Not a huge fan of listening to him talk. Anything new here?

Ben did say in this interview crowd noise has been improved, had not heard that yet. He went into detail on how the downfield blocking on bubble screens was fixed, that sounded great. Also mentioned that most of the recruiting changes came from talking to West Virginia recruiting coordinator and that some improvements couldn't be added this year, but maybe down the road. Nice to know EA brings in real football guys and nice to know some more depth may be added to recruiting in the future since some people have complained about that.

Yeah, it's nice to hear one of the guys just admit that something wasn't working as it should and that they fixed it. Although I don't agree with the interviewer that this would be a question that a "hardcore gamer" would want an answer to......I've played this game for I don't know how long but I don't consider myself a "hardcore gamer." You don't need to play this game for hours on end every day to know that the option and bubble screens were not "working" properly for years.

I don't think it's just bubble screens, however. Judging by the videos that folks at E3 have been able to make, it looks like blocking in general has been greatly improved.

Consulting with WVU's recruiter sounds promising. There are plenty of other schools they could have gone to as well, but WVU has to recruit heavily outside of the state and sell kids on coming to a small state and I'd imagine it's not very easy to do.
