And the fact that refs and chain gang especially are omitted are things that are little annoying. I could probably due without refs on the field, but my thing with the chain gang is this. You have media people on the sidelines, but no chain gang? The chain gang doesn't move really, they are pretty much in place unless a player runs towards/into them.

Looks like they will have DB Inside and Outside shade. They need to have match up zone too so that on offense you cannot easily tell it's man or zone. One of the issues with the current game is that it is way too easy to tell

One thing that Tiburon and anyone else developing a football game needs to do. Listen up PA LEEZZE. We need defenders to be aware of the field. What do I mean? If it is 4th and 1 and someone is going for it, and I hit the guy for no gain, please do not have one of my own players go around the back and push this man forward for a first down. It happens moreso in the redzone with the offense on the 3 or less yard line. Stop it please.

Will there be actual team entrances this year?

What's the point of custom soundtracks if it goes straight to the coin toss for each game.

These were my biggest disappointments from the trailer as well. Maybe there is still some hope but, knowing EA, if you don't see it its probably not going to be in the game. Also it looks like the sidelines still has the zombies, just a whole lot more of them, which is fine with me it adds to the atmosphere but I hope there is at least a little interaction.

I lost a bowl game last year due to this very instance. I was so mad, that I cut the player that pushed the player into the endzone for the go-ahead/winning TD.

I am hoping that "post play continuation" will somehow involve the sidelines. If not, then the players on the sidelines are pretty much worthless.


Also one thing that I wanted to mention. Why are there no more late hits in either football game? I know that the NFL/NCAA doesn't want to promote that type of behavior, but isn't it the same thing as Roughing the Quarterback?

I can understand not wanting to promote fighting and such, and that I can agree with, although a little pushing and shoving never hurt anyone, but late hits are a part of the game. Come on EA/NFL/NCAA boil-over the emotions.

can somebody tell me what team/mascot that is that end the trailer? The uniform and the mascot look like they have nothing to do with each other. im just trying to figure out of the player was celebrating with the opposing teams mascot.

Though the video looked great. It has me really excited. I like that Oklahoma State has their stadium rennovated on there. Wonder if that means the same for Texas? Hmmmm And good to see Cotton Bowl added.

Seeing that customizable sounds and stuff.....I would like to import our school chant in there. Would be awesome. But this game has me stoked.

Great trailer as usual by EA, which is why my feelings towards this title has not changed a bit.

Until I see 11 on 11 gameplay action, I will hold out getting excited for this title. If they cannot 'finally' produce a QB pocket this year, along with better DL/OL interaction all of this hype will be a mute point IMO.

Just waiting to see some in-game action, to determine whether I'll purchase this or not.

It's "moot" not, mute. But, anyway, I agree. I paused the video during some of the animations and they looked really bad, in one of them, i forgot which one, the RB juked a guy and then the after the first guy, the 2nd defender like warped around him, it was weird, you can only see it if you pause it in the right place.

What's the point? Well, I don't know how they do things at Pepperdine, but at UH our band hangs around for the entire game...

Meh - all means nothing if the cpu AI still turns the ball over 10 times a game.

show me a gameplay video and i'll start to be more interested.

Game looks better than last year but like the above poster said the excessive turnovers ruined the game last year so unless that's been adressed F it.

Yeah, I noticed this also. Looks like a serious graphics glitch. Hopefully, they catch it before release.

Yup...I've already got my Auburn Marching Band CD ready to go!

Did the same thing in College Hoops back on original XBOX. It added SO MUCH to get to hear the real Auburn band play during a game.

There is a great deal of clipping going on there at that point too. Guys looking deformed and what not. They'll fix that most likely. Ohhh but I know they better fix the way the linebackers line up on NG NCAA on short yardage. It's straight bunk what they do. They line up on the line in between the linemen, pushing their guys offsides and what not, pretty messed up. I don't want to see any of that. Also, FB Dive better not still be a money run in short yardage situations.

I know, that excites me more than just about anything, time to play some Hang on Sloopy at the Horseshoe and Hells Bells on 3rd and long!

These thoughts have been mentioned but as a Big XII kind of guy (and more importantly an Oklahoma guy) these things have me excited:

The RRS is in the Cotton bowl AND the crowd is split down the 50 yard line in the vid. Hooray!

Okie State's stadium expansion is in.

Otherwise, stadiums look better, game looks better overall. Instead of the cartoony look they've toned down the colors quite a bit, which is a huge plus.

I'm worried the wide open gameplay is going to result in unrealistic results with guys juking and doing unhumanlike stuff. HOWEVER, I honestly just want the game to be fun. I have never asked for a perfect sim as long as I can have fun with the game (as I think a perfect sim would actually suck). So here's to hoping the fun factor is back in 09.

I also might add that the audible system I proposed on MaddenMania right after NCAA was released last year looks like it is *kinda* in the game. I went into detail on a very similar system and Christmas Cards can be sent to me later.

That being the biggest complaint about last years game is why I find it kinda funny that the first play you see in this trailer the guy fumbles the ball! Then 2 plays later there is an interception. Just kind of ironic, isn't it.
