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."
What I really want to know, is for the team specific entrances, do they have actual sound? Like the VaTech 'enter sandman' or Nebraska 'tunnel music' etc. Or do they have announcers introducing the teams etc. Did anyone gather anything on this?
I would guess that non-school music would likely not be there. they would have to get a license/rights for each song, and I don't see them doing that.
it's possible that they would add in a custom stadium sound event for the entrance though.
Man, they better have the Ramblin' Reck on there. It's not college football unless I see that 1930 Ford Model A Sport Couple leading Georgia Tech out onto the field. It has led the team out onto the field every home game since September 30, 1961. FSU's is pretty special too.
Wow I'm amazed. Ncaa 10 was such a disappointment for me, but it looks like they are finally adding the things we ask for. I can't wait for this game to drop.
Wish they would have showed Va Tech's hopefully its got Enter Sandman and everything....easily the best entrance in College Football.
Easily the funniest joke I've heard from this board. Ive never even heard of that entrance before this year. There are certain entrances that are noticable to any college football fan, like the ND players touching that sign in the tunnel, and the Michigan players jumping to touch the banner.
The Michigan entrance is far and away the best entrance in college football. Ahh, I love Michigan. Best fight song, best helmets, best home jerseys. Now if only they can get back to their winning ways and get that Big House loud again, even louder than it was last year.

Ok from earlier vids I could have sworn that the 2009 Nike Vapors were in the game... Upon further review, it looks like the 2010 (brand new ones) that players were wearing in BCS bowl games have made the game.
I hate to say it, but I'm stoked about this game. Keep it coming. I am almost willing to bet that they are going to drop a bombshell in regards to dynasty in a few weeks... that will officially make me crack.
If that bombshell is called "Athletic Director Mode", this will be a day 1, midnight release/early release buy for me. I will be stoked!
Awesome, I'm glad to see that team entrances are in this year. The graphics looked great and I am still counting down the days til July 13th. Keep up the great work EA.
LOL you have to be kidding me....if you haven't seen Techs Enter Sandman entrance before then you really ought to watch more football or stop calling yourself a college football fan.....Please the lame Domers entrance better then Techs.....you have to be joking....
The best entrances in college football are the ones that are recognizable by any fan. I hate Notre Dame with a passion, but you cant tell me that when you see that entrance you dont get goosebumps. Just knowing the history of that school and program. Just touching the sign isnt thast cool, but its the history behind it that makes it cool. I am a huge college football fan. And what makes college football is the history and traditions of each program. And the programs that get the most publicity are traditionally the best programs, which are the ones with the most history and traditions, like a Michigan, like a Notre Dame, like a Texas or an Ohio State or a USC.
so this must be what all the season showdown is more important than everyone thinks talk was about. and I'm dying to know if we can assign an entrance to our TB teams
