We could have put it in 09 and people would button through and then post on OS that we should have online dynasty by now. But we couldn't get both in one year. We went with online dynasty. You are entitled to disagree with our decisions. There is nothing wrong with it. Just please don't think this is a simple feature. It is an extremely complicated task. We CAN do it, we will just have to cut other stuff we want to do to make it happen. Will it be in 2010? It could very well be! We are weighing the pros and cons of all the stuff we want, including entrances, right now. We'll put together our wish list, estimate how much work all of it will take, compare it to our budget, cut accordingly, and have a feature set ready for development in a couple months. Then we hit the ground running!

I totally agree here and am very happy you guys chose online dynasty over the entrances or anything else in fact. It was my number one feature I have been waiting for. I dont see what all the fuss over entrances and pregame stuff is about. To me its all about gameplay and gameplay features. Like you said, I watch each entry once or twice, then button through to get to the real part of the game: the actual gameplay.

Give me enough description so I know what keywords to use in the search. As far as which version to get... PS3 or 360... the games are identical. There may be some Six Axis support for PS3 but I don't know as my PS3 kit was jacked by Greg earlier in the project! Since I work with the art assets a lot, I need to be able to take screenshots which I can do on 360 by clicking both analog sticks at the same time. PS3 kits don't support screenshots for whatever reason. (no.. you can't click both sticks on 360 for a screenshot on the retail version... you need a dev kit to do that). But to make a long story short, get the version your friends will be getting so you can play online dynasty with them. If you're like me and don't have any friends that play the game, get a PS3 version cause we need the PS3 sales boost

these bugs are on the ps3 version none are on the 360 demo

1. when your QB walks up to the line. he would get behind the center and all of a sudden slide slightly to the left or right of the center. so the animation shows the QB in a ready to rec'd the snap pose but in between the center and the guard. ( it's a little irritating).

2. during any auto replays, it looks like the replay is so compress that on passing plays, while the ball is in the air there is no rotation to the ball and it warps to the receiver's hands.

3. while in auto replays, when all the player run they look like string puppets with tangling legs moving back and forth.

i love the demo by the way i thought you guys did a great job this year. love all the new animation you guys put in.

and my last game i heard corso say even william wallace from brave heart can't motivate those guys. that was pretty funny

From what I know about the game... while limited it is still a lot... if a CPU controlled LSU team comes out in the pistol you will find that formation if you control LSU. It could be a bug that the demo assigns LSU the Nevada playbook. But I don't see any reason for that. The logical bug would be that LSU was given the team before or after it in the DB that playbook. Actually, if this was broken they'd most likely use the Airforce playbook as they are team 1 in the DB.

Have you checked the entire playbook for LSU for this? I'll remember to take a look on monday and if I don't see anything, I'll ask Anthony White. He'll be able to get to the bottom of this.

Just wanna make a comment on your signature. I have been playing Head Coach at the office a lot recently, and in my first year Brian Westbrook won MVP!!

Yeah I was actually looking for it when I first started the game, being an Oregon fan Gary Crowton used the pistol (and brought it to LSU last year) and couldn't find it so I just assumed it wasn't in. But then playing as Ohio State they came out in the pistol formation and the announcer even made mention of it and everything.

While I'm talking about the pistol. I saw in a screenshot Steve posted of Oregon lined up in the pistol in this year's game. Under Chip Kelly they operate exclusively out of the shotgun. Just a heads up. I don't know why I always notice things like this, I'm honestly not trying to make things difficult for you guys!

Not sure. I doubt it though. You probably need to have your teammates past the defense. If the logic works like commentary, which it probably does, then you need to have them past the defense after the 30 yard line I think.

You can put the chant in the game yourself with the Stadium Sounds feature.
