I thought no way would I ever touch this mode before but it really made me think I wanna check this out. Some of you will never be happy, sad sad life.

I don't think the Mods have a problem with guys using constructive criticism.

Now if you are on here calling developers names or just being out right rude then sure they probably will ban you.

The former players are cool......but honestly we already had the ability to create those players and put them in the same exact gear that EA is using.

I think most of the frustration in this thread is do to the lack of overall gameplay improvements by the series in general. As much as I myself love the Heisman players I would prefer a big step up in gameplay on the field as priority #1.

We can always create those players + 1000's more on our own time using the same tools EA uses to create them in the game. What we can't do is imporve the overall gameplay that is something EA has to do for us.

Now that I've cooled off since reading about this feature, let me share my thoughts:

- This is a gimmick, period. People could create these "legends" on their own in the past very easy. Heck - I've done this (my created Barry Sanders in NCAA 06 was a monster).

- Players don't appear to have the old school facemasks.

- I can't imagine any scenario where I would actually use this feature.

- With all of the core gameplay and equipment requests made on this site via wishlists for years (and several other sites as well), it blows my mind that we still have a football the size of a large watermelon and no long socks - but we have....Charlie Ward? Wait, what!?

- Robert Griffin's Baylor green isnt even close. For crying out loud, he is the cover athlete.

Yeah when I first heard about this I was like "hey this will be cool. I can use old school players. Awesome" but now there is nothing old school about them. Im just using a created player.

Exactly. They could have hired an intern making 10 bucks per hour to work for 2 weeks on creating these players. Now its a "brand spanking new feature". Me not like.

I dont mind them putting that "slow down" thing in the game but to say thats how football is in real life is laughable. I mean ive never been an "elite" athlete but I've played people I've been better than and it usually comes down to just that you dominate because your dominant. You here about the game slowing down but that to me is taken out of context. You make decisions faster when your better because most of the time you have no doubt in your mind you will succeed. Im just disappointed in this game as a whole

Man I'd go there for free and provide hours and hours worth of details for them to put in their games. Things that they may overlook. But that others may really care about.

Sigh...

So this is what EA spent part of this development cycle on? I know they fixed some gameplay errors too, but as someone else said, this is so gimmicky. I get it, they're trying to sell games. I just wish EA would understand that if they would really spend time tuning the game and fixing the errors then EA would sell 3x(or more) as many games this year. People wouldn't skip a year or two; people would see the improvements and say, "hey, this year's game really IS better!" instead of, "looks the same...I'll just download updated rosters." EA is effectively alienating their established customer base in their efforts to get more customers.

I don't know. I'm just holding out hope the updates to the recruiting in dynasty are decent. That's what I'm looking forward to the most.

well going to EAsports.com and leaving my impression of this feature (on the trailer video) has made me feel better and maybe the rest of us here should do the same because its obvious they dont read what we say here at Operation Sports..i hope somebody on that dev team sees my comment but they prob dont care enough to look...i pray to the football gods that they are sandbagging us, saving the good stuff for E3 ..because if they're not its gonna be hard not having a new college pigskin game this year
