I hope we are not playing a bunch exhibition games on 360

I always thought the NC celebrations in the NCAA series were one of the weakest championship presentations in any sports game, especially for a game so awesome otherwise. To not have that lame excuse for a celebration doesn't bother me in the least.

To see how a videogame championship celebration is done right, check out NHL 2004.

the SI covers were a joke. i would see my halfback tackling another teams linebacker on some of the covers.

Then stop turning the ball over so much and it won't make the covers. j/k

I also loved when a player that had transfered from one school and was having a monster year at another came back to face his old team they would usually mention it on the covers... that's what made the SI covers cool.

All of those things are left out of the 360 verson?

Eventhough these things may seem repetitive, I liked the mag covers, the 3-man booth and team intros, the fan cut-scenes, celebration and taunting cut-scenes, etc. because IMO it helped with the immersion and atmosphere of the game. It's a shame the mag covers (and apparently 3-man booth and team intros) did not make it into the 360 game. The jury is still out with fan cut-scenes although I haven't seen one video clip of them.

For those who did not care for them, at least you could bypass them with the push of a button. It sucks for us that did enjoy them, that they are not a part of the 360 version (at least for this year). I hope that they bring them back or possibly introduce something better... like a sportscenter highlight type show and team specific intros.

You guys are ridiculous, stop jumping to conclusions!!

There is a three man commentary booth on the 360 (corso, herb, nessler) and in fact, they have something like three times the amount of lines as the current gen version...i cant believe some people make up things and everyone else acts like chickens running around with their heads chopped off!
