I see your point, but I think you're missing a key element here. This isn't a classic team mode where they are trying to recreate a whole team from the past. The point of this is to bring classic Heisman winners to the present day. If (for example) Andre Ware's in-game helmet, facemask, equipment and jersey sleeves were all 100% accurate he would stick out like a sore thumb on a 2012 football field. "Dude, what's with those giant shoulder pads?"


With the older guys (10+ years ago), getting the basic physical proportions right is good enough imo.

I think Reaction time needs a tweak. I haven't played with it yet, obviously, but from the live demo it doesn't do very much. Everything just slows down, including your player. I'm going to be able to do the same things I could before I hit LT, just at a slower pace. Makes the game longer with no REAL advantage. I also think it should be something you unlock. The third string true freshman RB shouldn't have the game slow down for him. If anything it should seem faster.

Thank goodness I don't care about this mode. Because this is just face palm worthy.

I think it's only for use for the Heisman guys in the Heisman Challenge and RTG. I don't think it goes into Dynasty so you wouldn't be using a third string True Freshman.

I have to say that I have arrived at a point in my life that I never thought I'd come to. I actually don't care about how bad this game is going to be (in relation to progressive development that is). This is NCAA 11.3 and for some reason, I'm not even mad about it. I remember being "giddy" at screenshots, videos, and any sliver of news about my favorite video game franchise. That's all gone now. I've gone through the stages of grief: denial, rage, etc and now I'm at acceptance.

I accept that in this generation there will never be an awesome version of NCAA or Madden. I accept that engine is broken. I accept bugs. I accept poor defensive line play. I accept lackluster audio and full immersion. I accept that I'll still buy it and not even worry about the fact that I traded in last year's version, NBA 2K12, and WWE12 to get it for $20. I accept that I'll be there at 12am or 10am to pick it up to play for hours on end.

However...if Playstation Orbis or whatever they're going to name it comes at us with this same effort, I'll be out forever. I'm 31 with two kids and I'm perfectly fine doing something else with my time.

In RTG... You start out as a true freshmen, and maybe 3rd string depending on what school you go to. Either way, true freshmen shouldn't have that ability.
