Also puts you in a tough spot if you have gift cards from other stores or something. Pre-order "bonuses" are wack. Especially when the bonus is you get uniforms, how'd we get to the point that uniforms are a bonus and not a standard inclusion anyway. You buy the game new it should be exactly the same no matter what store you chose. I guess someone will say "oh it's not EA's fault everybody does it!" or "that's just the way games are nowadays!" Only because we tolerate, encourage and support it.

Are you a 360 owner and do you use that for NCAA?

LOL, it's amazing to me so many people have this silly misconception about pre-ordering...*shakes head*

It's still football games, may not be what you're looking for but others obviously buy them.

You must have a poor connection, I play sports games all the time online and usually have no issues with lag. Usually any issues with lag is just in the first week or so when everyone hits their servers all at once. After that, no problems.

Hey man, we actually do agree on something. I 100% agree, this pre-ordering stuff should only occur *IF* like say a month later all the pre-order stuff is released as DLC that is free.

And to correct a previous mistake, I got "reserve" and "pre-order" mixed up.

No you didn't. If you are paying extra for either, you are still doing it wrong...

They are the same thing...
