Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

[MacPlex]

Welcome. Long hair adds personality to players Why has madden had this for 2 years and none in ncaa? Love those dreads or golden blonde locks(OSU) line backers have. Or the Dreads of others. Teams like hawaii where almost the whole team has long hair looks awkward w/o . What about tattoos also?

Adding to this, it looks like teams who use different colored helmets were limited to 1 color for this year's release (unless I've missed something). Are there plans to include the other colored helmets for teams who use more than 1 helmet (Wazzu, Oregon, etc).

It would be great to be able to mix and match not only tops and pants, but helmets as well.

I'd like to know why there are still no dreadlocks/mullet hairdos in NCAA when Madden has had dreadlocks/mullets for a few years now?

Also, I think this got lost in the shuffle, did you say Hawai'i had no alternate uniforms at all?

I'd love to see two things. More MAC stadiums, and can we have some team entrances (not sure if this is your bag or not)... As for commentary, I love Kirk, Lee and Brad but it would be nice to hear a complete re-record, if that could ever be undertaken, with all new lines, even if it means less for a couple of years. I know the script so well, it's like it doesn't register in my brain any more.

It seems like a lot of guys are making the same requests over and over here. Maybe we should just compile a master list of the suggestions in this thread.

Why does it seem like the more advanced the game system, the less camera angles you get to choose from?

Why was the user defined cam on Madden, and not NCAA, but then removed from Madden as soon as coach mode was introduced?

Will the chain gang ever come out to check close first downs again?

Lastly, does the inclusion of mascot games or campus challenge prevent anything else from being put in?

Thanks for your time.

I know what you mean, but it's just the nature of the beast. This thread will probably be 20 pages long by tomorrow, with the same 20-30 questions posted six times each. Nothing you can really do about it.

Good to see EA reaching out to the community at large for NCAA and Madden, if advice is taken and acted on, we could get a killer game in 2010 (better than what we have heard so far for 09 that is).

I have a suggestion to ring in the madness that this thread will become once everyone takes notice. Can Adam simply create threads with specific areas to be discussed so he doesn't get barraged with every question we have rhetorically been asking for years on these boards. I think it will help keep things organized ala Ian's threads in the Madden section.

Anyhow, thanks Adam for joining and making your presence known, hopefully the input you receive will shed some light on issues many here feel don't get the attention they need. Be prepared though for some really intricate posts and outright silly suggestions, we have seen it all here before.
