Re: Hello from EA

Adam, so far it seems like you guys have done a great job on the alternate unis. Please make an effort to continue to add to that in next year's title.

come on now, you know we were laughing when we were playing '08 online and we kept mentioning that if this was '09 your tiger would be crip walking right now.

but yea, Bowl patches on jerseys, Bowl game end zone art, team entrances are the big ones for this area. that and the real stadiums for the teams that are still missing them.

I for one would like to see the real Alamo Dome in the game. the last 3 years('07, '08 and now '09 based on info from beta) in the 360 version, it wasn't even a dome.

Welcome Adam. Please tell your supervisors that because of you and Ian coming onto these forums and using our feedback, you are not only improving the games, but will make them a lot of money that a few months ago may have been lost. This is the kind of interaction I think we all have been waiting from EA Sports.

As a Buckeyes fan I agree that Michigan's colors have never looked right in 08, as you say the blue is too bright and/or light and the yellow is a shade too dark. Hopefully this is corrected in 09.

Geesh this thread blew up bigtime, I hope we didn't scare this gentleman off!

Re: Hello from EA

I have another art thing. Ha ha, geez what's this three now?

Anyway, has anything been done to improve equipment for incoming recruits? The past few years the equipment recruits wore was just bizarre, strange tape, armband combinations, no gloves for receivers and RB's. Instead might I suggest in the future instead of having the game randomly assign equipment just put together two or three equipment templates that would be suitable for each specific position and randomly assign one of those templates to the recruit.

Also, is it possible to make it so recruited players in dyansty wear long sleeves for cold weather games? I know that an appropriate number of players wear long sleeves during cold weather games from the default roster, but after a few years in dynasty I can be playing in December in the snow in 20 degree weather and not one player on either team is wearing long sleeves.

Oh and thanks again for listening to nitpickers like us.

Re: Hello from EA

One thing I would like to see in the future is better bowl presentation. If I'm in the national title game, I want to feel like it. For example:

Entrances: Have some stadium hype type announcer say something like this "Here come the Big Ten Champion Ohio State Buckeyes, coming in with a record of *insert record*, and led by *insert stat leader name/number*. And then "Here come the Big Twelve Champion Texas Longhorns..." Show teams running out. It would be cool to have fireworks or something going off for the bigger games.

Endzone art: really would like to see it soon, I don't care if they copy the checkerboard for Tennessee, but it would be nice to at least have an all orange with white lettering spelling "Vols" or something.

Players: I'd like to see them jumping around after a big play or something, make the game just feel big. If I just broke a 40 yard run for a TD in the NC game, I want to see my players going crazy (and not the mascot). Patches would be nice but of that list they are the least important to me.

Some other people mentioned other things I would like to see so I don't feel like I need to expand too much on those.

I know I for one will probably get Madden now, I hadn't gotten it since 06 and that was when it was like 15 bucks. It really feels great to at least get answers if there are things we think are missed, and why. Maybe the devs tried to implement something but just couldnt get it to work right and messed up the game, I'd like to hear that just because it is a lot better than silence. Even just somebody coming in and saying they hadn't looked at that before but would now is nice feedback.

Great idea tying in the extra emphasis on bowl games, but, additionally, most every game should do this. I want the announcers to mention that my team is ranked #3 or undefeated or whatever. If the game is #1 vs. #2, even if it's week three, the announcers should be aware of it. Likewise, if I beat the #1 team in the nation, it shouldn't go unnoticed like I just beat Northwestern. That is, big games in general need more attention from the announcing crew and presentation overall, not just bowl games.

Re: Hello from EA

As an Auburn graduate....

The Auburn home uniform blue isn't dark enough. It's more of a "dark blue" than a "navy blue". It should look almost black.

Example...



Compared to....



See..the blue is too light in the game.
