Unfortunately it isn't as simple as changing "max = 50" to "max = 100" - that extra 50 events worth of memory has to come from somewhere... I'm also looking into adding more options for the Home Team to provide a little more flexibility. Stuff like "All Bowl Games", "All ACC Teams", "Away Team is Rival", etc. The fun part there of course is what takes priority over what?

Why not just go the 2k route and have stadium sounds be a separate save file. That way, I can create a save for any team in the nation and each would be its own save or I could use the same generic save file for multiple teams. Actually, you could have more then 1 save per team if you wanted as you are only limited by HardDrive space and you never have more the 1 stadium sound file loaded at a time. (That is what I did in 2k5, I had 4 saves for my Bucs franchise so depending on which network the game was one, the right network themes would play when I played).

All the user would have to do is go to stadium sounds and load the correct save before playing a game.

Great... now I'm going to be up all night thinking about this...

Quick question- say we start a dynasty now, and once the patch hits we want to change the sliders in our online dynasty- will we be able to? I thought I had heard something about sliders being static in online dynasty.

Thanks

Doesn't work quite like that. The mascot games aren't eating up any memory that could be used for some other feature. A Mascot game is pretty much the exact same thing as a Play Now game, we just swap out the models and a couple animations.

Does the Ps3 disc really hold more than the 360 disc, and are we just being shortchanged on potential additions just so that each version will be exactly the same?

Oh yeah... Blu-Ray has something like 3 times the amount of space as a standard DVD. Whether or not you are being shortchanged... I'd have to say no. If there was something we wanted bad enough and the only thing holding us back was disc space, we would figure something out.

I will say though, as the team's resident PS3 fanboy, I do crack jokes about disc space whenever I get the chance

Craig, why were 30 or so mascots removed from the 360 version, and any chance we'll get them back and more in 2010?

PS3 fan!! I like this guy. Maybe we should run a game online sometime.

I have 2 questions for CDowns. What kind of things are taking the space needed for more custom sounds? and also Is there a chance that ps3 could have the game on a blu ray disc next year and have all the space on it used?
And thank god for a ps3 fanboy dev. Finally
