Bowl games can we please have decals on the jersey and if not that please find a way to get logo's in the endzones. You guys have done a solid job on 09 from what I have seen, I just really want this game to take that step to the next level where the game lives and smells like football. Things such as weather impacting throws, as mentioned a million times, ol/dl interaction WR/DB interaction. I have no clue about this but are there any coaches on the sideline? One of the EA members said they thought cheerleaders were more important then animated sidelines, things like that makes me get a headache.

I have to agree. I understand that everyone works hard, but I've paid $600 for a platform claiming to be "next-gen" anticipating a "next-gen" quality of game that would take gaming to the next level. 08 was so void of features that it was sad. I know it looked better, and I do like the recruiting engine, but gameplay dropped off as well as game features, and I'll never understand the menu's. The game looked good, and I can understand gameplay being off going to a new platform, but it is ridiculous for a company to expect fans to he happy when ps2 has way more going for it than ps3. Not blaming Adam, he's not "the man" I'm talking about. What was left out made the game worse in every aspect than it actually is, but when you're used to having it all, 08 seemed really anemic.

May have been asked, but guys like Ryan Perriloux are not in the retail, but from the beta screenshots Kirby Freeman isn't listed on the Baylor roster, will he be in retail? (as well as other guys missing?)

Adam can you clear something up for me please. Im curious to know why if you port up from ps2 to ps3, everything that was in NCAA06 or 07 is not already apart of the game? Doesnt Blu-ray give you way more options than last gen?

Well 360 doesn't use blu-ray.

if by "options" you mean disc space, then thats not the problem right now, the limiting factor i believe now is the Ram in the consoles(i never understood why both the PS3 and 360 out a low amount of RAM).

Its not a 360 question. Its a reliable systems question. I'm sorry, its a Playstation question.

One thing I have noticed is that the crowd for UC in the game is all red and white. At a real UC game you will see mostly black and red being worn in the crowd. where as the real crowd looks more like this In fact, when Kelly came on, he implemented the "Come Early, Be Loud. Wear Black" slogan on just about everything that has to do with the football program.

I just wanted to make sure you saw this Adam because you asked us about graphics and uniforms. It fell between two of your replies and so I thought it may have been missed. Thanks

Did you play 08 on PS3? I might have misunderstood the question thinking you were asking if they were on the new system, or did you mean why are they not on the new system? I've said it before, and I can deal with the turnovers and gameplay, but what irks me the most is not getting more for your money. Well, it's actually getting less for more money.

It's my understanding that nothing in the next gen versions is "ported up", the games had to be built from the ground up.

Was that really necessary?
