Yep! I just posted on that very same topic. If they're going to do that, at least have those sponsors subsidize the game so it costs us less.

However, we also have lines for things you will do every game. Those are the ones that are repetitive and give commentary that "same ol same ol" feel. One thing we did this year was go through the script and identify the most common situations. Then we removed any lines that were memorable and recorded a bunch of extra lines to give it more variety. My main focus this year was on play by play... the Brad Nessler stuff. This guy is a real pro and is great in the recording booth. I have plans for improving the Kirk and Lee stuff on 2010.

Can we get a list/database of ALL the commentary lines? HAHA

Finally got a chance to dl the demo, last night. I wasn't blown away by it, but there are obvious improvements and it should be another great year for NCAA. By the way, is strafing not working in the demo?

Anyone notice players legs shaking vigorously while they are walking at times? Almost like there legs are trying to separate from there bodies or something ? I hope this is fix...Also late evening games dont always look like that. The orangish color is off setting the color.

One time when I was playing as tOSU, LSU lined up in the pistol formation when they entered the red zone. But when I played as LSU, they didn't have the pistol in their playbook. Maybe they didn't add the full playbooks for each team in the demo.

The only problem I have is that Ryan Perrilloux is still LSU's QB. I almost certain whoever does the rosters this year will take him out.

Ehhh..I dont know..I feel kind of underwhelmed. i did notice that I was able to control my MLB wihtout being insta suctioned. i'd usually have to back the Lb up a caouple of yards.

I just didnt really see anything all that "new"..same hyper blitzes, still able to pitch the ball accurately while getting creamed..still able to sprint out at will with little loss of accuracy when throwing downfield on a dead run..

thos have always been my biggest pet peeves.

Read through the read and you'll see what won't be in the retail. Example is the option pitch IS fixed in the retail version.

Does that happen with movies? Do you pay less to see a movie since Burger King paid a cool 10 million in advertising throughout the film?

Does that happen at the stadiums? Since Coke paid 20 million to be the official sponsor of soda for MLB, do you pay less for soda? Your ticket?

Same thing here.
