And I don't really mean that as a rip on NCAA, which actually does a lot of things better than Madden (ahem, online leagues). But it's too bad that EA proved they could've got it "right" in Madden, and just didn't with the retail version of NCAA, for whatever reason.

Because they still had a month on Madden after NCAA was final to continue tuning the gameplay.

No.

NCAA had the same month to work on a gameplay patch of it's own, and you guys decided to not fix the pass rush, change QB accuracy, or alter Field Goal Lengths.

And I played Madden at Community day in late May, which was supposedly 1-2 weeks after NCAA went final, and even at that point it was way ahead of where NCAA is.

You guys need to own up to the fact that your design decision (wide-open gameplay) for NCAA sucked from the beginning, and that you were too stubborn to change it even when people pointed out how terrible it was. Back in June we (community leaders) were asking why you couldn't make NCAA play like Madden, and it was clear that it was not simply a lack of time, but also that you wanted NCAA to play differently. It is clear to me that if you had wanted to, you very easily could have made NCAA play much more like Madden does out of the box, and made it virtually identical post-patch.

Nobody can do anything to change your mind at this point, but if you guys had made NCAA play like Madden, instead of ruining this year with your retarded "wide open gameplay" approach, it would have gone down as one of the greatest sports games ever, rather than a huge disappointment to virtually everybody that's a fan of the franchise. Stop ****ting on NCAA fans with this arcade bull****. You did it on last-gen, and now you're doing it again on next-gen.

Amen...

Where can I find the clapping hand icon at?

I think whenever someone names rosters it does that, I remember it happening last year as well

The most I can do is just reorganize my own team, doing each team individually would take too long and in the end injuries/etc happen during a season so it wouldn't always matter too much

my response to rhombic21's "gameplay flaw" videos...

hey,

just thought i'd let you know what i think about your videos discussing the issue of lb's covering hb's in man coverage...

first things first, you cant really expect lb's in college nontheless to cover top teir hb's man for man ... and for that matter, you cant expect a saftey to cover them either, the speed, and agility and acceleration is way too much for the lb's and safteys to overcome ...

secondly, your videos might hold more merit if in fact the player guarding the hb, what not USER controled? on the very first video you made your saftey take a slight step to the left before the hb made his cut to the right, which in turn created the seperation... you f'd that one up, not the AI or the wide open gameplay engine. Knoshon Moreno has 96 speed, all he needs is that one miss step to create seperation...

i think you just need to worry about gettin better with your stick skills before you blaim gameplay and programing issues...

It's not. That circle is where the replay camera is focused. It's following the player.
