I still have worries that the crowd noise is still messed up but again, this was a 1 minute teaser vid. What concerns me is the lack of info.....last year the guys from EA were doing video podcasts where they were showing off what they had accomplished. I expected them to do the same given that they finally got to put the infinity engine in but so far there's been nothing. I don't want to read too much into how they've released info on the game this year but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. The demo will tell the tale.

The crowd noise doesn't bother me one bit...I listen to music while I play anyway. But I get that people want more. The NBA Live 10 video shows that EA has the ability to not suck in this category.


Sort of agree on the info. The recruiting updates I really like. They aren't game changing but they are very much value added. Some people have blasted them (seems most have) but I thought they were pretty cool. However, core gameplay is the heart of any sports game. I can (and have) looked past most small issues if the core gameplay is solid. NCAA Football core gameplay over the last 5 years has been lacking. Line play especially. The gimicky features they add with each years new release (than subsequently get rid of or bail on) has really grown old.

I love college football though. When/if they can clean up line interactions, implement a real physics engine, and for god sakes, make the football smaller than a microwave oven, I'm very interested.

Everything looks good to me (barring that horrible screen call + the way the defense reacted)...... But where is the infinity engine???? im confused???? it looks like scripted tackles all over again???

[AlreadyKnoJ]

yeah im also pissed about these crappy replay angles. Can we get to true to broadcast replay angles, something that actually makes you want to watch the replays???? smh Im no game designer but i dont think thats too much to ask!!!

And can we get the crowd to explode when their team scores??? jesus is that to hard to ask?? might just take my preorder and not buy the game smh..

Watch the play before the screen pass.....after the runner goes down you'll see two guys' momentum (one A&M, one LSU) lead them to trip over the runner. It's there.

I think the best way to get a feel for the new engine will be by playing the game.....will have to wait for the demo for that.

I'm with you on loving college football....the reason I harp on the crowd noise is that there's nothing like the college atmosphere and the crowd is a big part of that come game time.

If the EA guys read the forums here the one thing I would tell them is that you may see a lot of negativity here but that's because there are a lot of people who care about this franchise and want to be pre-ordering the game and playing it until carpal tunnel syndrome sets in.

I saw Rice getting smashed 21-7 by FCS West. LOL Hope we can remove those teams I can't stand those FCS names.

If this physics engine is done correctly, I am looking forward to finally being able to run power backs and not always have to rely on speed speed speed.
