At least there aren't as many generics as there were last year.

I'm sure it take a long time to do them, especially in HD. last-gen, I think it took them up to NCAA 05 before they got all the D-1A stadiums in.

I really don't want to come off the wrong way because I really appreciate the effort put into these blogs each and every week and having worked with video a lot I know how time consuming it can be, but...

I honestly didn't watch all of the videos. I'm glad we are getting this much information early and it gets on my nerves when people forget the lack of info we have had for years at this point in time, but this blog is...well...I'll forget about this one two months from now.

Thanks for the time and effort though, it's great to see that some guys took time out of their day after work to stay up and post this. I'm hoping that that effort is reflected in the final product.

After reading there was going to be 8 videos and a bunch of screens i was super pumped... after seeing that it was just stadiums i am super bummed. Did anyone notice the revolution facemask that the oregon player was wearing... looks like those won't be fixed I am now down.

Dissapointed with what we got? Yes.

Happy to see the soccer goal box paint on Buffalo's field? Yes!

Yes, but they knew this before and they knew fans wanted all stadiums in. They were only missing 15-20 stadiums - yet they did only 9 new ones.

Last year the reasoning was that the art guys were redoing the player models - yet still were able to add more. Where has the art department budget gone?

Another theory: OMT and the team have more stadiums added, but wanted to get a blog out tonight. Is this possible?

it's possible, I don't think anywhere on the blog it said these were the only ones. but it didn't said they wern't either though.

it also stated that there were over 150 stadiums in the game. thats a lot of stadiums to keep track of and update if needed.

I have been waiting for NCAA to "turn the corner," but I have to say that the information released has been vastly disappointing in comparison to Madden. I don't see any excuse for not having dreadlocks or not having every stadium this far into "next gen." I hope this is all because the game play is where most of the work has been done.
