Do you feel the presentation in "Road to Glory" should have been put in "Dynasty"

How can you not touch something that is the staple of your franchise, the real reason people get the game?

Again you are making the assumption that the real reason people get the game is for dynasty mode. I know that is the reason you and the vast majority of hardcore gamers get it. But we have a very diverse audience, and we also like to try to bring in people who have never played our game before. We need to take all these things into consideration.

We dedicated the majority of our dev cycle to dynasty on NCAA 09 at the expense of Campus Legend.

Its just hard for most of us to accept the fact that after 4 years on next gen you guys still haven't put stuff into dynasty that was in 4 years ago on LG. Why can't we get the SI covers back? Spring game? Maybe add national signing day, formation subs, etc.? The fact you guys added a weekly show to RTG also leaves some people bitter because I mean how cool would it be if you could see what was happening around the NCAA?

I know you guys are trying to cater to everyone but why does the majority fan base get the cold shoulder when it comes to improvements? Why can't you guys focus on the hardcore group and the casual group instead of focusing your resources in just one or the other?

I know you're the lead art designer and not high up, I'm not trying to single you out Adam, you're probably my favorite guy on the team, I just hope you can see why some of us come on here and "hate" on the game.

I agree with you Bigdmo. However, when you look at the hardcore group as opposed to the casual group, the casual group is most likely larger. Casual football fans who actually like the 'fluff.' As you do, I wish dynasty would get more attention and RTG would just disappear.
I love NCAA but for the past 4 or whatever years, I feel like there's always something important missing and [somehow] something ridiculous like those mini games and mascot games made it into the game. There's so much potential there, you guys(EA) just need to take advantage of it in the right places.

You know until you walk a day in his exact shoes.....I would back off TELLING him what he/they should do. He explained they have a large audience to try and make happy, not just the good ole boys from OS. I am not a huge fan RTG either, but it makes 100% sense to me why the spent time on it, and why they leave that mode in.

Okay the casual group may be huge, but I can tell you that the casual group should be defined as 2 groups. Just because someone is casual, that doesn't' mean they wouldn't appreciate good presentation. Just because they are casual that doesn't mean they wouldn't enjoy playing a realistic football simulation. I don't see why NCAA can't do what Madden is doing. They are really catering to everyone. I'm telling you that even casual gamers will enjoy the stuff they have done. If NCAA was smart, they'd make the freshman setting the gimmicky cheese gameplay for Tommy 10 year old and make heisman for the hardcore sim gamer. Not to mention making sliders work so that the hardcore crowd could continue to try and end the arcadey gameplay.

In my opinion, get rid of RTG, Mascots games, and the mini games. Save that for the Wii. My created player on dynasty is my RTG. And I have never played a Mascot game ever (don't see the point).

Please give me: Spring Game, SI covers, practices in practice uni's, Senior Bowl, National Signing Day, formation subs, multiple sliders, Halftime show, Corso putting on the headgear, Home Depot College Gameday game of the week, 85 man rosters, Heisman and NC trophy presentation...
