My 2 schools (grad and undergrad) have been wrong for 3 and 8 years in a row respectively. 1 stadium has never been fixed and still looks like the incorrect PS2 version, and my graduate school has 2 separate issues... jersey and missing alternate jersey.

At the end of the day, neither is a dealbreaker for me. What does lead me to buying this game every 2-3 years, is the consistent glitches that occur.

So when Oregon changes their uniform more often than kids change their underwear, and a schools rolls out a new helmet well after the game has been completed, the reaction of people over these details is overwhelming compared to gameplay mechanics.

The game has to look up to par and suggesting otherwise is absolutely burying your head in the sand. The reason for a lack of gameplay improvements that makes the game to the standard of most is that gameplay takes much more time and resources to fix. They dont have to fix it until they start seeing a drastic decline in sales...........thats the reason.

1 person complaining about a jersey = minimal problem.

When you get more threads on a forum, twitter account, youtube account asking for accessories over gameplay, then that's becomes the problem.

If the game had jerseys from 2005, you can understand... but how many threads have been made over a helmet missing from the game? Looking the part is 1 thing, but getting 126 teams accurate without flaw is a miracle.

The "gameplay only" jihad strikes again lol
And we go right back to the distinction between gameplay department and the art department.
Like it or not, visuals are EXTREMELY important to a game; they are the first impression you get of a game.

And once again, nowhere did I say the visuals aren't important. From the very first post I made I said that being accurate with them, and adding them are fine...

But the key to any game is the actual mechanics on the field. It's great Oregon has 25 uniforms... yet someone who plays with Penn State can't play against Oregon because the no huddle defense doesn't work.

What do you think will keep people playing a game or leaving it... having a product that was tested properly before release so that it minimizes bugs, or having 400 different jerseys, of which the overwhelming majority of users will never use or see in game?

What does the art department have to do with gameplay

I understand that hey EA isn't going to get everything about every school's stadium, jersey, etc. right. But, what frustrates me is that, when EA obviously doesn't do any research on if they are accurate. For example, my favoirite team is obviously WKU, and have been in the game since either 08 or 09. Now, I am glad our stadium is in the game, and the outside of the stadium, with the clock tower and buildings is accurate, BUT that's about all that has been accurate.

First, I know it sounds silly, but they have the opposing sideline and home team sidelines on the wrong side. I know it seems like a little thing, but when you have attended 20+ games in the past few years at that stadium, it is real noticeable, and seems like a quick thing they can change.

Now, I understand that they don't have our new jerseys yet, which is understandable, we just revealed them last week. But, when, our jerseys have been wrong in the game for 3 YEARS IN A ROW is really frustrating. EA hasn't put names on the backs of the jerseys and the lettering is way too small and not spaced out.

Now, finally, the fight song. It's been about 4 or 5 years, and they still haven't put our fight song in the game, well technically. You see WKU has the SAME fight song as Ohio, yet after all this time, they still haven't even put it for WKU, it is in for Ohio.

Now, I know all this sounds trivial, but I know that WKU isn't the only school, that is inaccurate like this. And I believe that all schools should be as accurate as possible, especially if it is your favorite team. Seeing something not right for teams, makes EA look lazy. Not saying that they are, but when simple stuff like this is ignored for YEARS. It makes me think that all EA cares about is the big boys.

From what I can tell EA cares more about the top tier programs than the smaller programs, like WKU. It would be nice to see all the teams uniforms correctly represented and the smaller things like team placement on the correct side of the field. With EA I don't see that happening, unfortunately.
