This Game is Shameful

Honestly it’s pretty sad that consumers like ourselves look forward to playing video games and then get this heaping pile of crap dropped on us. Not only is this game bad but quite frankly it’s an embarrassment to video games in general. The fact that so much was supposedly put into this game, all this preparation and we got what we got upon release? On top of this, these updates that are done do not correct or reflect any of the issues that make this game just unbearable to play. After being super excited to play this game I have found myself barely playing it at all and when I do just noticing more and more glitches and things like wrong with it, so I just shut it off. I do not expect video games to be perfect, people aren’t and of course there are going to be issues with them. This college football game goes way beyond any issues that I have ever seen, it may even be as bad as the NBA Live series was at its end, before 2K finally put them out of their misery. It’s time for another company to get rights to sports games and challenge EA. EA Sports has become a stagnant company that has such a stranglehold on sports gaming that it has become this bad.

    I agree with you... What's just as shameful is the lack of understanding of actuall football rules by the programmers....

    -The ball is NOT put at the 20 following a missed FG
    - You CAN advance a fumble on offense
    - A kickoff out of bounds following a safety is put at the 50, NOT the 30 yard line
    - A PI penalty on a  defender during a TD play by the offense is pretty much automatically declined, even tho you're given the option to get the ball at the NEGATIVE 4 yard line...
    - Holding by tight ends and WR happen constantly, and are never callled, yet the holding flags on lineman are flying before the ball is even in the QB's hands.  
    - Roghing the Kicker can happen just by walking by the punter, and even though there's an option to turn down/off RUNNING into the kicker, i've NEVER seen it called in the 5+ dynasty seasons i've played. 


    This is, straight up, the Cyberpunk of sports video games... I'm PISSED that i wasted my cash on an upgraded xbox for THIS just to play a customized season with my son, when i coulda got a PS5 and Gran Turismo, and been happy with only losing the dough on this crappy title... Now i'm stuck with an xbox with no disc player and can't sell this awful game or even ceremoniously throw it into a fireplace where it belongs...

    on to 2k after i beat the TIBURON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE REACHAROUNDS by 50 in a symbolic last game

    i agree with most of your stuff, but a FG is placed at the 20 if it is missed within the 20.....on 4th down an offensive player cannot advance a fumble.

    I just wish there was more access to more UT players not behind a pay wall.
