Got that right...

You can't write this on a message board and not get hammered. It might get taken out of context.

I added this to my signature as a joke.

Our AI is pretty impressive though. It will never be perfect... cause when you perfect computer AI, the computer starts to teach itself. Since computers are so fast, within 3 days the game will have turned all your household appliances against you. Within a month it will have already taken over all the missile systems in the world and destroyed humanity. We don't want that to happen, do we?

Regarding the return of entrances in the future, for me the thing that kept them fresh (I believe it was in NCAA '06) was showing team and/or player stats at that point in the season when focusing on a specific player. To me that never really gets old as it's always interesting to see how my guys are doing.

I can't seem to finish a game in the demo in 2-player head-to-head mode... it always locks up at the start of the second quarter; both times I tried were night games, myself as LSU and my brother as tOSU.

Entrances are a nice touch..but I mean if it's that hard to put in I'd rather they look elsewhere to be honest. Maybe they could just enhance the commentary in the pre game, or at halftime/post game a bit? Would that be easier?

I agree entrances would be great but if it's do hard i would rather them do other things like better commentary in the pre game, or at halftime/post game. And maybe work on the coaching carousel

# 1070 Scott @ 06/22/08 03:47 PM

To be honest, I'd rather have team entrances than halftime/post game. Wouldn't mind a weekly show like CH2K8 had though.

# 1071 ac11367 @ 06/22/08 03:48 PM

I'm glad that the D-line is much improved. No longer do we need to pinch the line to guard against inside running plays like FB or HB Dives.

If this is varsity level, I wonder how hard all-american will be. I'm barely winning games on this demo.

I can understand developer wants to tone down on the effectiveness of user catching. But not in conjunction with DB's AI getting a bump. I think users should get rewarded by making an effort to take control of the WR to make a catch, which also requires some practice. I think user catch effectiveness should've stayed where it was with DB play getting a bump. I wonder if Madden's gameplay would be the same as this.

Adam, u and the others must consider putting in the team entrances and some game ending celebrations. The game is seriously missing presentation. I would bet the sells would increase by at least 25 percent compared to whatever it will be with '09. Casual gamers have seen the '09 clips and said, "this is '08." There is nothing that really jumps out with '09 unless u r a hardcore gamer (such as me). U put in team entrances, maybe a solid halftime show, and at least 2 game endings (national championship) celebrations and this board (especially casual gamers that passed the ebgame shops) would be going crazy to when they release 2010. And if u guy(s) decide to throw in new qb throwing animations (rivers, manning, etc) as well, Ncaa 2004 will not be the best anymore. lol

I had the same bug last night...extremely frustrating.

How hard can it be to put in? NFL 2k5 wasn't made by aliens, they were human beings, just like the EA staff. It didn't take them four years of "Oh, maybe next year." This EA monopoly is the worst thing to every happen to football games, since they can now put out a sub-par, half-assed game and not fear low sales. It's absolutely pathetic. Thanks, EA.

Before going off on a complete rant, I suggest reading thru the Q & A thread and you'll get the answer as to why entrances aren't in the game.

Stay on topic...demo talk only

# 1079 allBthere @ 06/22/08 04:21 PM

i couldn't really tell a diff between last years. I don't think it's very good and deleted the demo. to each his own, but if you told me that's what a fooball game would look and play like in 2008 back in 2004 I would have though it was a joke.

it just feels 'cheap' to me.

# 1080 redsfan4life @ 06/22/08 04:24 PM

BTW...

I have read about quick snapping by the CPU and the pass rush problem but to be honest...I've gotten a decent amount of pressure...both on LSU's QB and from the LSU pass rush. As long as the sliders are effective, I really dont think either of these "huge problems" will be much of an issue. JMHO
