Initial sales of NCAA13 DOWN 12%.

Well I guess even with the Amazon special offer of 45 dollars this train wreck of a game is losing sales. Glad I waited.

Losing sales makes it a train wreck?

No. Being a train wreck makes it a train wreck.

Re: Initial sales of NCAA13 DOWN 12%.

I like the game, but its pretty clear that EA just isn't taking the same kind of steps forward its competition is (and by competition, I mean other sports games). A loss in sales is not surprising, given the fact that they really took the safe route with the game this year after last year's bug filled fiasco.

It also probably doesn't help that just about everyone is aware that Madden's gameplay has a good chance to make everything about NCAA feel outdated and stale.

Combine some pretty unsexy upgrades (nobody but us gets excited about new passing trajectories) with a very different Madden on the way (physics and whatever CCM is) and you're going to have a bad time with sales. They also didn't market the game that much which hurt. The only TV spots I ever saw were the three about the heisman game mode, and I only saw them a couple times.

Best thing that could happen in my opinion to move this game forward. A loss of $$$ is the one thing to get the heads rolling at any company, so this along with the negative reviews will hopefully get things moving in the right direction as it seems to have done with Madden.

True, but 12% is usually not enough loss of profit to sink a ship. It is enough to get some fired or into meetings to shape up though...

Being down 12% doesn't mean it was a loss. It just hasn't sold as much as last years game at this point. If they cut development costs it could actually be making more (but that's unlikely.)
