Blog post?

I don't know how concerned EA's dev. team is with that list but all that is priority to me.

so you never notice there were never a real QB pocket? never notice the horrible pursuit angles? never notice that you could score on every single play if needed? never notice how easy it is to return kicks/punts for TDs? I don't know, I find it hard to believe those thing could go unnoticed.

This is about the blog post, not presentation. Don't hijack threads. And the Madden team is improving it a lot this year, or Ian said so, but NCAA hasn't really had any good blogs and their game looks to be a lot worse than Madden this year, so I doubt NCAA's presentation is going to be anything special.

I'm pretty sure there will be some type of pre-game, whether it's team specific entrances or generic ones, or just players warming-up on the field or just actually showing the players on the field for the coin toss, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure something will be there for NCAA 10 based on what some of the Devs have said.

Yeah I'm looking forward to the info today. Even blogged about it last night on my OS blog heh. I'm done checking the EA blog for it though, they're taking their sweet time lol.....

TBH, I have this belief than anybody who is still playing offline dynasties either thinks they suck and/or can't stand losing. It's absolutely no comparison in terms of the competition level and fun, and there are plenty of options for straight dynasty play these days. All those leagues are looking for members right now and now is a much better time than when 10 comes out. So if you can't stand losing, put on a diaper and get used to it, because in the end its' a helluva lot more fun.

I love how you accuse me of hijacking this thread because I mentioned presentation, and yet you used this thread to trash talk NCAA and promote Madden. Who is the one doing the hijacking?

Solidice- The players being on the field for the coin toss has been on there before. That is nothing new. I expect EA to be able to come up with something a little more creative than that. If they don't at least have teams entrances, Corso talking about the keys to victory (or something to that effect), and players warming up, I will be sorely disappointed.

I never said it would be "new", but it's better than having the nothing we got now.
