yes. I don't recall anyone saying it was going to be huge? unless I missed something?

I like fine details as well as anybody.

But when I hear presentation info I think more along the lines of pre-game, halftime, sideline reporting, etc.

It's the little things, that make a game, something you want to replay over and over again. Bowl patches to me, adds a personal touch. What if you're one of these, that takes that 1 star, 2 star school and takes them to the promise land, how sweet is it going to be to see a BCS Bowl Patch on your school.

I wonder though, what about teambuilder? Will the patches be able to go on them?

Folks complaining about patches, there is a key phrase I have lived my life by.

"Patience is a virtue"

More glove options mean nothing if defensive backs turn for the ball before receivers. So this blog better give us something about gameplay.

Patience my friend.

"in-depth details along with videos showing you the IMPROVEMENTS made to PRESENTATION and GAMEPLAY in NCAA Football 12" will be out later this week.

I highly doubt that any information regarding gameplay will be in today's blog

yep, kinda like on pro evolution when the champions league patch shows up on your team's kit for the first time- it's a cool thing.

While this is nit-picky, #28 for Alabama is Dee Milliner, and does not have dreads. I know its minute, but it wouldn't take long to perform the due diligence on rosters for details like that. You know they are already doing it b/c they get the numbers and positions right for the most part, so you know they have looked him up. I think they are just trying to get around the whole player-likeness thing. (I mean, I don't know who they think they are fooling. They use correct, height, weight, position, and number, but then throw dreads on the model and say that isn't Dee Milliner.)

Maybe you did. And it was in fact "announced" since you changed that part in my quote.

Check the forum.

when was bowl patches announced before today?

when today's news was first "promoted", it was said to be an unannounced presentational feature. not some mind blowing big feature or anything.
