No updates from OMT, etc. on NCAA 2010?

So are you saying that the programmers still don't have a handle on the 360 or was the PS2 and Xbox just easier to program on?

Keep making the game better! I would like to know if there is any chance of the uniform editor idea that I posted being considered for next year? I think you said that you handle the art part of the game. If I am right, can you give some insite on the stadiums for next year and if you guys are planing on adding some of the teams stadiums that are missing.

Mr. OMT:

One question, and one question only. Does not involve features:

Will the game be released on PC next year? There was that press release a little while back which announced the "relaunch" of EA Sports games on PC, and I would just really, really like to know if NCAA Football is FINALLY coming back to my beloved PC.

If you could clear that up, either way, I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks....

I didn't say anything like that. Features on the old consoles don't just "drop in" to the new code base. There is still implementation time.

Yes, we add stadiums every year. This year should be no different. But I can't get into specifics or talk about new features yet.

Are there any PT positions in QA? I live in Tampa and would be willing to make the commute if I could make the scheduling work.

Out of pure curiosity, what's the pay like for an EA QA tester? I'm a software technician for a major printer manufacturer, and my main responsibilities lie in the realm of working directly with the developers on ironing out all the bugs I can in certain parts of the firmware.

I'm curious to compare.

In terms of his feelings, I can understand perfectly, but not at you, but EA moreso. EA is so hellbent on advertising any and every little thing, it has gotten in the way of using good judgement, and possibly in the way of advancement.

"Hey look at me, I take care of my child I fathered!" Great, isnt that what you're supposed to do? Same with this game.....you're building a game, the gameplay engine at is the core & should not be something that should be bragged upon. It should be a given.

New! Revamped engine = Cool.

New! 100 new animations = Cool.

New! Fixed OL/DL interaction & working features that were broke last year = Not so cool.
