One last thought on the shiny helmets-imo this was an area that needed work anyway, last year EA really went overboard with the mirror finish look:

They actually used that formation quite a bit. They used it against USC in the first game. The big difference is that they first started using it with McFadden at quarterback in the Ole Miss game.

I could have sworn I saw one game near the end of the year (LSU or FLA maybe?) in which McFadden lined up at QB pretty much all game. Might not have been that particular formation though. Or my memory could just be playing tricks on me. I only saw one or two Arkansas games.

nah they ran out of that formation pretty often towards the end of the season when their qb situations was screwed. in almost any primetime game i saw darren mcfadden doing his best ladanian tomlinson impression.

Coogrfan, was Kevin Kolb your QB last year at Houston? Eagles just drafted him for a backup. Whats your impression on the kid?

(Sorry this post is kind of off topic).

I was watching one of the videos and noticed two genenric looking teams that were playing on what looked like a practice field.


The bottom of the screen had the two teams named TTHS and WLHS, WTF are those? High Schools?

Can we create teams this year?

In Campus Legend mode, you start off your career by playing in a HS playoff tourney. There will be a limited abilty to create a HS in CL mode, but last-gen style create a college is not included this time around.
