NCAA FOOTBALL Corrupt IMPORT ROSTER FILES (EA mucks up another one)

**memphissheik** · 08-13-2003

I'm going around the net reading about quite a bit of concern over the import feature in NCAA FOOTBALL 2004 for the xbox.

Alot of people are saying the feature is putting out corrupted game files.
Myself being one of them who hasn't been able to import my draftee's to madden.
This is just probably the straw that broke the camel's back.

NO LIVE..
AND THEN A DEFECTIVE GAME...

somewhere a sega game manager weeps in the distance.

I am having the same problem. I get the damaged save b.s.! I am so ****ed off that I can't decribe it, except that I want my ****in' money back! I waited all of this time to get those two games and I get this busted piece of ****! EA is crap. They need their nuts squeezed in a vice collectively by all of the people who bought these ****in' games!

Guys,
I understand your pain as the draft importing is why I am going to buy Madden. Unfortunately they did screw up, BUT are in the process of fixing it. Replacement disks are being manufactured as we speak and should be available in about 3 weeks. You'll be able to trade in you old copy on a new one at that time. EA as any company will stand behind their product. Its not all the xbox copies, just some.

I got in touch with Ea's technical support hotline and th is what they told me: Send in page 43-44 of the Madden manual and they will send me a copy of the new disk sometime around labor day(September 1). I better get it! I hate that I have to wait 3 weeks for the real deal. I can't afford to risk buying another game and that one don't work. The game stores aren't going to take it as a trade in at face value. This sucks, this might cut me off from EA crap altogether.

**memphissheik** · 08-14-2003

so I gotta send my game off or what??
all this sounds just crappy to me..
all we're getting is a replaced game??

yep...I'm just gonna go buy Espn football...and slowly pull myself from ea altogether

**MetalSludge** · 08-14-2003

Yepper I am @#$%^ at this. This is the only reason I bought madden in the firstplace was to import rosters from ncaa 2004. I think this is the straw that broke my back with EA. I should have known they would screw us again somehow.

The complete email that was sent to me today.

**MetalSludge** · 08-14-2003

I got the same email today. I think we deserve more than just another disk. I am certain they knew it was defective before it shipped and just wanted the allmighty dollar. I am now done with EA.

**mattgame** · 08-15-2003

I don't want no s4it apology. I want some compensation from time lost while we all wait for EA to clean up this fckin' mess! I missed days from work trying to figure this s4it out! I am thoroughly outraged at their nonchalant attitude towards the consumers time and money. I am planning to do something about this! Watch the smoke, it leads to fire!

You missed days of work over a game? That wasn't very smart.

**mattgame** · 08-15-2003

Listen partner, I don't need some joker questioning what the fck I do. I need some understanding, I'll see you when I see you. Nevertheless, I missed two days because I chose to, because I run my joint, and because I love Madden. What isn't smart is ****ing off a ****ed person!

**memphissheik** · 08-16-2003

At the moment, I'm actually kinda happy..I found a thread on a homemade action replay...
and wouldn't ya know it...

so I'm looking for NCAA 2004 Roster saves that actually work..

it made my day.

okay.

**CrazyCougar** · 08-17-2003

Hey T_Howell, one more post I read with you deciding to abbreviate obscentities then there will be some consequences. We're all upset about the import problem, but no need to display those words in text here.

Thanks

I know CC, I know. Don't threaten me though. We don't need any hostilities now do we?

**CrazyCougar** · 08-18-2003

You say you know, but if you knew I guess you would have never typed that stuff above huh?

Like I said, just telling ya to lay off the profanities, no hostility here or intended.

Yeah, my uncle copied the real names onto my memory card and I got a corrupted file that said copying prohibited. Copying prohibited my ass! LOL.

**mattgame** · 08-21-2003

Is ass a profane word?

Is it censored? No. Is CC a mod that can ban you because your avoiding censors that are placed on the board for a reason? Yes.

With that out of the way, let me get something straight. So I can get a free copy of the game if I go rent Madden 2004, tear out those 2 pages of the instruction book and then mail them in to EA? Hmmmm.....

LOL! Now that would be one hell of a way to work the system!
