So far what EA has released has me pretty pumped up, especially because I passed on last years title, but does anyone know if we'll get bowl patches back into the game. Extremely minor I know but it's just another thing that adds more realism to the game.

It would be great to have a live ticker updating you on out of town scores. Hope this gets in.

Also, I enjoyed in last gen when they showed conference standings before the game - highlighting the importance of the game you are about to play.

But so far so good...

I think the last game to have that feature was NCAA 2001 on PS1(I think that was the last PS1 NCAA). I don't recall that being there in any of the PS2/Xbox versions.

I would love that, but I don't really see it happening. just the way dynasty mode scheduling/simming is done, not sure if it would be easy to do, plus with Online Dynasty, well that should be obvious why.

Has me ready to play this one, especially since I skipped on last season.

Sure hope so..it adds a bit of variety - shows that the game is more special.

Also, it would be good if games between smaller schools would be a ESPN Radio type broadcast.

I was sure NCAA 04 or 06 had it. I know for sure it was in Madden 06

I could be wrong. I still play '06 and '04 every now and then to continue some great dynasties I had with them, but I don't recall either having "live" updates of other game's scores during your game. I'll have to double check sometime.

It's there; game scheduled before and around the same time as user controlled games would be simmed before the user can start their game. The scores of those simmed games would be shown during the users game based on what quarter they were in and whenever the game was paused.
