Ben Haumiller should be showing up in the next couple of weeks to a message board or two and can answer this.

They actually had them for 2 seasons now... but i will let you slide. Atleast you got the new stripe on the pants.

Please tell Ben im very interested in any info he can give me... im working on a website for my league right now called The Tradition (shameless plug www.setzerproperties.net/TT) and im wanting to know if/what i can integrate from possible EA published data. I'll keep an eye out for info on this but it sure would be great to get an answer soon.

Thanks again for listening.

Could you explain from an art perspective why three years in on next gen we still don't have the correct bowl endzones, and patches for bowl games? Thanks for taking time to visit us here and answer questions.

I went through all of the just about 100 posts so far and...

I think he's dodging this question. It was one of the first questions asked and probably the MOST repeatedly asked question! What's the deal?

Is there team-specific bowl endzone art in the game this year? If not why, and why is this continually being neglected? And what is the timetable on getting this into the game? Why is this not a priority of the art department?


Some examples of what we are talking about!







C'mon man! You know exactly what we are talking about here. Your (EA) bowl games look NOTHING like these pictures here!

What's the deal?!?

Ditto that. I've been working on a site for an online dynasty with some friends as well. It would be great if we could get box scores like a couple years ago.

Hey Adam,

Just wondering if Oregon State's south endzone and High Definition Jumbotron are on your list of things to fix for next year? I noticed that the south endzone in this years game has 2 side-by-side scoreboards when in reality it should be one large one. I believe its one of the top 5 biggest screens in the country now.

thanks for getting on here, I'm not going to make any requests because I really don't know of much things I want fixed. I don't really think that any thing big will be able to get fixed when madden releases a month later, and there are even some smaller things that they could not fix. I like how you guys are becoming a part of the community, my only suggestion is to begin the community interaction earlier, in the future.
Thanks

You raise a good point, perhaps next year we could be giving inputs to the NCAA devs in late April, or early May on things that need to be looked over before the game goes gold.
