NCAA Football 09 Has a Shitload of Problems

Owen Good writes:

"I have the game but I have not played it intensively enough to discover these issues. But if these issues are on the level and, worse, if some gameplay mechanics are not patchable, then it's an almost unforgivable shame. Especially regarding sliders - how can something like that get through QA? How can the super-sim glitch go unnoticed?"

I made that decision after Madden 2005. That and I've grown tired of the same ole stuff annually. Since the inception of Madden I've eagerly and happily paid for each new installment. Buying several other sports titles either annually or bi-annually for over a decade. But when you're left paying top dollar for this annual titles that never really change, just tack some extra trivial features, at some point you realize it's nothing but a waste of money. Then to key in other factors like the dwindling quality of said titles and it's a no brainer.

firmware disaster huh?

You mean the whole week where the firmware wasn't available because it was pulled the first day and immediately after people started having problems?

Or the fact that people built it up as a mythical thing and were disappointed when it only delivered on 99% of what it promised?

For true problems, refer to: The Red Ring Fiasco 2006-2007 or The Great LIVE Death of Winter 2007.

The red-ring fiasco is still going on. My Elite is being operated on as we speak. I patiently wait for the UPS guy to knok on my door with good news.

I know it's still an issue. A 360 I bought for my little bro (fire sale ahoy) got it. But I tried to be fair and pinpoint the time period of highest failures, thereby cutting down on the fanboy whining of "but..but..they fixed it!" and them mumbling things about "Falcon" or "Jasper" or whatever MS wants to call their new hardware revisions.

4 - Well
It is an EA game...

Madden hasn't been good since '04, NCAA since '06 on the xbox.

But, essentially, no football game has ever been as good as NFL 2k5, which is unfortunate. EA can't even steal all those feature and integrate them...

NFL Blitz.

No football game will ever be as good as the original NFL Blitz for the PS1 and N64.

5 - Why people buy NCAA is beyond me.
I used to buy NCAA football. I quit because year after year I would purchase it then end up never playing it again because Madden was released so soon after. NCAA never really had a hold on me because it just seemed a bit too arcade like in certain aspects. Impossible to stop anyone on defense. Became basically who could use the time up better in a drive and then score in the last min or two. This coupled with the fact that EA's football titles have declined in quality year after year. If anything rent NCAA then take it back when Madden is released. Really is no excuse for bugs in this game when all they do is tweak a previous engine to make it. Should be a pretty flawless piece of software considering how it's a yearly release.

Well I don't buy EA football games myself, because I refuse to support their half-assed sports games. But people buy NCAA because they love college football. Duh?
