SMH, really? I'd be embarrassed to show this.

The video wasn't great but for the first time in a long time they actually showed raw gameplay footage before release day. We usually get those closeups to cover up stuff.

They need to just have a CPU vs. CPU game running on Heisman or AA. A bad player playing on Varsity only shows us poor AI and bad human choices.

Boring and lifeless per the usual EA Sports game atmosphere. I try to be fair and respectful, but calling the commentary embarrassing is about the kindest thing I can say. Studio updates are also boring and poorly put together.

Reminds me of a broom I use in my garage to sweep grass clippings off of my sidewalk. The stick broke apart from the brush, so I need to use duct tape to keep it together, until it falls off again. Pretty much encompasses the whole EA NCAA series.

DT issue was a game killer for me last year in Madden, looks like it wasn't really addressed in NCAA. Bah!

Well, I'm definitely reconsidering my pre-order now. That video looks just like NCAA 12. I may just cancel (or take a step out of my box and move the money towards FIFA, even though I don't know much about soccer) and wait to pick this up when it's on sale for $29.99 around Christmas.

God I hope pass trajectories work. That is what has me most excited. I been bitching about trajectories for years.

This is the kind of hyperbole we don't need in these discussions.

Over the years I have come to think the same thing about all EA Sports games. They seem to do the bare minimum in so many areas and act like they have done something great. I just flat out don't get it, it's mind boggling at times.
