David Pollack Working with EA Sports, NCAA Football 14?

09:49 PM - January 21, 2013 by TryHard_Nation

David Pollack, part of ESPN's College GameDay mentioned he is working with EA Sports, presumably for NCAA Football 14. Could he be added as another studio analyst, working with Rece Davis or do they have something else planned, possibly with the entire crew in studio?

What would you like to see?

I know this is OT, but I checked the release date book at Gamestop and it appears as if they have NCAA 14 slated for a July 2nd release. I can't remember it being this early in the past although I could be wrong. I know it's not much earlier but it just seems earlier than usual.

Maybe Pollack and Davis might do some sort of college gameday pre/half/post show? What im hoping for is the bring in Brent Musburger for commentary with Herbie. They can still use Nessler for regular games but for the saturday night primetime games (game of the week), conf championships, bcs bowls it would be cool to hear musburger on commentary. also for those particular games they should use the abc theme and intro.

YES YES YES lol I said this in a thread I made not too long ago but their chemistry would bring life to Commentary IMHO

That is early. I would think the 9th or even the 16th would make more sense. It seems like it usually comes out Mid-July to me. Or sometime in the early teen days like 10-15ish. I won't complain if it comes out the 2nd though.

Could it mean that they are "CONFIDENT" that they are going to publish a game that will satisfy us ALL

If i was a betting man, July 9th would be the release date. The 16th seems too late. The 2nd would be great! Id take a later release date if they work the bugs out.

I'm hoping this improves gameplay somehow!

It used to come out late July, but it has slowly crept up to mid-early July. So it wouldn't surprise me all that much if they moved it up to July 2nd. More potential buys until Madden comes out.

Anyway, back on topic: This Pollack thing has me perplexed. Is he doing voice work? If so, what kind? He's not a sideline person, so him filling that "Erin Andrews" role in the game would be odd. But what else is there for him to do unless EA has finally decided to give everyone a Pre-game/Post-game show or a halftime show?

Personally, I'd love a halftime show that did what the studio updates did. Just go around the nation and show scores. Let the ticker flash if there's a big update mid-game instead of interrupting my game. They could then show highlights of your game and have Pollack give a vague description of what your team is doing well.

That would be neat. But this is all just wishful thinking. Truthful news from EA can't come soon enough, imo.

This on top of the fact that info starts pouring in around March, I'm starting to get excited for the info. Funny how I'm more excited for the info than the actual game.

Last year we saw a July 10th release (I made sure my parents planned out vacation around this). The first "playbook" came out on April 1 and the next on 17 then one on May 8 then May 31 then June 10th. I believe they released the info two sentences for each playbook around mid March. A earlier release should back up a week so I would expect news around beginning if March.

I really wished they did put Musburger with Herbie in the primetime night games. Also every week before season starts you could see the gameday crew talk about the games and give their picks. More networks besides ESPN, Less rain games, add Samantha Ponder/Gus Johnson to replace Erin Andrews, and more exciting scripts! But I have a huge wish list and doubt this will happen!!

If they add Musberger, then they're going to have to improve their crowd/cheerleader animations, or else what will he talk about?

# 33 Sundown2600 @ 01/29/13 05:03 AM

Any word on whether or not this will make the game play better?

# 34 Rekkapryde @ 01/31/13 01:35 PM

Screw Pollack....he's a mutt

# 35 eyeofthehawkeye2 @ 01/31/13 06:16 PM

I think they should add a halftime show and a post game show. What would be really cool is that if a huge underdog team upsets like the number one team, they should have the fans race out onto the field in celebration of their team's win. This is just a thought.

Hopefully he is there to teach them football 101.

# 37 ClemTiger @ 02/02/13 06:46 PM

Hey, it could be worse. They could give us Jesse Palmer

Stalking people's twitter accounts does pay off.
