I don't understand why in year 4 they can't even get refs and stuff on the field, yet they give us animated cheerleaders.

Well I wish they would've updated Clemson Memorial and put the Tiger Face Vinyl on the glass section in the west endzone, but I guess all these stadiums being in the game will make up for one tiny detail.

My feeling is that EA should have listened to the outrange last year about the number of generic stadia and hired a couple of more people to get all of the licensed ones in the game. I was hoping we would see all of those, plus somewhat accurate generic fields for the ones that couldn't be licensed.

The guys who do the work did a nice job on what they got finished; however there needs to be more of them if that's what it takes to get the franchise back on track. Details like stadia, refs on the field, cheerleaders that don't all look generic, teams entrances, and television style presentation should all be completed this far into the current gen. We should be at the point where everything is in and the polish and refinment are happening as the franchise moves forward. It looks like NCAA 10 is going to fall way short of expectations again this year. The bar keeps moving and EA just doesn't want to commit the resources to getting back in the game. My guess it's because they are the only game in town and the stock price isn't doing so well so corners are getting cut to save money.

OMT,

thanks for the update, you explained why some of the stadiums we not included (SJSU, Minnesota, etc.) any reason why Yeager Stadium (Miami OH) is still not in it??? or will this be a wonderful surprise when i open the game up at 12:01 am?

So lets see to sum it all up, this game will be a failure according to you because:

1. No refs
2. 6 Missing stadiums eventhough some of them are under renovation.
3. Generic looking cheerleaders.

Yep, sounds like a dealbreaker to me

Thank you EA! Doyt Perry Stadium (Bowling Green) looks fabulous!

There is one minor error - the Falcon logo at midfield is facing the wrong direction - it should face the other set of stands.

Just looked at it again - you definitely have the home and visitor's sides mixed up - easy to do since the press boxes on each side look similar.
