Its kinda like going through life expecting to get w/ a super model.

That is exactly why EA doesnt exceed expectations with NCAA football. If they wanna be greedy and own all the rights then atleast do the game right and listen to your product consumers for once. Fans tell EA one thing and its added 3 years later when nobody cares anymore. Patches are released very late the lack of added contet such as alt jerseys is BS.

I agree, EA has to do a lot better but NCAA 09 does look like a great start in that regards.

I can't pump sunshine either. I have to agree with you.
I don't need to be cut any slack, just show a little class when addressing me if you want an answer. And I don't need suck ups either. All criticism is fair. But if I'm posed a question in a hostile tone, I have trouble responding appropriately. While I am 100% honest with my answers (as far as I know.. I've given wrong answers but that wasn't on purpose!), I have to be careful what I say as I am still representing EA and Tiburon here.

Oh, and I AM being lazy right now. I just finished eight 70 hour work weeks in a row to finish this game so I need to unwind! So I guess it is true, we ARE lazy sometimes!

I can't believe you don't work 80 hour work weeks. Slacker!!

I think that is an excellent summary. One of the reasons I volunteered to do this is because I read these boards a lot and 99% of the assumptions posted about how video games are made were completely wrong. I think we got that number down to 25% now, which makes me happy to see. I used to someone post "It can't be hard to do X" and I'd look in the design DB and say "Yep.. there it is. We cut that feature because it was 2000 hours."

I certainly want to add more swappable parts like these, but I'm not getting good vibes on adding this stuff for 010. However, we are really early in the cycle and are trying to come up with our overall creative plan. We come up with a "big picture" thing... a theme of the game for that year... and then put in features that support it. This year it was Online Dynasty and College Atmosphere. I don't know what it will be next year.

You guys really need to learn to search...

It was to reduce the menu lag.

Re: Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

How is the stadium sounds feature. Does it sound like it is cut and pasted when loaded onto the game, or does it sound realistic?
