EXACTLY.


For big features they either:

1) Tell us a month and a half in advance

2) What they did with Teambuilder, when it "accidentally" slipped out about 2 months prior


people need to chill. It's February. They haven't even started the blogs yet.

If it's still in fast forward with zero momentum or physics then it's still all window dressing. It will look great. The old saying... looks like tarzan plays like jane. Here is to hoping they get the gameplay fixed up. Overall, very encouraging. I'll be following and this sounds promising.

This is overall how I feel for the most part. I have to say up front that I realize this is an early update on the game and it isn't the final list, but I am greatly concerned to be honest. Once again I am worried that EA isn't listening to us and what we want and instead putting in stuff that doesn't effect the overall gameplay.

Too much of what was listed is nothing more than fluff really. Where are all the gameplay fixes that so many of us have been begging for? Will the robo qb finally be fixed? Will the Run Blocking sliders no longer have a huge impact on kick returns? Will the defensive pass coverage finally be fixed? Are we finally going to get a sim football game or another arcade football game? Will the cpu players react more life like and the overall AI be improved? Will the cpu play calling and execution be improved? All of these things (and others) have a huge impact on single player Dynasty and sadly I don't see any mention of it.

Only time will tell and all we can do is wait and see. Hopefully EA is working hard on the core gameplay and for whatever reason simply forgot to mention the important fixes and changes/improvements.

It concerns me that too many people are giving EA a lot of praise for this list of fluff because it is sending EA the wrong message IMO.

I keep staring at the shot and noticing that some things just dont look right. Its like back before Madden came out, and a member here on OS was modifying screen shots of player models and equipment to what they should look like. Especially the sleeves on the SC player, the sock on his right foot, the Nike logo on the Clemson player's shoe, and the forearm and calf bands.

Anyone else notice this? I hope it's just me staring at it for too long, or still unfinished. But I cant help but think these are doctored.

I doubt it, never does unless you do replays.

All of the bolded was last gen NCAA. The rest didn't exist yet or wasn't a feature in the game.

To get worked up about things that were already in the series is funny man.

I hope they add CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS & CREATE-A-PLAY! I use the "balanced" playbook only because I like to use various formations, so Id love to take a bunch of my favs & add them to one playbook.

Welp it looks great, but when hasn't the first look been mindblowing? I'll hold off any and all excitement until release.

I know..I think as far as minor additions they are on the right track. I'm more worried about the big features later down the road.
