Because a billion-dollar game company thought going on a roof with 30 employees was the best way to implement crowd noise for a 90,000 seat stadium... Then laugh about it after everyone bought it.

Didn't they say they recorded sounds from stadiums LAST YEAR?????? Or am I imagining things???

Too disappointed to read everything so this might be said a dozen time BUT, anyone else have a problem with a guy running full out down field to suddenly go locked up on contact?

No peace until Momentum and weight count!!!

There should have been a CRASH with one sliding off the other or a total brush and slip by or SUMTHING...not suddenly go into lockon suction block mode!

Jesh...this is gonna so be a long year waiting for hopefully a better NCAA14.

There is no other game out there that I want to work right more than this. I just can't allow myself to trust a single thing Ben Haumiller ever says.

I wonder if they are going to fix the Big Ten championship game, you know were apparently they can't afford heat in Lucas Oil Stadium and it looks like your playing an outdoor game.

As I have stated in other forum threads well before the EA podcast was released yesterday and confirmed by Ben Haumiller, there are things that each development group wants to implement in the game. However, the marketing execs dictate what goes into the game and what is left out. We, was hard core football fans need to realize this game is geared more towards middle school and high school kids, who, unlike us are not that interested in "real simulation football games". Additionally, there parents, who purchase these games, could care less about all the things we want implemented and purchase the game for their kids. This is what the marketing execs who have gone to school and earned degrees realize. We are a small market and thus our cries will only be heard minimally each year at best. OS, as well as other gaming websites who are in EA back pocket will have to collectively join together on a unified front and expose the foolishness that is delivered by EA NCAA each year. However, we know this will not happen because these gaming sites want EA's friendship and notoriety. So the only thing we can do, is rant, hope, be disappointed, and continue the next cycle all over again next year. Or, just deal...and don't buy the game...SMH

The blur is interesting, could be going in the right direction, one thing thought! He is sprinting down field, then runs right into a guy, who is a lot bigger, when he gets grabbed, he should go back a bit, a head jerk back and forth. Just normal weight and momentum, needs to be implemented! it must be my number 1 want.

i think by now everyone here does, or at least should, understand we are the minority. Like you said, its the marketing idiots who think adding stupid things like Heisman mode is more important than real things that matter.

What they fail to understand is that the game is going to sell no matter what. It's the only college football game on the market. Honestly, they could put the same game out with updated roster and not tell anyone and still sell millions of copies. But they continue to lose their hardcore audience when they basically ignore the people who want to put things in that actually would make the game better.

And like you said, all of these websites want to keep peace with EA because otherwise EA won't give them interviews or exclusives. So you don't see EA getting ripped as much for their mediocre games until you go into the forums and then you really get a feel for what people really think. A lot of these sites, like IGN, have people who aren't even big into sports reviewing this game and people are expected to trust what that person thinks?

It's frustrating that even if you don't buy the game your voice isn't going to be heard because the $60 you spend on the game will hardly be noticed in the millions they make. So you either skip the game, which IMO wasn't a big deal last year since the game sucked and i sold it back after a month and didn't miss it at all, or you buy the game, get disappointed and like you said, start the cycle all over next year.

It's bad enough they essentially ignore the hardcore gamers (even though they promote like hell on hardcore gaming sites where the hardcore games go for the info and are the majority of the people who stay on the lookout for every new article/pic/video out there), but to ignore the hardcore gamers AND put out a product full of bugs and glitches that make it unplayable until a patch is released a month after the game is out is ridiculous.

But like you said, most of us will just take it on the chin again this year.

Basically it's like this... (skip to 2:10)
