Forums - Gaming - NCAA Football 09 All-Play Review at IGN,they give it a 5.0

"by Bozon"

I don't care how bad the game is; I stopped reading at that point.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

you make a good point Rol



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Regardless of semantics about 'casuals' this game looks like garbage.



Maybe it's geared towards the women, college girls, or novices who have never played a Madden.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

It was a gimped version so not as surprising. Madden 09 and TW PGA 09 will have most of those features so they'll be reviewed better.

i think they need to have different reviews for games like these. They're more
geared toward casuals so that anyone can pick up and play, meaning ppl like
IGN won't understand much of the basis behind the simple gameplay...

This kind of thinking disgusts me. Anyone who owns a Wii and plays the console regularly should be disgusted as well. The implication being that if you own a Wii you lack all discerning taste. That your feelings should be protected from big bad reviewers that have standards. That you should only receive watered down positive reviews. Really this stupidity needs to stop not all Wii owners are gaming idiots.

Let me be perfectly blunt you really did not think this statement through did you? Serious question did you stop and think, or did you just blindly go on the offensive to shift the subject out of console loyalty. Football games by their very nature can be geared towards multiple audiences. All you need to make the game casual friendly is retard the artificial intelligence, and whittle down the game book to all of twelve plays. No major game redesigns required. Just put a big shinny button that says easy play, and the casuals will know thats how they are supposed to play. While more experienced players can entertain themselves with more advanced game modes.

There is just no need for a football game that is only geared towards casual players, because it is such a simple matter to design a game that will appeal to everyone. The casual audience argument to justify every shitty game design choice is getting very tiresome. Are you implying that all Wii owners would be overwhelmed by actual options. I guess those sales figures for Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime were just a mass delusion.



Tell the people on the Madden Bus and at all those NCAA and Madden tournaments that it's a casual game.. that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.



If perferring the PS3 over the 360 makes me a fanboy.. I guess I am guilty..

List of 360 Games I would like to have: Alan Wake

List of PS3 Games I would like to have: LBP, FFXIII(if it ever comes), R2(maybe)

List of Wii Games I would like to have: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (It's not an exclusive but it would be awesome)

wow. sounds like they really didn't even try to make a decent game.
