SEVEN INCHES OF FURY

by Orson on Jun 25, 2007 4:34 PM EDT

Hope that even with steady beta-testing and years' worth of improvement that the NCAA franchise doesn't lose its its glitches, the hiccups and oddities of programming that reward the gaming addict with little unintentional Easter Eggs of high-larity.

And please, please don't lose the best glitch of all, one that should have been turned into a special unlockable character in Campus Legend Mode: the seven-inch tall linebacker.

We're not sure what his name is, but one thing's certain: if Ron Prince doesn't stop calling us and asking us for the kid's highlight tape, we're changing our private number, bayyybeeeee. We've never seen a man with such a passion for midget running backs in our lives. And plus, as the YouTube clip makes clear, he's obviously just a linebacker and special teams guy...albeit a hellacious one.

I thought I was packing the only special 7" team “member”.

Myron Reducto is impressed.

The only reason he was able to make that tackle is because it had been 51 days since the last game.

I really have nothing witty to say, which is pretty weak, but how the hell did someone discover this?

I have been playing NCAA since the mid 90’s and have never seen this ever. How the hell? I really am speechless.

Alternate reality Reggie Ball, switched to defense.

Nice to see Issun has made a career after Okami.

How can anyone 7 inches tall weigh 250 pounds? “Jeff Brown” must participate in 6-9" eating contest, where he holds the world record of 0.44 hot dogs eaten.

Could this be the midget that Kenny Irons keeps in his suitcase?

Maybe Laura Quinn-Hawk can get together with this new guy. It’d be the first time where she would have been with a LB that has 7".

The glitch happend when they tried to make max height 7’ (7 feet). They accidently put 7’’ in the game engine and presto, you get a 7 inch player.

They wouldn’t really let a guy that small play linebacker, would they?

I don’t know why, but that is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time.

Dat Nguyen wishes you guys would stop picking on him.

I stumbled into that game in Season 2 or 3 of ’08. Greatest glitch EVER.

Jayson Cuba is unimpressed.

I bet that LB still smokes the same size fatty as the rest of his team.

Run Up The Score, you are a fine gentleman for saying that. You do me and my #51 black and gold jersey proud.

Dome Patrol baby.

And RUTS, see you this December in the Dome by any chance? I’m the one in the aforementioned Mills jersey and a black and gold luchadore mask.

I just wanna know who in the hell is playing. I think they are Ohio State and Rob Shoencroft is the QB with Maurice Wells as RB? I hope that doesn’t actually happen. But then again, it could be a 7" LB, that Division IAA school on OSU’s schedule can’t recruit very good.

The best (or worst) part about that joke, Oops Pow, is that Nguyen played for the Aggies.

#12: That excuse didn’t cut it when Spinal Tap used it with tiny Stonehenge, and it doesn’t make things any less hilarious here, either.

Great – I just snorted at work.

Looks to be just about the right size to play in the PSU secondary – don’t worry, they may be small, but they can hit.

by PSUgirl on Jun 26, 2007 9:17 AM EDT reply actions

Frankly, I’m not impressed.

Maurice Wells hasn’t broken a tackle in two seasons at Ohio State.

Having worked at EA, and on NCAA 03 and 04, I will have to say that is one of the better bugs I have seen. Sadly enough, the Qa team didn’t catch that, and I know a bunch of people that actually tested THAT game. The general public has no idea how many issues are found in games of that nature before release. But, if you think about it, the QA team probably has about 200000 hours of test time. Now, NCCA will sell over a million units, easily. So, if everyone who buys the game only plays one hour, that’s already 5 times the amount of in game time than the test team has.

Orson, is that one of the magical little gnomes in the show?

by MCab on Jun 26, 2007 12:06 PM EDT reply actions

So is he even a midget? Midgets terrify me and I can’t decide if I’m afraid of him or if I want to just scoop him up and put him in my pocket.
My front left pocket, if you know what I mean.
