With the release of NCAA Football 2009 just two short weeks away, I find the need to bring something up that has been bugging me for the past 50 weeks. I have no physical proof of what I am about to say, but those of you who have NCAA 2008 can easily check out what I'm talking about. In addition to the fact that EA Sports continually sells the exact same pig with lipstick (save the NHL series), their proof-readers or quality control people or whatever the hell we call them, made a rather significant error in last years installment. If you look in the Carrier Dome, along the rafters of the upper deck, the name Syracuse University is spelled incorrectly. If it were any other school with a shitty football team, I wouldn't care. But this is my school with a shitty football team we're talking about. And would we put it past a BC graduate or UConn flunkie to purposely spell the name of our beloved Orange as Syracuse "Univeristy"?
There's a few things that I expect every year. I expect that I know that I'll be disappointed, yet buy it anyway. I expect that while it is entirely too difficult to run a passing offense, it's about accurate with how difficult it is to run A WEST COAST OFFENSE. I also expect that the player animations will look fine for about five minutes...and then I would have ran through all of them already. Things I don't expect. Radical changes in gameplay for the better. Hating Brad Nessler. General mistakes it team colors or TEAM NAMES.
It's such a menial, unimportant thing, but it just goes to show that even a company like Electronic Arts, one that disappoints me over and over until the point that I don't care, can make me want to rip out my own hair.
Look at all the fans that Northwestern even gets...
