Did you guys put these jerseys(white/garnet) in this year for the gamecocks? They were our default aways but you guys had us wearing black pants(which we also wear)

No, they are wearing black pants.

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

Adam - can you do us Buckeye fans a favor and put the OH-IO chant in the game for 2010?

The Art Director did mention this has never been in Madden as a consolation, but that doesn't matter to me. Progressive lighting is in the plan for next year, and dynamic weather is on the radar.
this is what I like. Now while I am still saddened that progressive lighting is not in this year, it helps ease the pain to understand the reasons why.

Thanks for researching this Adam. While I may not get what I want, at least I understand why.

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

Adam, since things are getting so easy, I felt I needed to come up with a stronger question:

I'm in my tenth season of a dynasty on NCAA 2008. I've played in the same conference the entire time (Oklahoma State in the Big XII). Has there been any consideration given to

1) More adjustments to playcalling by the computer? What I mean by this, I've seen the same offenses every year by each of the teams in the Big XII, even when they don't have the personnel to support it. I've seen the same defenses every year and they haven't stopped me in a given season, whereas in the "real world," teams will adjust their defense to account for offensive dominance by one team in their conference.

2) More dynamic coaching changes. Right now the only threat of changes in coaching is if I get switched out or fired. Baylor has won maybe 15 games in 10 seasons, their coach would be gone in real life. It would be nice to see coaches move around in my dynasty.

3) In ten seasons I've had one guy transfer to my school. One. I've been a 5 or 6 star prestige for the vast majority of those 10 seasons. Am I missing something in the formula for transfers?

4) Dogs and Cats, living together, mass hysteria!!!!!

5) This may have been asked already, but there are a few categories in recruiting that I have no way to impact. For instance, since there are no academic standards (ie bring back discipline), I can't directly impact Academics. Facilities (stadium upgrades in the future???). Etc. Has any thought been given to allowing us to have more impact on those types of things?

Again, thanks for all you do.

Oh I dunno about that......the strange shadows comment somewhat intrigued me...heh.

Edit: I decided to post a question... any chance of having the custom stadium music randomly pick a song from a playlist rather then playing the same song each time the event is triggered.
I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. I know its not in '09, but the chances for '10.

Hi Adam,

The quote about the updated stadiums in the game popped up all over the internet a while back.
It can be found...

here: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/872/872440p1.html

here: http://videogames.yahoo.com/ps3/ncaa-football-09/preview-1210974

here: http://www.askmen.com/gaming/ps2/NCAA-Football-09-Ps3/preview-2-1.html

etc.


This is pretty much what looks like for this season:





does this help?

Players transfer down. So if you have a weak roster you are more likely to get transfers. I don't know the exact formula.

There are academic standards. Players have a discipline rating... just because there is no sanctions on next gen, discipline is still there. This effects your academic ranking.

The only static pitch is campus lifestyle. Everything else is tied into SOMETHING you do. If we were to add a feature that could be tied into a pitch, we would certainly make sure it carries over to recruiting.

Thanks for the other suggestions.

Well, if you remember the pictures of Tiger Stadium I posted you'll see that what it looks like outside the stadium doesn't matter to us. So from what I can tell, the pressbox side is going to be renovated? This was under construction during the season, so there's no way we got it in game. I don't know where those articles got their information.

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

Looks like the construction isn't even complete:

http://wakeforestsports.cstv.com/ot/...um-webcam.html
"You are looking at Phase Three of the Wake Forest Football Stadium Project, the construction of Deacon Tower, expanded parking and the signature entry point. Construction on the tower is scheduled to be completed by summer 2008. "
