Maybe they shunned adding a bunch of new features and modes and instead concentrated all their efforts on improving gamplay and dynasty mode. Or maybe I'm just being overly optimistic today, I guess we'll find out soon as more info comes out.

People are assuming it will play like Live which will take of some gameplay concerns. The majority of us are curious about what's under the dynasty-hood. If it's like last year than a lot of us will be upset.

If you really think about it though, wouldn't a lackluster "feature" list bode well for those who are more concerned about Dynasty? Perhaps they spent time fixing it rather than wasting time messing with a new "feature" to sell.

I will await more info from the team before I pass any judgments based on some back of the box list of features.

Other than missing info about an improved Dynasty Mode, the feature list looks great to me. Improved gameplay and authentic TV presentation will be enough to keep my attention through CBB season. I would never use a Campus Legend mode, and I don't have time for online dynasties.

I wonder what this is all about? I guess it will just effect Team Ratings and not individual rosters. That would stink naming all 300 plus teams only for them to release updated rosters with numbers for players. Just a thought

I'm guessing that it won't affect player appearances or names. That would be the only sensible way to implement a feature like this since player likenesses are not allowed.

It sounds like it will just be a big presentation bonus to display real team stats and rankings in Play Now. Hopefully, they have some way of assigning personal stats to individual players too though without messing up names or appearances. If that's the case, this feature is awesome. Editable or auto-updated Top 25 rankings were on a several wishlists too, including my own.

I don't think people are realizing just how awesome the presentation is going to be this year. That's going to add a ton to the game. Last year's gameplay was a huge improvement, and if they just tweaked it a little, that's perfect. It seems to me they worked on the small things for this year's game, and that's good for me. I could care less about a ton of crazy new features because most of those end up being faulty the first year or two anyway.

I have a good feeling about this game. If they just tweaked a few dynasty concerns, this one could end up being a solid game.

Not much about dynasty additions which does not suprise me based on the silence. I don't blame the developers. I would say EA did not put much money at all into this game. That being said sounds very disappointing. No wonder there have been no annoucements since presentation, virtually nothing else of any significance, and nothing else requested by the community appears to be in the game.

Thinking about this list today and it seems that EA's feature lists get more and more away from what I think are meaningful implements each year.

I'm curious to know how many teams are on this year's game and if there are incomplete conferences like some of them were last year (I believe the Summit only had 4 teams). I'm also wondering if and how recruiting has been changed and if the customizable schedule has been altered so that you can choose any opponent and not have them decline to play you. Those items, coupled with a better sim engine and more logical rankings are the meat and potatoes of this game that I'm worried about. I could care less about this "dynamic updates" they mention.

Yup, that's what I'm waiting for to decide if I buy or not. I had a pretty good time with last years game, but didn't play it to long because of the dynasty. I'm going to rent it this year for sure, and if at least the recruiting is fixed I'll end up buying it because I can deal with a decent dynasty mode if the game plays good.

Also, I'm with CB. I wouldn't judge a game off an EB games feature list.

LMAO at people bashing EA for not giving us info, then we get some info and they still complain and say this game is not worth 60.00. How do you know that? You can't know how bad/good a game is til you played it. Or at least read reviews on it.

This list of features didn't do much for me, because we already know the biggest new features. Presentation, and motion offense.

All I'm waiting for is dynasty info. The rest is just fluff to me.
