Interesting that you stooped to insulting when you couldn't logically argue your point. Bravo.

And, just so you know, I was teasing about AU cheating and not trying to start a "flamewar". I should have put a smiley. I apologize. I was rooting for AU in the NCG ... I always want the SEC to represent.

Correct, while it may very well be fact, I don't have confirmation of this. I have the presupposition and belief that EA will continue to do what they've done since the start of this generation.

Maybe I'll be thoroughly surprised and they've carefully hidden the fact that this is a brand new physics engine and they've created diversity among the players using their rating system and successfully mastered the jobs of the OL/DL.

Seriously though, it's not "I'm right, you're wrong". I think people are inferring that I feel that way. I do not. I simply feel that under the current engine, no significant game improvements can or will be made. I want the graphics to be as sharp as humanly possible. The debate that's raging is me responding to people that have misunderstood me really. But each response puts me further in the trench and my point becomes more rigid because I keep having to make it or justify it. My original post was simply that it surprises me that dreads create that much commotion. Everything spiraled from that innocuous statement.

As for the "one screenshot" thing, I believe I made the point that there were things significantly wrong - from a football standpoint - from this image and pointed to them. I'm sure I could point to more if given a wider view of the field.

Actually, I believe I stated the exact opposite. I said from a business standpoint I DON'T believe they would make any massive changes.

But that's okay, there has been a lot of back and forth. Sometimes jumping in the middle of a debate leaves you without all the facts at your disposal.

In fact, the point that you were making a contention about was in reference to (potentially) being told that I didn't understand the gaming industry. Which in turn came about from my point on the misguided notion that the artistic team and the development team are not interrelated.

If that's so, then I have to wonder why the heck you care at all?

You've made it fairly clear that you can't find any enjoyment in the game as it is, and you seem to understand that the core engine isn't going to be changing to something more to your liking any time soon. Call me crazy, but if I were you I would be looking for another hobby.

Like I said, welcome to the life of a tormented NCAA fan.

I'm like an abused woman coming back for more. Or maybe a horse rushing to the burning barn.

Despite the fact that I don't think EA will halt production to create the perfect engine (or even a really good one) for fiscal reasons, I do believe (based on NHL and NBA) they have plans to slowly introduce physics to their engines. It's not the perfect solution, but it's something, right?

It's just I think that's one hole. I guess I just wish that the execs would let them come forward and say: "Okay, we screwed up. We know there are some massive holes in the gameplay and we here's the roadmap to how we are going to address them. If you see any others, please bring them to us as we want to make the best product." Right now, it feels like an "us/them" situation at times and they don't really acknowledge that there are significant issues.

My head already hurts and it's only one photograph. This cat has already whined for about 10 pages. Some of you need to find a new hobby. Video games aren't for you anymore.

One picture. One. Ugh.

Very annoying. I doubt that has been fixed.

Hopefully we see more long hair though, not just one set of dreads

I'm not sure why some people people say it just dreads or just a helmet. If this stuff was given to us from the get go we wouldn't be arguing. Just imagine if they had given us all the equipment and accessories in let's says a couple of years...they could spend the rest of the time fixing other issues. Just my $.02


Edit: I wonder if Adidas and Underarmour got some more love this year
