EA Sports have posted another NCAA Football 11 blog. This one showcases the pregame entrances.
Quote:
"Pageantry and Tradition; two words commonly used to describe what separates college football as one of the greatest experiences in sports today. Contrary to popular belief, not all of the action takes place on the field... and one of the hallmarks of collegiate football is how you get there. From Howard's Rock at Clemson, to the "Play like a Champion Today" sign at Notre Dame, to the roar of the crowd as our favorite team takes the field, we've recreated some of your favorite traditions before kickoff and brought them to you like never before.
As I wrote in my last blog, we really wanted to strengthen our authenticity and presentation in NCAA 11. And to do that, we knew pregame entrances were a major component of building a great foundation. We've created run outs for some of the most popular schools based on who you pledged your loyalty to in last year's title, including Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, Nebraska, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia Tech, Florida State, and more."
ill admit it, i was skeptical when the "Alpha" video came out, but who wouldn't be. It wasn't what any of us were looking for. Now I will eat my words, and gladly, this looks like what we HAVE been asking for. I had the right to "hate" on that video, and now I'm glad I can say I can now recant.
People been photoshopping so i'll believe it when I see it. I havent seen it in any videos yet though. Or the other ones. Everything else is superb though. This is just my favorite facemask
Man i sure hope so- Ingram wore it in the BCS game but looks at these photos
well heres the links-

I also hope that they put alabama's in there, we've already had to put up with the no numbers on helmets crap for the past few years
I saw the Miami picture and thought it was real at first. It looked amazing, but why did we not get shown in the video? Also, they have VT's in? I can't wait for this game!!!
Actually, check that, color me pissed. NCAA is proving right now that attention to detail and excellent presentation can be accomplished. I'm sick of Madden's excuses. Ugh.
My Ramblin' Reck better be in the damn game! Name a tradition like it! The tradition is almost 60 years old. You can't leave it out.
Also, I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech is the best college fight song. We mention alcohol several times and say to hell with our rival. Top that.
They are using last years roster for these vids. Juice Williams and Benn are still on the ILL roster in the entrance. I think they're probably still working on the rosters.
On another note. I would love to see Tommy Trojan ride out on the white horse and stick that sword in the middle of the field. And then see USC players hit the "I'M IN" sign
And then walk out of the tunnel with arms locked
I'm with you, if these are in I'm going to have a heart attack. If the teams that made the cut are based on popularity with Season Showdown, USC is gonna be out of luck...they're not in the top 30 (at least by the PS3's statistics).
