That is what this game is severly laking in my estimation. Bring the very essence of college football to life, and adding "fuel to the fire" would be something that I would think they'd want to do. However the crowds, the bands, and the presentation is just...well...there. No real excitement, when the band plays they don't even sound like they want to be there. The presentation is obviously laking, something that has been pounded to death so thats all I'll say about that.

So in the end, we are left with, well, the ONLY college football game out there, and for us College Football fans, are alomst forced to like it whether we do our not. It's a good game, and an improvement (at least on the field) from last year, but EA really needs to understand the true essence of college football. And once they do, for the sake of humanity, please implement that into your game for once.
I'm guessing this will be In the Game next year as this year's Madden is all about atmosphere/presentation. I'm guessing NCAA just doesn't get much in the way of development money and just gets hand me down features from Madden each year.

I agree. I honestly like it better than last year. Are there things I wish were in there? Sure. Situational subs, for one. I'm happy with the graphics. I think the game plays appreciably faster than last year. Seems like the weather channel live feed works for me for the first time. I'm happy with it.

I feel like all of EA's games are lacking in the presentation department and when we call them out and say "the presentation is lacking" EA responds with flashy menus, hyping up Erin Andrews and implementing college bands for the first minute and a half of the game.

Presentation goes much deeper as it is something you experience constantly throughout a game, whether it is during a game, after a game, while I’m in my dynasty screen, wherever part of the game you are in. Presentation is essentially a meter for one to measure a games longevity.

Here's are some presentation ideas.

-I agree that the dynasty should be run through a coach’s perspective similar to College Hoops 2K8

-There has to be more stat overlays during the game. NCAA football 10 has the ability to record all kinds of crazy stats. Stop making us dig up these statistics through menus and display them mostly during games.

- (This is the most frustrating thing of all) Pleeeeeeease use ESPN integration properly. Having access and the ability to use ESPN in your games should be a no brainer when it comes to how you want to use them.

Most people relate to all sports by watching them on TV, specifically ESPN, so why is there a lack of ESPN staples? Here are some ESPN Ideas…

-Weekly top ten plays with videos broken down by ESPN commentators

-Actual ESPN college football writers writing columns throughout the season about events occurring throughout your dynasty

-I should be able to go to sportscenter in my dynasty and view highlights of that weeks games

-After a big upset victory my coach should be invited to ESPN for a phone interview on FIRST TAKE (it’s an early morning ESPN show) or something to that equivalent.

-During the Bowl Championships Jim Rome should do his "Here's what I'm burning on segment" on the Bowl matchups and the superstar players that are involved.

In my opinion, its little things like this that give a game life and longevity. Playing from a coaches perspective in your dynasty and having ESPN integrated properly would make the game so much more enjoyable on so many different levels.
