA visits forums to look for feedback for their games. It makes me cringe to read some of the comments here. This is why developers don't want to actually come here and communicate with us directly... It's always met with some kind of anger because the game was not tailor made just for you. I believe the developers love NCAA just like we do and they want the best product possible... Saying things like the testing team should be "canned" adds nothing. Read the blog again if it makes you feel better... EA is listening and they are working on the fixes.

Couldn't agree more. Great post.

It does get annoying hearing people rehash the same things over and over, but at the same time you have a choice on which threads and posts you read. The people at EA who visit this board have the same choice. I'm sure they're mature enough to realize what's helpful and what isn't. They should take comments like "the whole testing team should be canned" as motivation to do a better job testing the game next year. Some of the stuff that slips through (ex: some teams' schedules not being accurate) is inexcusable.

I'm not going to fault someone for venting their frustration unless it gets to a point where they're just blindly insulting people or something. If I get tired of reading their posts, I'll just skip them instead of complaining about people complaining.

It's a patch update thread. It does not appear to be a complaint thread. I'd just kind of think that the countless number of progression threads would suffice for the complaining and the actual patch details and discussion could be talked about here without the incessant negative comments about a problem that is already well-known and has not only been acknowledged by EA, but is also on the agenda of getting fixed. How many threads are on here complaining about progression? I agree that it's a problem, but I really don't need to hear about it in every single thread. I understand this is the patch thread so problems will be discussed, but EA addressed it in the blog.

I wish I was psychic and could see which threads would turn into the same type of complaint threads... but unfortunately I don't.

I love the whole adage about complaining about people who complain... I would usually agree but hey, sometimes that's warranted. My whole point was simple and I understand your points as well, but let's not take this deeper than it needs to go.

I'm sorry but I have to agree. After the initial discussion the next post should have been the tuning patch is out. That's the only reason I visited this thread this morning. Someone said it some posts ago that the thread should have been locked until the patch was released. I don't think that anyone is saying not to voice your opinion but damn every thread? Everything that someone has complained about in this thread, it was complained about weeks ago in the "we need a revolution" thread. I'm sorry if no one is paying attention to that thread anymore but damn this is called the patch two update thread. Yes I realize the irony of complaining further adding to meaningless thread count but it's getting annoying.

I imagine once the tuning set comes out, there will be a new stickied thread. I have pretty much realized by now that this is more or less a discussion/speculation/complaint thread by now.

Come on tuners! Hurry up already! I'm getting sick of RTG and exhibiton games! I'm getting this close to firing up CoD again.

Its been a hard time waiting, but I know that once recruiting is fixed via the tuner its going to be a wonderful time! Do I wish it was today...oh yeah! However I dont mind waiting a bit if its going to get fixed. There are so many other things in life that I will save my angst for.

Waiting for this update seems to only increase my enthusiasm for this game!

I reverted to CoD and Halo 3 yesterday, and was seriously eyeballing Red Dead Redemption. NEED... THE... TUNERS
