But all of this rejoicing is premature without even seeing actual gameplay footage. But of course I'm talking to the guy who already said this. How's it taste?

Well i guess its me. I play college football myself for Sam Houston State. And I just like the experience of playing the game and to see these things they are adding this year. Im not the only person excited for this game to release. I dont evaluate games and do reviews on them like most people on here. I just play football. Its what I do. NCAA 10 did suck though

I just hope these are the appetizers and not the main course.

Like most people on here, it's a very good start but I need to see some more to be sold. I was actually a little disappointed after reading the blog as the only changes I see by ESPN integration are: "ESPN" being pasted everywhere in the game, a revised score/time ticker and some ESPNU stuff. I do like where they'll show player stats/photos during the game- that's cool.

I can't wait for more info on this, but I'm especially waiting on changes/additions to Dynasty.

Bingo. Yes locomotion, ESPN, and the new equipment are great - I've been wanting all of them for years. But with the history of NCAA on next gen, there needs to be more to be even more to convince me. Specifically speaking... Dynasty (the meat and potatoes of the game). I do believe that they are on the right track though... hopefully this train doesn't run out of steam (like last year with 3 straight blogs about the almighty Season Showdown).

BTW, ESPN does look sweet from what's been shown.

Y do ppl awant abc n espn2??? Its all the same, its jus abc on espn, only difference is the saturday night football music......we should be hoping solely for CBS n gameday/entrances.....I can't wait for this game!

it wouldn't be much of a visual change for ABC/ESPN2, but I think most people want multiple announcer teams to match those networks.

There's two more months to go no way is this the main course, at least I hope not.

I must say, I like how they are announcing some stuff that people would consider major with so much time before release date. It gets me thinking that all this stuff could be considered minor compared to other stuff the dev team did, considering all dev teams release the major updates closer to release. Im getting pretty psyched for this game.

This could be a great game, and possibly the best game in this series EA has released. But it will only be the best if they do some work on Dynasty and re-add infractions, fix recruiting and add in an Athletic Director mode to Dynasty. RTG needs work as well.

probly b/c cbs integration for 12 teams and 2 bowl games is not worth it.
