had the game freeze on me last night 2 minutes into a dynasty game. hope this doesnt become an issue...

7/24/2006 9:30:41 AM

^mines already frozen a couple of times

I dont like the view when returning punts either. I think the games looks better than 06, but the game play isn't as good.

7/24/2006 11:50:33 AM

7/24/2006 12:25:02 PM

^woah. is that really on the helmet or is that a chop?

7/24/2006 12:48:21 PM

^^ HOLY CRAP

7/24/2006 1:04:26 PM

no, thats really on the helmets in the 360 version...also some other things like on the football you can read the small print and stuff where it says made in indonesia or wherever. they put so much detail into the uniforms, zoom in really far and you can see individual stitches and all kinds of really small details when you go into instant replay on the 360 version...

7/24/2006 1:28:29 PM

in CF, they have the TVs at the top of the steps, which is really great attention to detail imo

7/24/2006 1:55:52 PM

^ i noticed that as well, fucking awesome

7/24/2006 1:59:19 PM

mine froze again last night, after completing a whole game. It froze during the loading screen. 2nd time in a row.

7/25/2006 8:50:02 AM

i had my shit get scratched the first day, returned it the 2nd, scratched, returned the 3rd and its been fine

$60 games...its totally worth it to pay the extra $3 (at Gamestop) for the replacement warranty

Also the chick in there was saying when you are done playing, instead of cutting off your system, to go back to the Dashboard first because it stops the disc from spinning in a smoother way less likely to scratch it?

7/25/2006 1:40:50 PM

ive always done that

cuz im skeptic of shit spinning so fast then coming to an abrupt stop

i never get to $3 shit, dunno why, but i guessi should start

what the hell are you doin to your games

[Edited on July 25, 2006 at 2:02 PM. Reason : .]

7/25/2006 2:01:39 PM

i buy ncaa...open it...open 360 tray...put in game...push button to close tray...play a few games...get a "scratched or dirty disc error"

i think my 360 has some problems but my current copy of the game works

7/25/2006 2:25:13 PM

i have never had a scratch on any xbox games......oh yeah, i don't use discs

7/25/2006 2:38:53 PM

anybody do like me and change the name "NCSU Coach" to Chuck Amato and then change his face? I think one of the first few looks kinda like him

7/25/2006 2:53:15 PM

haha yea, i forgot what number, but once face looks just like em

also changed bunting

7/25/2006 3:03:58 PM

My first season I played Miami for the ACC championship and then when I lost, my bowl game was the MPC Computers bowl. It took into account my "conference loss"(Championship game loss) and put 3 teams ahead of me that had worse regular season conference records.

WTF?

7/25/2006 3:42:53 PM

Is all this detail just in the 360 version?

7/25/2006 4:36:29 PM

^that helmet picture? yes...360's only

7/25/2006 5:27:41 PM

the detail in the game is great; there are still shitty little bugs that completely irk me

A) THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL. when the clock is stopped for a first down, the play clock begins prior to the game clock. WTF!!!!!!!! (note: the game clock doesn't start until after you exit the playcalling screen)

B1) the shadows can act stupid. occasionally the goal post shadows will turn off during the play then flick back on.
B2) certain times presnap (mainly after quarter changes), the player shadows will rapidly move, switching directions to be correct.

C) i can't see the names of players or numbers when I go to coach view

I love the game but too many rough edges.

I had a great bug last night, as on a kickoff - my kicker completely missed the ball (oh..he was about 10 yards to the left of the ball) - and it kicked off just like he nailed it. I took a snapshot and will upload when I have a chance.

I dunno - it's the quirks that kinda make it funny. Like, wtf just happened there. **MAYBE** they'll patch some of it..

7/26/2006 11:49:41 AM

man i got a gripe about this game

was playing clemson last night...paused the game..."resume game" was greyed out...red button and start button did nothing...had to call a timeout and then i could resume game

then it was paused another time and i couldnt resume game or call timeout or instant replay...had to cut it off

wtf ea

7/26/2006 11:51:28 AM

i just want the jersey/gamerpic downloads

you think, since theryre releasing whole 4 levels of games, theyll add sommore stadiums for download

if they do, shit better be free, or else its gonna start making developers think they can get away with releasing half finised product

7/26/2006 12:13:25 PM

i'm sure you'd have to pay for the gamer pics or themes

what do you mean whole 4 levels of games?

and yeah hopefully this doesnt start a trend of releasing unfinished shit

7/26/2006 12:21:30 PM

one of the things that really irks me is about every 4 plays on defense it shows the stats of my same DE. its like clockwork and its annoying as shit.

7/26/2006 12:23:22 PM

^^ ghost recon map pack and call of duty multiplayer maps (2 of which were free)

yea im sure gamerpics wont be free, but unis and stadiums should be

only way id pay if they released em by conference, like all the acc alt jerseys for 300 points or something

7/26/2006 12:45:21 PM

i'm still pissed that you cant "convert" achievement points into gamer/dollar points

7/26/2006 12:53:40 PM

yea i know right

i got like 4000 in stock tho, their was a sale on frys online, like 1500 marketplace points cards for 10 bucks

7/26/2006 12:55:07 PM

Quote :

"^that helmet picture? yes...360's only"

How about the stadiums?

7/26/2006 2:18:36 PM

I'm not second guessing, I'm first guessing...there's no reason for a coach to do this...I'm at a loss for words

7/26/2006 3:08:22 PM

how do you get the rosters updated without actually manually changing each one

7/26/2006 4:20:00 PM

you gotta buy some shit

7/26/2006 4:22:46 PM

where?

[Edited on July 26, 2006 at 4:23 PM. Reason : i looked on the marketplace and i didnt see anything]

7/26/2006 4:23:13 PM

well i guess if you knew somebody with the rosters on a memory card, you could ask or pay them

but i believe there is a "Datel Transfer Kit 360" (google that shit) when, combined with a memory card, essentially allows you to transfer data to or from PC-360 360-PC

then you'd just need the roster file...somewhere in this thread i think a couple people got them

not me...i'm in my 3rd dynasty season...team captain isnt Andre Brown...its still HB #24

7/26/2006 4:27:10 PM

gotcha, so i would have to buy an adapter for that


ill just make em myself one day when I have an hour or so

7/26/2006 4:51:17 PM

^takes more than an hour to do every team...i have them...

7/26/2006 8:53:27 PM

got my ass handed to me in the NC game

7/28/2006 3:06:24 AM

The demo sucks...is the real versions any better?

7/28/2006 3:14:07 AM

Just finished my perfect 14-0 season with a national championship.

I exported my draft class so I can use it in Madden next month....it said my QB, who won the heisman, was leaving due to graduation, while others are leaving to go to the pro-draft...im gonna be pissed if he isnt in the draft.

7/28/2006 12:55:57 PM

my third fucking copy of this game got all scratched up...man my 360 must have some shit in it

7/28/2006 1:05:48 PM

^^ Pro draft means they are players leaving early, and you could have tried to convince them to stay.

7/28/2006 1:33:23 PM

you have to do anything to export em? i think i missed the fucking option

AJ davis has a career year

7/28/2006 1:57:03 PM

^exporting is one of the steps of the offseason if you dont simulate it

ie

1. Players Leaving
- export Draft Class to Madden
2. Transfer Requests
3. Recruiting
4. etc
etc

or somethin like that

and as far as that helmet picture

how did you zoom in that far? i can never zoom that close or when i can it goes through the player

7/28/2006 4:06:33 PM

ah, damn i didnt simulate but i missed, good thing i made 2 saves cuz i knew i would fuck it up

and use the left direction on the pad to get in as close as you can, then X to zoom in more

7/28/2006 4:08:25 PM

Ill be damned if I dont get unsportsman like conduct after any sort of decent play, INT, fumble recovery, touchdown, you name it lol, just dismantled FSU like 49-7 to put me at 5-0 and barely into the top 25 . On a good note Michigan state just ruined Ohio States season .

7/29/2006 11:09:02 AM

ugh gotta love being 9-0 and ranked #19 behind teams like TCU and Nevada lol

7/29/2006 6:57:22 PM

I found a bug thats annoying as hell. I dont know which play it is but its happened to me twice. Its some sort of off tackle run to the left. Anyways Stone is suppose to hand off but he fakes the hand-off and starts runnin to the goalline in the opposite directions he's suppose. Doesn't matter which direction I push the keypad mo-fo is just trotting along and then i get sacked for like a 25 yard loss Ive also seen the computer cheat a little when they are behind. dirty bastards.

7/30/2006 6:40:14 AM

I've had that bug too, but I can't remember exactly which one it is. I had that happen in the damn ACC championship I had the first season with Miami. Sucked. Hard. Pretty much made me lose the game.

Overall I love this game(I'm into my second season), but I wish they would squash the bugs like this and wish there were more trick plays. Other than that, It's full of awesomeness. 360 version rocks.

7/30/2006 9:14:19 AM

The last like 4 ESPN covers have been about how the BCS and polls are shafting me, but never does anything to fix it. I am like 11-0 going into the title game and still ranked like #12 behind teams like Nevada and TCU. I am not liking my chances of jumping all the way to #2 after I whoop VT. Only one other decent undefeated team and that is Louisville. I swear to god if TCU or Nevada plays for the title over me I am gonna throw the game out the window lol.

7/30/2006 12:45:41 PM

Damnit I go 13-0 win the ACC and finish fucking 8th in the polls? I am one of two undefeated teams from a major conference and fucking 8th? Bullshit! Thats right, TCU and Nevada finished ahead of me as well as a few 2 loss teams. Looks like I get to play the other shafted teams, WVU, who finished #2 in both polls but got beat by Auburn for the spot by the BCS. Orange Bowl here I come
