In the past, you had to control the team to select the alternate uni. thanks in advance for your response.

I was also wondering the same thing

Adam first of all thank you for doing this for the OS community!I need your personal and professional opinon.I'm about to turn 39 this month and I've been playing football games since Atari and really appreciate the evolution of football games over the years as many of my generation do.My question is how many generations of consoles away are you guys from having so much computing power that the graphics and all the bells and whistles that everyone screams for will be much easier than it is today for you to produce?I know what I want is gaming heaven and it may not be attainable in my lifetime but a man can dream can't he?I hope it's with XBOX 720 and PS4 and I appreciate your realistic insight to this question. Thank's and GO VOLS!!!!!

Adam thanks for coming here and giving us some insight on the game. I've played EA football since the Bill Walsh game. I understand that this is a new build but it is frustrating as a fan to have to "make do" without features on a "next gen" system. Sometimes I feel like the game takes 2 steps forward and one step back. That's the reason I continue to play on PS2 although I have a 360.

I will give the game a try this year on 360, just because of this thread.

As a fan I would like to see some sort of decal editor (like Forza) when you bring create-a-team back. This shouldn't be too difficult for the current systems to handle, as Forza had one on the Xbox 1 version of the game. I went to a small school that doesn't have a football program and I enjoy creating them and playing in dynasty mode.

Maybe to get around it they could only allow you to reverse him once until he is set again. People are idiots btw

That fix could be a simple one time only deal. Once you send a man in motion you can either let him go all the way or reverse it but if you do (reverse it) you can't move him again

Yeah, fixes like that would allow us normal human beings to play without allowing the idiots of the world to ruin it for all of us.

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.

Thanks for the response, Adam.

actually, that feature only appeared in NCAA 2005, PS2 version or otherwise. Believe me, that was something I always checked.

Is there any chance of this seeing this feature or a "create-a-rivalry" trophy feature in future games?

hey adam this may have been asked or already talked about before but will there be coaches on the sideline like on ps2? and if so can we make a coach like ps2 for dynasty?

You may have already answered this question but after 50 pages, I really do not remember.

Will these new jerseys be in the game?

1. Utah (Under Armour)

2. South Florida (Under Armour)

1. Yes there is a picture of their Black UA uniforms at EA.


2. He has mentioned a "secret UA" team but has not confirmed that USF is it.

Thank you so much, for taking time to answer questions! That is very important to us all! I have 2 questions!

1)I know this may not be very important, but was a cool feature a few years ago. Will the teams standings be brought back into the game intro? Back in (I believe 07), the players would come down teh walkway, then Nesler, Corso and Herby would introduce the game, and then they would show the conference standings, and they would talk about it! I kinda miss that!
2)How many teams will we be able to control in dynasty, and will we be able to play every single game, like in years past?

Thanks again for taking the time to answer these!!!!!!!!!
