Yeah it's making me feel toasty all over. I saw that the pipeline thing was actually in the game! Before I think they were full of ish. I'm glad they used the Madden lighting and scaled the players better. This looks like it could be jam packed.

"We tried to base it on the Rivals100 (the organization's ranking of the nation's top 100 players) and limit the number of five-star and four-star players, like you would see on Rivals.com," Dorsey said. "We want it to feel like if you get a five-star player, it's really special."


"Is the game going to play that much better than the previous version? That's what the diehard fans want to know," Baker said. "Gameplay was my number one focus this year, and I think people will love the improvements when we hit the store shelves in July. We concentrated on run blocking, improving the option play, receiver catching, ball physics, user control and more.


These two quotes have me all fired up now. At the very least we know that the producers were fully aware of many of the troubling issues from last year(Since he took the time to mention some of them specifically) We'll soon see if their programing efforts can support their tantalizing words. I never would have thought that Rivals.com would be the first site to release info on NCAA 2006 that totally amped me up for the game this year.

I'm a sucker for producer quotes, even if the pessimistic part of me thinks they may be lying, I still want to hear them say they did x,y, and z.
