At this point I truly believe they've reached the limits of the tech they invested in. It was a gamble that didn't pan out. Lesson learned for next Gen..

As for other helmets, there should be at least two DNA 2-bar options, a DNA 3-bar (like DNA 6 but without the peripheral bars), and probably a few more after that. And the ION4D helmet should have a two-bar robot option.
I love the Standard helmets, they don't interfere with the helmet designs like the rest of. And honestly, I think all the fancy schmancy helmets look ugly.

I don't mind the inclusion of the standard helmets, I just don't think they should be the default for every recruit.

Also, I didn't even realize that I said "size doesn't mean anything" until just now. Damn my psyche.

Re: The NCAA series is missing some VERY important nuances.

Dear NCAA team;

Please give these guys their socks, their visors, their facemasks and their cleats. My head hurts from the constant wishing. I really want a genie right now so I could ask for this for everyone. Your fingers have to be sore from typing about it all the time.

Make sure to fix gameplay then the fluff. After fixing gameplay, might have room for 85-man roster, etc., etc.

Edit: mascots mash-up shouldn't/doesn't take much space.(mascot model x 11 with 99 OVR ratings)

Nothing is too hard to do if it's already been DONE before. Some of the things, EA seems to put BACK in their games as new stuff has already been in the game before...on lower level systems at that.

Add to that the stuff that you see in other games and it's really no excuse man...none! This is why there needs to be competition so that there will be variety. I'll be close to 40 Lord willing when the license expires and I pray other gaming companies jump in the fray if for no other reason than to make EA step their game up. Cornering the market has done wayyyyyyyyyy more harm than good.

Re: The NCAA series is missing some VERY important nuances.

Not an equipment thing but are their any plays in which my tackles (or TE) don't get into a 3 point stance?

I have more other little nuances but I have to get back into a meeting -- had to OS for a second to keep me awake.
