I hope the sliders work better this year, love hearing about the cameras getting an update. Long overdue. Thanks Adam.

How about getting players to actual fatigue with the weather,like playing in the humidity in miami.

Speaking of the Tiger Woods PhotoFace feature, any chance this could show up in NCAA one year? I thought this was a great feature in TW and was surprised how well it worked. Would be cool to be able to put my face into NCAA as well.

Yeah, USF was the mystery UA team. I might have skipped it because it was already answered. Go ahead and ask again. There was? I don't remember that. This is definitely a feature that I want. Or something along these lines. I'm kinda interested in a "rivalry challenge" mode where you have to win rivalries to move up the latter.... like you start on the Don Shula Trophy game (FIU/FAU) and work your way up to the Iron Bowl or Red River Rivalry. There would have to be a bit of debate to come up with the order! Please don't use the mean finger wagging smiley. I really don't like that guy. If your question is about the bowl endzones, I have answered this. It was the first thing I answered. Then I did a follow up. And I probably have followed up a couple other times. Plenty of other guys who saw the response have repeated it to those who missed it. They looked pretty good to me. I guess you'll see when the game comes out. Send me a PM with photos of the stuff we got wrong and I'll add it to the list. BTW, do you know when the construction on the endzone is going to be complete? I'm out for the weekend guys (and gals?). I'll pop in from home and check up but I won't be doing a systematic answering thing like I have been doing. Keep it light so I'm not spending all day monday answering questions asked over the weekend!

Construction on Rutgers new stadium should be done by 2009. By the first game of 2008 the new luxury boxes and the mezzanine seats will be completed, then by 2009 the stadium will be completely closed in and 13K more seats will be added.

Adam and others contributing.

All I can say is THANK YOU! 54 pages of information in only 4 days, that's freaking amazing! Keep up the great work.

Thanks for answering questions....

Has Campus Legend play calling been fixed? I remember the cpu QB calling a hail mary on the 1yd line.

Any chance of losing your starting position this year in Campus legend?

Freezing did it get fixed?

[gigemaggs99]

I have a question about one of the videos on the EA site. It shows the ability to "Freeze" the kicker this year, cool thing...my question is how much will it affect him and is it possible to "unfreeze" him?

Thanks.
Gus

(Asked and answered, evidently. It's awesome that it's been fixed. Disregard question!)

Hey Adam,

I have a question about Missouri's stadium, and more specifically the grass hill behind the endzone with the rock 'M'. In real life, there are fans sitting on the grass/rocks. In the NCAA series, there have never been fans sitting there. Are people sitting there in 09, or is it still empty? I know this is nitpicky, but it's weird to see the area empty in the game. Here's a picture as a reference point.



Thanks again for all the answers you have provided thus far. It makes waiting for NCAA that much more bearable.

Hey, I'm 99.9% sure that he confirmed that fans will sit on the grass and the rocks.
