There is already a former Auburn player on the NCAA team. He was shown in the "making of ncaa 12" espn special. He was responsible for RTG though, so hopefully they get more ex-players involved in dynasty testing.

If they do I can see there being mark improvement in that mode.

This. Exactly.

I second this. I don't know what GOD and PLAY have going on in their lives, work, family and all or if they could even give up 16 weeks just like that but I think it's pretty apparent that because of their findings I've got a better type of gameplay in NCAA.

Yawn. I've said it before. I'll say it again. And I'll keep saying it every time they come with this PR bull. They have had, and I'm sure STILL have, quite a few people on the football teams that know the sport. But they CHOSE to listen to the bean-counters and marketing idiots instead of the designers when it comes to where they focus most of their development. Until I see signs that THAT part of their culture is changing, the rest of this is PR meant to shut up the mindless drones. They can go into a partnership with Bill Bellicheat for all I care. If they don't actually LISTEN to his input, he may as well not even be there.

blah, blah, blah... more PR from the NCAA team.

Yeah, I think we need to be supportive, yet skeptical at this point, boys. It doesn't take an ex football player to figure out what's wrong with the game. Just make it how it looks on TV - it can't be that hard to compare and apply.

Haven't I heard this song before.... :sly:

I'm to the point where I don't want to tell my friends about it because they always question me later. I'm done talking about NCAA to anyone outside of OS. I want to see real results. No more hype train.
