jt09,
For what reason? I'm considering going to pick it up today

jt09 · Ladies Man Joined: 16 Jan 2003 Posts: 22083 City: Austin

the lack of updates. stadiums that still have the 06 configuration (granted, that's texas fans grumping about them not updating our digs). player ratings that are jacked up - the texas punter is one of the top 10 or 15 fastest players in the game. granted, he's a track guy too, but c'mon. our highest rated running back is a guy who will get MAYBE 20% of the carries. also, the game apparently hasn't had any fundamental upgrades in several years. i don't play, i'm just going off of what i'm seeing on the ut and national message boards.

I'm thinking I might sit this one out. It sounds like the Wii version is going to suck. I've heard the same thing about the rosters being really jacked up.

I'm thinking this year I might go with Madden because the cowboys are probably set to be awesome. And next year see if NCAA is better and hopefully the Ags will be decent.

Not a big fan of EA gobbling up all the licenses for everything. What they have done to the Nascar and football games is a crime. I am waiting on Backbreaker, even tho they won't use real teams, I am hoping that the gameplay quality will be there. All of EA's football games feel the same since I brought home my new PS2 and Madden 2001 seven years ago. Something needs to change.

Any chance of a roster update for the roster problems? Or is this something that they'll leave?

Chad H, you can download the rosters with all the names online this year and get them from anyone that has them! I just bought the game gonna go play it for a bit now. What's your xbox live, I'll add you as a friend. Any chance you'd be interested in playing in a online dynasty with me and my lil bro?

Amazing how many SEC Teams are in that top 10 toughest places to play. I believe i counted 9. That's three quarters of the damn conference.

jt09, nah, I just heard bad things about the Wii version. It's a retarded watered down version of the real game. It's why it's labeled "All-Play."

Those stadium pictures look nice. Damn Fran for taking us out of the top 5 in toughest places to play.

Cool to see we are #6 toughest stadium. I think I'll be passing on the game this year though... they need to overhaul the gameplay a little bit, it's been the same for years.

Looking at the picture, the shadows are all kinds of jacked up for us. It would have to be about 8 in the morning for the stadium to look like that.
