Yeah, no kidding. It's even worse when you're playing Idaho and the game is played at the same generic stadium, despite the fact that Idaho plays in a dome.

Yeah I would love to see USM's stadium on the game and I am really looking foward to seeing Ole Miss' stadium. And they said something about Bama's upgrades on some article I read. I hope it looks nice on there.

Amen. It was terrible and they simply need to give us the option to turn it off. I played on All-American last year and it was too easy to abuse the cpu OL with it. You couldn't fix it with the sliders either because if you increased the CPU pass blocking too much, your CPU controlled DL never got to the QB and I only play as a DL occasionally. To remedy this, I simply never used the speed burst button whenever I controlled a DL (no jump the snap that way). However, that took away the speed rush from my DE. The fact they added the commit features and removed the DL controls from the R-stick was also a negative for me when playing defense. Of course, the thought that whenever the CPU got inside my 35 yard line meant an automatic 3 points was also idiotic.

In some ways, '06 was a better game because I didn't have to worry about the new crap they added and the things that got worse (like the kick return view, kicking game, momentum and jump the snap). However, they really improved the short passing game, toned down the human running game on AA, and improved the defensive back AI which outweighed the new junk they added. I just hope '08 gives us options to turn the arcade like stuff off. (These comments are regarding the PS2 version).

WKU won't be a real 1-A school this year, so I doubt they made it.

Anyone remember if FAU and FIU were in as 1A teams during their traditional years in the game?

F(A)(I)U was in the game the year they were semi-D1A.
