Playing against LSU they came out in the pistol formation but playing as them I can't seem to find a way to use that formation. Anyone have any ideas?

Just downloaded it earlier today, and after playing maybe a half dozen games, I have to say it still feels like the same old game. Online dynasty is obviously a huge addition, but you don't see that obviously in the demo and the core on the field play seems like it's in need of an overhaul. I still see receivers running straight out of bounds, this has been happening for who knows how many years and there still hasn't been logic put in to have a receiver break off his route when he's nearing the sidelines? Overall it plays slightly smoother than last year, but it's little things like that which remain year after year that make it seem like it's still the same old game.

One other thing I'm noticing as the wide angle shots of the stadium play after the game, the shimmer of the textures is very noticeable, is that something everyone is getting or is it something with my television? You can really see it on the some of the shots of the flag pole from the far endzone, it's like there's a black wave running up and down it.

We also have school specific celebrations. I think it is on the Y (Triangle for PS3?) button. I know that UCF has the player make the UCF letters with his arms. Not sure the Ohio State or LSU has one. I would guess he'd do a Gator chomp as Florida, or shoot pistols as Oklahoma State. Give it a try. I'm 99.9% sure it is the Y button.

Aren't there also fan celebrations as well?

By no means, do I think this is a simple feature that you all could get done. Honestly, I appreciate the work you've been doing by coming on here and catching flack while answering a lot of our questions. From my viewpoint a lot of people want the presentation (coaches, entrances, sideline interactions and whatnot) more than they want anything else at this moment (I say this because 09 has yet to drop) and I feel as if it'll surely feel like a college football game if such was seen. I wouldn't mind seeing ESPN implemented like they were on the past gen consoles where the score tracker would run across the bottom. And in sake of the demo, were my eyes playing with me when I saw the screen shake somewhat while playing in the swamp?

Ok, since you understand that we still only have a finite amount of time to make the game. We'd love to do entrances, and we are looking at it again right now. But this year we went with online dynasty. People were wondering why haven't done this yet... the reason is that it was such a big feature, it was always looked at the feature that would take away from improving all the other aspects of the game... IE we'd have to put all our resources getting it in and everything else would be the same. That wouldn't sell many copies. This is America... sales are the name of the game, right?

Everyone on NCAA this year did a hell of a job to get Online Dynasty in and at the same time, improve the look and feel of the game overall. It really was quite an accomplishment and NCAA 09 is a great game because of it. We knew when/if we did Online Dynasty the game would otherwise be feature light.... however, we'd get it out of the way and be able to add features for years to come as the online dynasty stuff was out of the way. We took that hit this year and the game turned out wonderful in spite of it!

For the Xbox 360 I think its (B) to do celebrations! I wish yall would add the Pig Sooie chant at Arkansas games that would be cool!
