However, why do the teams always stand around in a dance circle with 5 or 6 guys after running out of the tunnel? Who does that? No team I ever played for or game I have watched does that? And if they do, then make it specific to that team. Also, getting back to the Iowa Hawkeyes, they don't run out of the tunnel all jacked up and frantic. They come out at a slow jog all holding hands in perfect lines and it's a very unique and powerful entrance. Go ahead and make immature jokes about the holding hands, but it's just not right. Again, it's a great feature...but if you're going to add something make sure it's done correctly and specifically. The only specifics I see are the signs that players touch. That's not an entrance, that's a gimmick.

I seem to be having trouble finding the final results list, but was Iowa in the top 30 of the Season Showdown rankings? I think "accurate" or as close as they decided to get, only applied to those teams. That's not to say every team in the top 30 is 100% spot on.

But I like what I saw and am hyped. What's in is enough to get me pumped up to play each game and that's what I wanted. A little atmosphere to get me excited for to play, even if it's a home game against Duke. The five guys in a circle is > than an aerial shot of the stadium and a coin flip. It's still enough to get me hyped and my imagination will fill in the blanks left by the rest of the team not jumping up and down in that camera shot.

That looks pretty sweet.

Also, it's good to see WVU featured!

Well I hope atleast they were smart enough to differentiate between the teams entrances in relation to where teams run out onto the fields. Some teams come out in the corners of the end zones and some have the entrance directly behind the end zone. However Michigan comes out of the tunnel on the 50 yard line.

However, I'm no game designer, but it seems to me that they could pull it off. Maybe have the camera behind just a few players at the front of the group as they emerge onto the field, and before it becomes too taxing on the XBOX or PS3, cut to an overhead view where the graphics of each sprite can be reduced, thereby showing the T and a full team running out. Maybe cut back close into 2 or 3 players at most running through a handful of band members, then some fireworks or something. Then it's over. Honestly, a much bigger gripe to me is EA HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO NOTICE THAT TENNESSEE'S ORANGE IS WRONG. I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!

Don't be surprised if EA doesn't get uni colors right. Hell, I've been waiting for 5 years just for Notre Dame to actually have GOLD helmets in the game, instead of the off-white or pale yellow look. From what I've seen, they still haven't gotten it right yet.

Thanks for posting that video. I almost forgot how big of a douche bag Rey was.

Awesome video.

But why are some of the uniform colors so washed-out looking? Example---The Ohio State???

I don't know if this was already mentioned but does anyone know if Georgia Tech's Ramblin Wreck will be incorporated?? That would be sick.
