Are people tentatively planning on picking up NCAA '13? I've had fun with this group so I would definitely be willing to pick it up. The real question though, is whether it will be worth it, knowing that these servers will stay up for a year. Thoughts?

I'm thinking it may worth picking it up because of all the issues with this years game. Who knows if they will fix the problems with next years game though.

I love the NCAA series and I think it is way better than Madden however I have issues with the game that makes me thinke EA took a step back with the way they handled certain things.

1. No chat in the lobbies - WTF! The PS3 version was hamstrung and it makes the offseason a real pain in the ass not being able to communicate in the lobbies and in the menus. I'm glad we figured a workaround but it is unacceptable.
2. Gamebreaking server issues - remember way back in the beginning of this season when half the games Would inexplicibly not save after playing an entire game - it happened alot early on (and caused some newbies to quit)- and an issue reared its head again with this years Natl Championship - EA's response a patch 2 months in and silence when problems persisted.

I no longer have the desire to buy the next version on release day and would be happy to push forward for a long time with '12 - heck I may log onto '11 tonight just to check if the servers are still up 18 months after it's release.

I may have a wait and see approach to the next game

sorry for not getting back to you sooner but I left work early because of a sick kid and had to drive to Daytoan Beach and back to pick up my mother-in-law to watch the sick boy for a couple of days.

Any update on the macroween status? Are we getting any closer to starting?

cruzness

I was trying to do the schedule last night but I couldn't quite make it fit due to the fact that I can't adjust the schedule of teams that are not user controlled like I can one of your teams. i really need macroween to get on and take care of business so that i can move on other wise the schedule will not be ideal.

@ Flip any word on his status?

jdpatri

He's taking care of the code tonight. I'll see him on Thursday at the NCAA games so I can berate him further then.

cruzness

If it is around the time we are on warhawk i can step away for a minute and send the dynasty invite so that i can send the invite and he can pick Oklahoma and get his stuff done

cruzness

Alright. He got his code in but never let me know he was online I sent him an invite but it was really late and I got tired of waiting so I advanced to week 1. H he won't have as many H2H as everyone else but the 2 or 3 nonconference H2H are on the road.

jdpatri

My backup QB is Denard Robinson lite. Except he has a much better durability rating. Yay!

flhype, when can you play?

cruzness

2nd post with the entire schedule is up for your considerstion.

1st post is updated.

New guys chose well with their new teams - they are ranked 2,3 and 4.

sauce07

tough first 5 weeks for me

Cruz - Week 1, really? When can you play?

cnicholls44

sounds like someone is scared.

sauce07

Me? Scared? Bring it on.....








I'm in a rebuilding year, the excuse has been thrown out there.

cruzness

Blazzzze was at the top of my list because he texts alot of trash @ me. You were right behind him just because (since I am the fake national champion). He dropped out of ythe Dynasty and you moved to the top.

BTW I heard we may have someone else who might be interested in joining our Dynasty.

Tonight sucks. Tomorrow is CoD Friday or Saturday Monday night (I'm on call on Sunday)

cruzness

Every year is a rebuilding year - just have to reload.

sauce07

yeah, tonight won't really work for me.
I could do it early evening tomorrow. Friday and Saturday will be tough. Maybe we should aim for Monday.

flhype

how is your schedule looking?

flhype

I get NCAA every year, and I will most likely get it on Xbox if ya'll don't want to buy it. It just runs better on that system. That being said, it is pretty fun with you guys(except Sauce-damn you!!!) I'd like to see us play on what would surely be improvments on this years game.

cruzness

Monday night works for me

cruzness

I like the fact that I've lined up games later in the season for almost everyone.
7 top 25 teams on my schedule plus a tough SEC schedule – it should be interesting

flhype

Awwww, you will do fine. your team is stacked!!

cruzness

I looooooooooooooovvvvveeeee my DB's - again
