Xbox NCAA 11 Glitchonomics

I finally received my copy of NCAA 11 in the mail today and have so far found myself frustrated beyond belief. I started a dynasty choosing to rock Dillithium to the max. Four games in and a crazy amount of high profile recruits ready to visit, I saved. Then all hell broke loose. I decided I would try to see how horrible I am when not going against the CPU and the game immediately froze. Rebooted, tried again. Freeze. Rebooted, tried yet again. Freeze. Frustrated, I installed the game on my hard drive and tried again, only this time I looked around to make sure Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't hanging around in a Mr Freeze outfit. Didn't matter. Rebooted and decided to roll with the dynasty instead. Faster than a Lee Corso "not so fast my friend" the game froze and proceeded to do so for the next three tries. Is anyone else experiencing this garbage? I loved the demo and bought the game because of said awesomeness. Quickly I am regretting it.

Most people said they hadn't experienced it, but I have and a friend of mine has as well.

It is a shoddy piece of software. If you go to the customer service page on EASports.com you can either live chat with a representative or send them an email. They gave me an avenue to return the game even though I bought it from Gamestop.

That said, there is the possibility a patch will fix this. $60 bucks for a piece of incomplete software is outrageous.

I agree. I was playing last night and for every extra point (for both teams) the view point was from the opposite end zone and you could barely even see what was happening. Not earth shattering, but still ridiculous.

That happens to me a lot.  I'm not sure what causes it, but I think it might be defensive touchdowns cause it quite frequently.  The game thinks action is still going the other way so it fixes the camera in the former offense's endzone, then flips it around to look down the field at you kicking an extra point.

It would really suck if the camera did that and you needed to run a 2 pt  conversion to tie late or something,

When I first bought it had a ton of glitches. I could only play 3 quarters and then it would just freeze and I'd have to reboot it and then hope it didn't do it again. I can remember playing campus legend and I made an amazing quarterback and half way through the state championship game it froze. Man I was pissed. I tend to stay away from buying games in the mail. I'd rather buy them from Gamestop or another game store. Hope you can fix the problem.

this is an absolutely inane reason for potential issues with a game.  buying a game through the mail is less reliable than buying it from a store?  seriously?

 

as long as the game is factory sealed and the sticker of authenticity on it, its the same.  these arent groceries.  they dont spoil.  theres no shelf life.

 

buying a game from a reputable online store (like bestbuy.com or amazon) is no different from walking into gamestop and grabbing it.

 

no, the reason why this poor dude is having trouble is probably a bad disc, or issues with his console.

I saw packages thrown, kicked, punched, ripped open, stuff stolen, torn apart you name it. I'm not buying anything in the mail anymore unless it's from USPS. I use to wonder how some of those packages even passed for mint condition after what I saw. I just have my suspicions when buying things online or from a catalog.

Yes packages that have Michigan or Michigan logos in the Columbus hub become re-tapes almost everytime. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

if it comes thrown, kicked, punched, ripped open, stuff stolen, torn apart you name it, notify the company and send it back. also, given the fact that half of the descriptions you noted would not affect the playability of a disc... it's irrelevant.

that isn't around here in Columbus. My father doesn't care for college football anymore, my mother went to Ohio State as did the rest of her side so when it comes to Michigan football the only place I feel I fit in with (fan wise) is with my two friends who love Michigan Tommy and Steve and here at Mgoblog. If nobody want's me on here then I'll leave. I don't feel I fit in here anyways since half of the talk is about what goes on in Michigan and there are Columbus teams I like and grew up with like the Clippers, Crew and up in Cleveland the Indians.

I turned the game on, first time since last night, and my roster is completely different! I've got guys out of position, white guys who are black and vice versa. Not just for Michigan either, all teams. All the time I spent tweaking guys was all for not. This is fucked! Has this happened to anyone else on 360?
