A normal game, played out from start to finish with the default camera.

Unfortunately its the big details that EA does not add attention to

Huge difference in lighting which makes the game look so much better...but why does it take EA 4 years to figure this out when we as consumers have known that from the start. Sometimes I think EA purposely does these stupid things so we continue buying the game year in and year out !!! Wake Up EA

Just another EA thread that turned into a 2K vs. EA debate.

Ultimately, I think we all want to get a copy of the game to see how its really changed. Videos only offer a glimpse of a game. Hands on impressions from guys are better but I still want MY hands on impressions. There are some guys out there though that have similar tastes as myself and I give their impressions greater weight. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for my invite to the EA community day. I'm sure its in the mail.

I think that was about the "4 years about lighting" thing........

Weeman just bashes EA any chance he can get. At least Ram209 makes solid points. People can criticize the game but can you JUST criticize the things you don't like. Following up trashing EA or referring to the 2K games usually leads these threads down the wrong path.

Yeah. Basically I just laugh at the guys who bash EA just to bash but they stay in every thread about the game.

I'm as hard on EA as anyone but also give them credit when due.
I like what I see so far in NCAA and that's the most important thing to me.

I'm pumped for NCAA and I just ignore the useless posts and focus on the thought out posts whether they are pro or anti game.

Cool.

There haven't been games played from start to finish as of yet, but they are now with the IGN insiders video.

So they are coming.

Pared, haven't you learned by now that nobody listens to you.

# 96 Pared @ 05/21/08 10:20 PM

I don't know Pared "special" should be saved for now. Maybe a better game than the last two. When you say "special" do you believe from everything we know that you will be talking about/playing this game for years to come. For me it is finally maybe where it already should have been, but that road has already seen its fair share of mileage.

Well I am hoping for special, but staying reserved for now. Definitely looking improved. After a few games I hope it does not end up feeling like NCAA 08.5.

Take care

# 99 Pared @ 05/22/08 04:44 PM

I hear you.

From everything I've heard this won't be NCAA 08.5. I would hope that would be evident by now but I'm sure it will be to those with an open mind come mid summer.

As far as getting everything from previous gen into this one? Yes and no... we won't be seeing everything but they're working on making the game as feature packed as possible... whether you're a fan of the features remains to be seen.
