Maybe in the student section. Otherwise, sorry, that's just not the case.



If anything, the main colors are blue and white - people wearing home and road jerseys, as well as the classic sweatshirts (white w/ blue letters and blue w/ maize letters).

I don't mean to hurt your feelings! But hey, think of how all the "EA is too lazy to do this" post make us feel! Sorry if it came out that way.

I just wanted to curb repostings of the same stuff until an answer is made. If I didn't answer it, asking again won't help... cause I probably haven't gotten to it yet, so when you ask it again it will be quite a while before I get to THAT post.

It is late and I might not be making sense. I should go to bed so that I can start back again answering questions tomorrow with a clear head. I could roll through this thread easily, however I want to answer questions as completely and honestly as I can. I haven't gotten to page FOUR yet!

Be patient. I promise I will get to your question!

Well, when he gets to page 16 I don't think he'll have trouble seeing this question.

And no...create a school is not in. This has ALREADY been reported by Community Day attendees.

Jeez dude. (I still don't get the fascination with create-a-school, no offense)


Thanks for showing up here man. Though 09 is pretty much in the can, '10 can be even better if we can help you out. Trust me, there are plenty here ready and willing to do so.

I totally understand(4 the record i have never called you guys lazy) Im usually on the defense but these Forums turn you. I dont even know who I am ne more lol. It has to suck to work all year against deadlines and pulling all-nighters only to be called everything but a child of GOD in virtually every forum. I def would have lied about the silver pants though. Saying you forgot was just asking for it. Might be small to you(like forgeting to put the toilet seat down) but that detail will nag many aggie faithful and hardcore College football fans till Ncaa 2010.

I certainly hope that it wasn't my questions (or the way I asked them) that drove this guy away, but it seems like I've asked this question a hundred times to no avail. So here we get an EA dev here on OS (one from the art department, no less!) and I decide to dive right in with my question, hoping to get at least an explanation, to no avail. Like I said I didn't think my tone was all that offensive (maybe a bit sarcastic), but excuse me for being just a little bit jaded at this point. I'm a big fan of OS and I buy EA Sports games every year, so I'm not a EA hater or anything, I just would like to really see some progress in this area of the game.

Actually your question about team specific endzone art was answered very early in this process. So instead of jumping down people's throat, perhaps some patience and reading comprehension should have been used first.

Yep. It has been on my list since 2007. I can make no promises at this point in the development cycle, but I feel good about these for next year.

I smell an infraction.

That picture is from a game in November though, there a ton of different colors due to colder temperatures. I get that there are different variations and everything, but the primary color is maize (the official shirts are maize). Yes, the student section stands out more as the rest of the fans do vary, but for the game I just thought maize looked much better. Plus, they have maize outs, not blue outs.

Either way, maize in the game looks better. If it's not going to be mixed, I think maize should be the primary color.
