OS Roundtable: The Player Tendencies Snafu - Short Term Blunder or Long Term Mistake?

[MMChrisS]

OS Staff Writers, by now you have all heard the news about the fourth NCAA title update not including a fix for player tendencies. To some this is an absolutely huge deal and to others it seems as if they are perfectly content with the game as-is. But let's go beyond that; let's discuss whether the string of bugs this year, plus the lack of any patchable resolution will be detrimental to NCAA 13, or will the blunders of NCAA Football 12 be forgotten by many next July?

Excellent you guys have effectively said what disgruntled posters have been saying..Kudos

After this and the fact we are going 3 years without competition in the NBA gaming world, EA has lost all credibility with me with the exception of the FIFA franchise.

The game just isn't worth the time or energy let alone $60. The non-sports games have really stepped it up this past year. ANd then you look at NCAA football. Its worse than it was 6 years ago on the PS2. What other game or product for that matter can make that claim and still expect the public to line up and buy it?

Madden lol. Any EA sports game where they have an exclusive license/monopoly.

I say all of the OS community come together and doesn't purchase NCAA 13 until we've received confirmation that it's glitch free.

Too bad NCAA 12 has been out since June, I'm pretty sure a lot of us have it already.

Definitely not buying any football games next year until a month or two after release. I did that with Madden and I am enjoying that decision very much. Also, Like fistofrage said, non-sports games have really stepped up this year and the upcoming year.

I sincerely hope that EA wakes up with their football games and gives its supporters a game worthy of $60...

At this point it doesn't matter...only next year will be the true test to see if anything will change. EA already has their money and gamers are left with a half done game.

It isn't that horrible to play but the fact EA has either just given up on fixing some issues or just don't know what to do to fix it shows that EA Sports needs to look for another staff as well as a better Q&A team. Maybe some people that aren't tied to a video game site (sorry OS) but that's the only way they can get a real response a genuine response. This needs to happen 8 months before projected release date and all the way up til 3 months before. That way the testers have enough to play through at least 2 or 3 dynasty seasons and play some online games as well.

I can say...I have bought NCAA & Madden for years...An this year Games will be the LAST year EA gets my money, until they can stop using gamers as beta tester and still don't fix what is wrong...EA just don't give a rat's butt bout us, I bet EA don't put up with a worker coming in late, or not working...They would send his butt down the road..So thats just what am doing with EA...sending there butt down the road, I will pick up another football game when a company outside of EA makes one...issues are ok just don't patch a fix for one and it don't fix it, EA WOULD HAVE TO BRING ME INTO THERE BUILDING AND LET ME SEE THERE TEAM WORK ON FOOTBALL GAME'S FOR A YEAR, BEFORE I CAN EVEN BELIEVE THEY EVEN SPEND THAT MUCH TIME ON THEM,
