But, what frustrates me is that, when EA obviously doesn't do any research on if they are accurate. For example, my favoirite team is obviously WKU, and have been in the game since either 08 or 09. Now, I am glad our stadium is in the game, and the outside of the stadium, with the clock tower and buildings is accurate, BUT that's about all that has been accurate. First, I know it sounds silly, but they have the opposing sideline and home team sidelines on the wrong side. I know it seems like a little thing, but when you have attended 20+ games in the past few years at that stadium, it is real noticeable, and seems like a quick thing they can change. Now, I understand that they don't have our new jerseys yet, which is understandable, we just revealed them last week. But, when, our jerseys have been wrong in the game for 3 YEARS IN A ROW is really frustrating. EA hasn't put names on the backs of the jerseys and the lettering is way too small and not spaced out. Now, finally, the fight song. It's been about 4 or 5 years, and they still haven't put our fight song in the game, well technically. You see WKU has the SAME fight song as Ohio, yet after all this time, they still haven't even put it for WKU, it is in for Ohio. Now, I know all this sounds trivial, but I know that WKU isn't the only school, that is inaccurate like this. And I believe that all schools should be as accurate as possible, especially if it is your favorite team. Seeing something not right for teams, makes EA look lazy. Not saying that they are, but when simple stuff like this is ignored for YEARS. It makes me think that all EA cares about is the big boys.

A'men brother!!! I'm a WKU alum and root for them 11 games (12 if they make a bowl) out of the year. I don't care what Willie Taggart thought, UK comes first and always will to me. Plus, we all saw his "true loyalty". Anyhow, it has frustrated me for years that WKU looks like the same old tired school with regards to the uniforms especially. What's crazier is we go back to the silver helmets only for EA Sports to remove the only silver helmet they ever had for WKU!!! It would be nice if we could get those new unis they just unveiled though

But the key to any game is the actual mechanics on the field. It's great Oregon has 25 uniforms... yet someone who plays with Penn State can't play against Oregon because the no huddle defense doesn't work. What do you think will keep people playing a game or leaving it... having a product that was tested properly before release so that it minimizes bugs, or having 400 different jerseys, of which the overwhelming majority of users will never use or see in game?

What makes you think that we should have to choose between gameplay and visuals? To answer your question, it depends on the player. While you obviously don't care if the uniforms are correct, many players do. To some, that is even more important than gameplay flaws. Inaccurate uniforms may not be a deal-breaker for you, but it is for countless other players.

An entirely different team does art direction than gameplay. We aren't dealing with one guy in his basement trying to program all these things. There are multiple groups working to put the game out each year, funded by a 5 billion dollar corporation. Yes, there's no excuse for the many bugs and tuning errors in the game. That doesn't mean that it's irrelevant for teams to have outdated uniforms, numbers on the sleeves and shoulders, fictitious gray facemasks, missing uniforms, logo patches from defunct conferences, or inaccurate fields and stadiums.

Are the gameplay flaws relevant? Absolutely. Do they need to be addressed? No doubt. But uniform errors are also relevant, and judging by the number of comments on the uniform updates thread, one would be hard pressed to accurately label these errors as minutiae

I disagree. Alabama was really down before Saban arrived. Like Not making it to a bowl game/losing record down. Florida hasn't had a losing record since the late 70s.

EA is trying to get all the teams with new uniforms and not something as simple as a number font. It will come eventually but there's only so much they can do at one time.

LOL, technically, Florida needs 4 new jerseys and a new helmet. Along with the number font, the new SEC logo needs to be added to the helmet and jerseys.

Bottom line, Georgia made a simple font change. Months after us. There's was in game on release day.

It's funny when a fan of another team tries to downplay Florida not getting their new uniforms.

So you're telling me that UCLA's new gloves was more important that UF's jerseys?

Florida is not the only team who wasn't updated. It happens.

Once again, by no means am I an Alabama fan, but they won as many national championships in the past 4 seasons as your team has in their history. There was only one losing season for them in the past 10 years and even that season they were 6-7 & played a bowl game. Not to mention, that was after 3 coaching changes & NCAA sanctions. As far as not having a losing record since the late 70's, ask any logical person what they'd rather have - no losing seasons or more championships. It's all about who's holding up the trophy at the end of the year, no matter the sport.

Plus it's only a matter of time before the NCAA digs deeper into the Urban Meyer days at Florida...academic scandals...criminals...murderers
