So when calling the "NCAA", whom do you we ask for? "Yeah, um, gimme someone in jerseys...."

You dont make any sense dude...

Re: When/If are they going to fix the uniforms for 360?

I hounded Adam many times in this forum but when it comes to this, its not Adam's fault. He cant change a uni if the school does not unveil it until a month before the game comes out or worst, some teams this year did not unveil new unis until a month before the season. Like for instance SMU. But some of you guys get pretty anal when it comes to your teams unis.

I mean hounding the guy because the patch on the front of the jersey is too damn small or being on suicide watch because your team has to wear black shoes all year instead of white shoes is borderline comical. do you know how many intricacies every uniform has?? for 100+ unis I might add. And some of you guys want to add the Div 1-A teams(FCS or FBS, whatever)??? Will they even have time to get all THEIR unis right AND the new unis next year AND the corrections to the unis already in the game?? in the time they have up to release?? AND all the other stuff we want?? Hell he and the crew probably have to work 24/7 till July...

Some of us never hounded him. We simply asked if there was a possibility of changing them for this version. I realize that most of these inaccuracies aren't Adam's fault. Probably none of them. It would just be nice to have things as accurate as possible for added realism. It would be nice to change the shoe color as an option since you have no idea that it can change at any time. It does suck to have to play for a year with the wrong color shoes. There is a right way to go about things and asking courteous questions and providing accurate info to help him out in the future is far from comical. I would like all elements to be as true to form as possible so get off your caffeine kick and let people voice their concerns and ideas for improvement.

We work with the schools and the licensing company on this stuff, not the NCAA. Some schools do a great job of sending me hi resolution photos of their uniforms. Others don't. We used to rely on the schools and ended up with really bad uniforms. I remember when I started doing this for NCAA 2006, I quickly found out that Mississippi State's uniforms where two years old.

I want the most accurate uniforms. With so many schools to deal with, we can't call up one entity and have them send us all the designs and photos. I can't trust that to be accurate and I know I won't get 100% coverage.

Re: When/If are they going to fix the uniforms for 360?

Just to put in my .02

EA gets approval from the schools on which uniforms will be in the game. EA sends them what they have, the school can then say yes or no and/or provide more information, pictures, and other uniforms to use.

Once EA gets this stuff, then they can make it for the game, time permitting.

Also, for those asking why we cannot download uniforms, Adam has stated plenty of times that the art for current-gen (PS3 and X360) is handled differently than on last-gen. If I remember correctly, the art on current-gen is a complete asset. The jersey,pants, socks, shoes, and helmet is one piece of art. Each team has at least two. Multiplied by 120 teams, plus alternates....and getting the machine to render correctly....

You know they still have to work on the rest of the game too right?

I am sure eventually we will get interchangable jerseys and pants (and helmets - Wash. St., Oregon). Let them take their time to get them in the game.

If the game was perfect every year, you wouldn't have to buy a new one.

Please, just enjoy the game!

I've answered it many times . That functionality was too costly to maintain year over year and would cut into other features. Not enough people took advantage of it either, so we dropped it.

That was a mistake that didn't get caught by QA. We have tons of photos showing white numbers. I'm changing up the uniform QA process this year to cut down on errors like that.
