Once again, as with last years version, read my this to save yourself money and frustration including Madden.
I played the heck out of the demo and wondered why the only thing you can still test out is the 4 cheeseball matchups between some of the top teams in the game.
Teams shouldve played like there real-life counterparts for a couple years now. I allow the grace period a couple years after the first NCAA but they shouldve looked into this "innovative" new feature way before the "create-a-celebration" in an older version.
Graphics updates, while they are pretty, only get you so far..they shouldve learned this lesson from their Fight Night series.
They didn't even bother to use new Erin Andrews cut scenes, it would've been better to remove them altogether instead of slap us in the face with recycled content with a roster update.
Finally the big hubub is on the Online Dynasty upgrade, does anybody else not see where they are going with this? They are putting wayyy more emphasis on the online aspect now than the offline to coincide with the new EA way of playing online with used titles only if you pay for another license
I think it was quite funny that gamestops view on this was that they "were for it". Of course they are, we already know the excuse they give if you try and and trade in a copy of Madden or NCAA..'theres a new one each year so because of this we are only going to give you $5 for your $60 title' Now you have to get read for this excuse...'well now we are only going to give you $1 because you probably activated the online portion and anybody who buys it from us wont be able to play online unless they pay a seperate fee to do so'.
This frustration will never end for real gamers until we make a stand and stop shelling out our hard earned dollars right now for content like this.
