So, I've been thinking about something for a while, and this post on EDSBS just confirmed it.
EA isn't making bad football games with their NCAA lineup. They're not sports games at all! They're TBS games with a football mini-game included! Why, all you need is some darnkess and a Grue and you've got Zork IV - Coach's Oddesy!
RECRUITING SEASON:
You are standing in your office in the Spartan Athletic Complex. There is a telephone here.
>Use telephone.
What do you want to do with the telephone?
>Call In-State Recruit
You call an in-state recruit. His response is very dark. You are likely to be eaten by a Hoke.
Fall Practice
You are holding a fall practice at Kinnick Stadium. There is a team here. There is a bench here.
>Look at Bench
You see a playbook.
>Take Playbook
Taken
>Open Playbook
You see three plays . Run Middle, Run Outside, Pass Deep
>Call Play
What play do you want to call?
>Run Middle
You cleave the Running Back with a thundrous blow! The Running Back is defeated!
In-Season
You are sleeping at home on a Saturday night at 3 AM. Your cellphone rings.
>Roll over
Ring Ring.
>Throw Phone
What do you want to throw the phone at?
>The Horseshoe
You can't throw that far.
Ring Ring.
>Answer Phone
You answer the phone and discover that your starting Middle Linebacker has just been arrested for DWI. What do you want to do?
>Consult depth chart
There is no depth chart.
>Indefinite suspension.
How long do you want the indefinite suspension to last?
>Through Friday.
You issue a suspension through Friday. Tommorow's headlines will read, "Coach Meyer comes down hard on another one."
You gain Devil Horns.
Seriously, though, I nearly stopped playing NCAA because I got tired of some of the bull. Just let me play football!
