NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

I wonder if this will be the only integration. Maybe we'll see CBS or something. I'd like to see ABC/ESPN2 as well to mix it up. But this is definitely a good thing either way.

LOL @ You guys going GAGA over still pictures..... Just like when pics of the game are released everyone goes bannaas until gameplay vids are shown..... Wait until the video of this presentation then get hype.

Just out of curiosity for the people saying "Add GameDay" exactly how do you see that happening?

GameDay isn't exactly a 2-3 minute segment, I just don't see how adding something like that will work in keeping it fresh. I would argue it would get stale really quickly, I know people will refer me to 2k5 football and frankly I found Berman's show stale about half way through the season and skipped it.

I would love a meaningful pre-game show that focused on the game and what players to watch (hello TV Sports Basketball) but I just curious what "add GameDay" exactly means to most people.

If they did a pre-game show, I would like it to be more of a scouting thing. Have them tell you how often they pass, run inside, run outside, etc. There isn't a stat you can look that up on your own, and unless you keep up with rosters and know the other teams playbook you kind of go into games blind. This would be even better if they added the coaching carousel. Or even get scouting reports before you play the game you can read.

Everything will get stale in time. That Berman show was still nice to have. I ended up skipping through it at times as well.

I'm part of the 100% that agree

This is exciting news! Hopefully we get abc or espn2 with multiple broadcast teams(and break up the current one) as well to go with it!
