Re: Hello from EA

Adam: One more question for you. EA has released team ratings I know but are they going to release team prestige at some point? I am particularly interested in the BCS conference teams.

Re: Hello from EA

Why do we have team specific bowl game endzones in last gen games yet no endzone paint in current gen games?

Most bowl games will do a generic team name in the schools color.

Some bowl games will do the teams actual endzone.

Either one would be great.

Re: Hello from EA

Hey Adam thanks for making yourself available to the community. I really appreciate you coming on after normal work hours to share with us.

I have 1 question for you...

Why is there no endzone art for the bowl stadiums? And is it a concern for EA?

It brings a lot of atmosphere to the bowl games in my opinion and I see you guys have really made a huge improvement in that area of the game.

Re: Hello from EA

Ah yes! From an ART Standpoint it's pretty much unanimous for every OSer on here...

BOWL PATCHES

BOWL ENDZONE TEAM LOGOS

TEAM ENTRANCES!! BRING THEM BACK PRONTO!!!

In our opinion..all of the above are MUCH more "atmosphere" than 20 minutes of a breakdancing Mascot.

Can you let us know if both of these SHOULD be concerns for us and if they are, how you guys have gone about remedying potential issues?

Also...Thanks so much for the Stadium Sounds feature. I can FINALLY hear the REAL Auburn fight song after I score a TD.

Glad to have you here.
Just to comment on your points, these issues have been solved in Madden, and aren't able to be brought into NCAA at this point because the code is final. Rhombic wrote an article about it at NCAA strategies.

Rhombic made the point that in addition to pass rush issues in NCAA a number of other fixes that were implemented into Madden since the community day (so less than a week), which also include improved DE play, and the cpu QB going deep. it's so frustrating to know how much better the game could be if the devs were allowed a few days more to put all those tweaks in. So I guess unless the community tries to ask the higher ups to allow the dev team an extra week or so any remedies have to come by way of a patch.

Re: Hello from EA

One issue some guys have brought up is if you were part of the C-USA and move to the SEC, you still have the C-USA patch on uniforms and your stadium.

Great point! That's a big one for me too. I would understand if it's not possible to put another conference logo on jerseys due to rights issues. Instead it would be nice if there were just a set of uni textures and field graphics with no conference logos at all so when you switch conferences in dynasty at least you don't have a C-USA logo on your team's jerseys or field if you moved to the Big East.

Re: Hello from EA

I'd just like to say, first, that I think it's great you guys are doing this. Whoever's idea it was to have you guys start interacting with the dedicated and long-time fans of the series like those you'll find here at OS deserves a raise, in my opinion.

Echoing bad_philanthropy, endzone art and patches in bowl games is a pretty big one.

Other than that, my only question would be: has there ever been any consideration given to the idea of customizing uniforms? I have in mind a couple of things. First, I have historically disagreed with the color palate chosen for Michigan. The 07 version of the game (360) was damn near perfect, but outside of that game, I find there is a tendency for the blue to be a little too bright and the yellow a little too dark. It would be great if I was allowed to change this. Also, it would be great if we had the option of creating alternate uniform schemes; just something simple like adding long socks for cold-weather games, or making an all-blue or all-white uniform (again thinking of Michigan). In the past the only way I could achieve this was to create "Michigan" with the create-a-school feature. In short, I'd like to see similar features be available for every team.
