Does Georgia Tech or Nebraska have alternates and if so what are they? Thanks.

Steve,

Yesterday, you mentioned that you had only seen 1 pick 6 (unless I misunderstood your answer). On average, how many CPU thrown interceptions are you seeing per game?

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

# 3 PAPERNUT @ 05/23/08 10:32 PM

Any updates on the turnover issues (Fumbles, Ints) from the games you have played lately?
Deep passing from the AI?

# 4 BSherrod @ 05/23/08 10:44 PM

How many alternate jerseys does Oregon have and what combinations?

How is the deep ball? Can you overthrow receivers now?

Once you select the roster for Online Dynasty can you upload another later on?

Thanks Steve.

You said in yesterday's impressions that the CPU had a much improved passing game and was throwing around a 70% completion rate.

Now last year every CPU QB always lit me up. Even the most pedestrian QBs could complete 70-80% of their passes. I would have QBs throwing against me 22/29 with 3 INTs, but regardless, I rarely ever had a QB throw for 50% or less against me. Is the high completion percentage a problem this year or is it attributed to poor pass coverage?

just wondering if there were any improvements made to my shrine. if there are, what are they???

such as if you can save more than 5 plays per game, if there is a play list or watch play in full screen. because last year the same two or three plays would cycle through the jumbo tron. thanks again steve appreciated

Just a real general question. After reading your day 1 report it seems like there are lots of annoying little issues with the game. Being a Beta copy, how likely will it be that some of these issues will end up resolved when the game goes gold? While I know it might be hard to predict what exaclty gets changed, how different are beta versions from the gold? With EA sports games, is there typically a substantial difference? Thanks for all your help!

I haven't seen confirmation yet that we can edit class on the roster. Since we seem to be stuck with 70 man rosters again, is this feature available?

I know you've simulated a couple seasons with dynasty so I was wondering how the stats turned out in general. The sim engine was pretty good last year (though QB rushing totals were a little low) but you never know from year to year.

# 10 countryboy @ 05/23/08 11:24 PM

Thanks Steve for taking and answering questions.

How are penalties this year? Have you seen a facemask penalty called?

# 11 gil92h @ 05/23/08 11:38 PM

If you have any contact with EA's ncaa football producers, can you ask them why they rated auburns defense so low?

# 12 goncsupack2 @ 05/23/08 11:49 PM

I saw the picture of the NC State uniforms (gameplay screen). Could those be somehow confirmed to be accurate? If not, is cool.

Also, could you post some more screens of NC State's uniforms (front, side)? Thanks

# 13 baumy300 @ 05/24/08 12:00 AM

Steve, does Oklahoma have those throwback type of uniforms in?

Thanks.

# 14 vick0989 @ 05/24/08 12:11 AM

what has changed about campus legend? thanks!

# 15 Cotton500 @ 05/24/08 12:20 AM

Are Ole Miss' red jerseys in the game??

Thanks

# 16 J-Unit40 @ 05/24/08 12:25 AM

If you were to sim a season in Dynasty mode, what do the statistical leaders look like?

Are QBs still throwing 25+ INTs?
Is there a realistic amount of RBs getting near or above 2,000 yards?
Does anyone ever return more than 1 punt or kickoff for a TD?

It may be early to do this since it's a beta copy, but just wondering. Thanks.

# 17 kmart2180 @ 05/24/08 12:27 AM

Steve, can you hitstick a wr early when the ball is in the air (causing a pass interference call) ?

It was possible to do in last gen but since the 360 days you almost have to wait for the reciever to catch the ball before you can even trigger the big hit. Thanks in advance

Ok. I have my avatars now steve! I just want to see a couple ratings screens for the Arkansas Razorbacks. I would like too see how some of the top freshmen are rated and possibly the quarterbacks. thanks in advance steve.
