They are on our radar like every year. Though create a sign is probably very very low on the list.

One idea we've bounced around for a create a sign like feature is where a section of a crowd gets a colored sign and they hold them all up at once and it spells something like "Go Team" or whatever the user wants it to say. I think that is cooler than what we did last gen.

I agree on the create a sign, both being low priority and your way being better. But I can't understand the loss of create a school, create a playbook and FCS teams. You already have some of the FCS teams rated for the last gen systems and these things have been missing for two years running, so "time constraints" would seem to not be the issue.

Did someone just decide to leave them out or is there more to it than that?

OMT,

I would REALLY like to see the Create a playbook feature back in there. This was one of my favorite things when it came out. I loved the fact that this option was in there. I thought it made the game fantastic!! Just a suggestion from a loyal fan!!

16 pages is quite a bit to read through... I hope this isn't a dumb question, but where do you get the patches from???

Do they upload to your PS3 automatically when they do come out? Is there a site you go to get them???

Just curious...

If someone could PM me, it'd be appreciated.

When the patch is available, the next time you go to load the game from XMB on the PS3, you will be prompted to download the "latest version" of the game, which is the patch.

Yeah.. pretty much. Just like any feature, FCS schools is something we consider adding every year but has to be judged within budget and scope of the game. It hasn't fit into the plans for the last three years. If it was going to be done, I personally would be the designer assigned the task as it is my area of the game.

At the end of the day, we have a game to put out in July. So we can't do everything we want to. It is the same for create a school. We want both of these things, however every year there has been stuff we want more.
