Thanks for bringing it up, gonna send an email to Sean Bailey and find out what the deal is.

I think the gameplay videos we've seen answers that question why though, the lighting looks about 50x better.
Yeah... I understood what he was asking and I answered it the best I could. I don't want to speak for the Art Director. If this is really a big issue I'll sit down with him and bring up both sides and see what he has to say.

But you're right.. the lighting is better. Fifty times? Maybe not! But it is better!

No they can't.

I'm surprised it took this many pages for someone to ask me why something on PS2 was "taken out" for PS3/360.

The fact of the matter is nothing was taken out. It is a totally different game. The code base is different, the art assets are different, the UI is different. I'm sure that risking trophies and pennants is still available on PS2.

And while I speak of it, no we are not holding back features that are in the older console versions just so we can say it is a new feature when/if it gets to next gen. That's just silly!

I better get to bed. I'll check back in tomorrow.

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

Hey Adam i have two questions:

1. Will we be able to edit players equipment offline and see the changes when we play online games on our side? ( Meaning the opponent wont see it). If not this year, is this something ya'll have talked about implementing?

2. Will we be able to challenge calls online this year?

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

There is no question the lighting is better, everything in the game looks significantly better, and I can't believe it's running at 60fps. It was probably the right decision for the game. This year overall seems like it was a huge reworking of both NG football titles in an effort to establish a better foundation going forward.

It would be great though if you could just bring it up with the art director like you said and maybe something could be implemented for next year.

I strongly disagree that this should be changed back to the way it was. This was a major glitch tatic in current gen thats why they changed it.

Also you don't see guys doing that mess in the NCAA or NFL if they motion they keep going until the ball is snaped or they reach their spot on the field.

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

Hey Adam...

1) How long will you be hanging around, posting, and answering questions here at OS?

2) When do you guys begin preparing for next years game?

3) Do the designers/EA Team actually play the game a lot after it's released, and is it weird actually playing a game you made? It would seem odd to get pissed at the AI for cheating you knowing you had a hand in creating it, although I know thats not your area.

4) Are Miami's all white alternate uniforms in the game this year?

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

In online dynasty is it possible to move up to other conferences, i.e. if playing as UCF, after a few successful seasons will I be able to move up to the ACC or something?

Also, can you get hired to go to different teams in online dynasty?

btw, sorry if these have been asked, but theres 46 freakin pages to go through and i'm only reading Adam's posts and don't remember answers to these questions.

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

What's the deal with the manuals? Why not write a good one. 3 or 4 pages for a game like this is crazy. It's amazing how lazy ea has gotten in this regard. For 60 bucks I expect something that at the very least tell us how to play the game. I find myself coming here and asking other people here at OS if they know how to do...........

Thanks for your time, was shocking to read that you guys sign NDA's not to talk about the games you work on. Why don't they allow you guys to talk to us after the game comes out?

Tell your bosses that talking to us (the costumer) is a GOOD idea.

You ask about companies putting out more then 1 patch. Well, "The show" has had a few patches, and have 2 or 3 roster updates per week and have said that if they need another patch they would put it out. So yes other companies do support their game with more the 1 patch.

Thanks again.

That's not true at all. The Show has only had 1 patch. Roster updates happen once per week and are different than patches.

What other games had more than one patch? Both Sony and MS don't want consoles to become PCs where developers release bug filled products and tons of patches. With Adam's reference to the patch, he said the first patch is free and after that its very expensive. I can only assume that MS and Sony allow companies to release one patch but if they want to release another one they probably charge them a lot of money.
