You had my attention right there! As a long time Warrior fan I would love it if you could PM me and let me know who your brother is, and if you're not comfortable w/ that, I understand.

I do agree w/ your ideas and here's something I think EA should consider... Every year the game comes out in July. Why not take one year and get EVERYTHING in the game even if that means the game doesn't release until September?

Sure... some people would complain that the game isn't coming out at the usual time, but if they took a few extra months and made the perfect game, I think everyone would be cool w/ that. The following year could be spent refining and improving certain things.

I also wish EA would convince the NCAA people that having the crowd rush the field after a huge home victory in no way reflects badly on college football... what it does do is add tremendous excitement. You might only see it for your team once every five years or so... but it would be so cool when it does happen.

I will say this about EA... lately, they are really taking the ideas that the community has and working hard to implement them in the game. I feel they are on the right path.

I also would greatly enjoy the crowd rushing the field! I remember when I was 11 and I rushed the field and it was so exhilarating. Why not put it in the game?

EA doesn't understand what presentation is. I'm convinced.

It IS NOT including ESPN radio into the game, or adding real life box scores to the ticker. Nothing is more infuriating to me than loading up my online dynasty and hearing an ESPN radio broadcast from the day before. I know the Hawks won yesterday...I watched the game.

They seem to think they can just include espn radio, put the espn logo a few places and add the college gameday graphics w/o actually adding a college gameday show. It's just mind boggling, I truly do not understand it. Even Mutant League football showed highlights from other games.

How about their hiccup about a month ago where they were interviewing Tyrod Taylor on their 5 game win streak?

I'm not kidding. Booted it up, heard them interviewing Tyrod. Thought it was something on the combine. NOPE. His play against Wake Forest and looking forward to their next game...

This is sad reading this,A muntant football game has highlights, but NCAA 12 still does not. Yet we all buy the game year after year. 3D grass is good, but whats the point when you have a sideline that looks like crap and no chain gang?
