Def not a Lawyer so I cant argue that. Just doesn't seem cool.

How many times do we have to repeat its not just about the flag... Its that they are saying they have authentic entrances when in the blog we saw a problem with half of them. If they are going to include authentic entrances, then I want them right. The way I see you guys arguing, I guess you don't want EA to make them more realistic?

I don't want them to change just Miami's entrance. I want them to fix Iowa's, Tennessee's, etc. We're not wanting them to just change the flag because that wouldn't make it authentic.

When I turn on NCAA 11 and play a home game with Miami, I want to see the same entrance I saw at their home games last year. When I go to Tennessee, I want to see the same entrance I would have seen last year. When I go to Iowa, I want to see them holding hands and walking onto the field, not running like in the video. I want authentic entrances that reflect what we really see. We're getting the same treatment with these authentic entrances that we're getting with the authentic ESPN presentation. Its a step in the right direction, but its not really what it should be.

This thread has really taken a turn for the worse.

Can we just all agree that people get enjoyment out of different things in the game and are therefore more inclined to expect/care about more accuracy in certain areas? For some people, it's uniforms, for others it's equipment, for others it's presentation, etc. Canes [and others] happens to want his team to have a 100% accurate representation of their entrance in the game. It seems a little hypocritical to criticize his desire for that accuracy and then turn around and complain about any other aspect of the game.

I would hope that others wouldn't chastise you for wanting EA to get the part of the game that you care about more than others right, and I wouldn't want any of you to criticize others just because they see something as more important than you. We all like different things about the game, and it's fine. Frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

That said, I am not expecting EA to have many of the entrances this year dead on as they're only going to get a fraction of all of the entrances in the game. However, that does not excuse them from making mistakes. If you're going to take the time to do a specific team's entrance, why not spend the extra time or little bit of extra effort to nail it? It can be done, and in this case it's something as simple as the flag he's carrying. Maybe this was a choice EA made intentionally for whatever reason or maybe they know something we don't about what Miami plans to do for their entrance in the upcoming season, but if not then there is really no excuse for not having it exactly right other than simply ignoring the details, which there really is no excuse for.

Thank you for understanding it Lava. I just want EA to get their entrances correct. They have Miami's right for the most part with the smoke and helmet. But the team comes out behind Sebastian who comes out behind the cheerleaders with the flags. Sebastian didn't carry the flag last year and I don't think he did the year before either. Yet, in EA's entrance there are no cheerleaders leading it apparently and Sebastian is carrying a flag thats not even used in our entrance.

Also, I am not just for them to just fix Miami's. I am just using Miami's entrance as an example because its what I know best. I've already made some mistakes with Texas' entrance because I don't know too much about it. So, its best for me to just use Miami and Iowa as examples because I know their entrances are wrong for certain.

Canes I understand that different people like different things, I cant tell you what you should and shouldn't bring to others attention. At the same time you should know it is still being picky as 77+ teams are with out an unique entrance of their own. I believe some of those teams in the vid were generic. I also believe EA did not put in every single detail to save space or time. ex Notre Dame may touch the "play like a champion sign" but enter the field the same as 60 other teams. Wisc and Penn st also look as though theirs might be similar.

Oh yea you never answered my question: Since you are good with percentages what is 2(UM & Iowa) out of 120 = ? then subtract 70% from that because they got that much right for UM?!?! You stated dreads were less than 20%.

[canes21]

I understand that a lot of teams are without entrances, but if they are going to ad entrances to a select few teams over every team, then get them accurate. If they were adding in 120 entrances this year, I would be happy with Miami's current entrance. But when they are adding around 30 entrances, then I think that Miami and others entrances should be a lot more accurate than they are.

Also, I can't really answer your question because I don't understand it completely. And 2 of 120 is around .017%. But why do I want to subtract 70% from that? 70% of what?

What are you trying to get at with your question?

You said dreads were on less than 20% of players and it is picky to argue for them. I don't see how you cant see arguing for .017% is not being picky. Lol I've ask for dreads, backflaps, shoes, colored visor tabs haha. In the end I know I'm being picky. I watched the video again and all I can think about is
