I just shut my PS3 off for the night, someone should fire up a dynasty real quick and see if it stays grayed out there as well. If it does, we need to let EA know ASAP so it can be patched.

Doing it right now. BB in 1

does the final game play smoother than the demo?...some of the animations in the demo are a little bit sped up at times which can give the players a very dissjointed pop tarts look in certain movements

Happy to report the Foul Outs are on. I even did a lot of slider edits just to mess around and it's its still on. My first game was against Western Michigan and there was no commentary. Which was really a nice touch. I liked that in NCAA Football to.

Anyway, it looks as if it's only exhibition game related.

Sorry was a comparison question. Didn't know you where not aloud to ask those type of questions.

Has anyone took a look at the sim engine? What I am looking for is the following:

1) Team points per game - Is there any team averaging 90-100 PPG? Is there a realistic variety?

2) Player points per game - Is a guy like Stephen Curry or a gunner from VMI near the top in PPG?

3) All other individual and team statistical leaders. Are the realistic?

4) Poll logic - Is the weekly poll that comes out logical? I think someone wrote a week or two ago that it may be way off.

Thanks. And thanks for all of the impressions.

PS - I still haven't opened my copy and I've had it since Tuesday! I'm so disciplined. It's killing me.

I have a question that I haven't seen answered. Is there any way to get the names of the players to show up under the team you are playing? They will show up for my team, but not the team I am playing against. Thanks.

How is redshirting on the game and are medical redshirts available? Also, can you edit a player and have him sit out a season with a "transfer" like on 2K8? Thanks.

That's good at least.

Not in the default rosters unfortunately. I don't know about dynasty mode though, haven't looked into it. The roster interface and editing in 2K8 was another out-of-this-world feature, NCAA09 pales in comparison in that area.
