Adam,

How come you guys took out the cut scenes from NCAA 07 and never brought them back? I think they were pretty good as they showed of the visuals really nicely.

What cut scenes?

Like before the play as the QB is walking to the line. You guys would have different cut scenes like showing the QB walk or focusing on the offensive line, running back, receivers, etc.

I really didn't like those cut scenes, they took forever and ate up the play clock.

This video has an example of the cutscenes from 07, and wow I had forgotten how good '07 looked. The lighting was perfect and the stadiums looked awesome as well.

I actually liked them, and I wouldn't mind seeing them make a return to the NCAA series.

You're right, 07 really didn't look too bad. It's been awhile since I played that game so I just forgot what it looked like.

For those that don't like it, the skip cut scene feature can be put in as many sports games have it now a days.

I personally liked it. I agree, the lighting in that game was awesome.

I hated the pre-play cut scenes. They were incredibly repetitive, and they prevented both players from making any adjustments while they were playing out.

Yep, I agree 100%.
