David Pollack Working with EA Sports, NCAA Football 14?

This is probably the most OS post ever.

Ehhhh... At first they're cool, but by season 5 of my third dynasty I've seen the 'Enter Sandman'less VT runout enough times, and they never say anything interesting in the pregame anyway. For the majority of the games audience who doesn't play as many games as most of us here it's probably still a cool thing, but like I said the 100th time I'd just as soon get to the game a little faster.

How come you don't just use custom stadium sounds?

Anyway, for those of us who enjoy a TV style broadcast (AKA NBA 2k), this is somewhat exciting news. Pollack is the best guy ESPN has (and this is coming from a Gator fan), and hopefully it means we may finally be getting some kind of analysis that doesn't come from Herbie and Nessler.

Re: David Pollack Working with EA Sports, NCAA Football 14?

it's crazy how the tiniest bit of info comes out and people's minds just run wild with possibilities.

If we didn't then this board would only be filled with people complaining about the DB Glitch and how EA hates us and doesn't listen to the consumers.

I'll take some "minds running wild" occasionally over that any day.

Re: David Pollack working with EA

Yeah me too...How hard could it be to make 2 3d models of them, and a studio set and have their mouths move to the audio track of their voice over. I dont understand why more game companies(ie. Baseball on ps3) don't do this when they're already saving the highlight reels after the games anyways..Guess it's a priories/time issue. Back on NFL 2K5 those highlights with Chris Berman felt like real life lol.

I like the halftime shows and studio updates, but would prefer they don't make models of the announcers. Just personal preferance, but I think their resources are better used elsewhere. And I usually find the 3d announcers a tad on the freaky side....even Berman in 2K5 despite the fact that I really liked that game, as thought halftime/weekly updates where awesome.

Maybe he is taking over for Erin Andrews??

He doesn't even fit the Sideline Reporter Role ....... Plus they might add Jemele Hill, Shannon Spake, or Shelley Smith as the NEW side line reporter

Re: David Pollack Working with EA Sports, NCAA Football 14?

My vote goes for him replacing Erin Andrews. Make sense in my opinion and new voice and fairly popular so why not?

[smlmeyer]

I don't really like him as an on-air guy, but if it helps presentation I guess I'd be ok with it. Sometimes presentation, good or not, just gets in the way though so I agree with some people saying you should be able to turn overlays and stuff like that off. I have built a habit of playing sports games and watching something on my laptop or listening to music or a podcast or something and that doesn't bother me at all.

Right on, I was somewhat kidding, but I would assume someone else will fill that role.

I know this is OT, but I checked the release date book at Gamestop and it appears as if they have NCAA 14 slated for a July 2nd release. I can't remember it being this early in the past although I could be wrong. I know it's not much earlier but it just seems earlier than usual.

Maybe Pollack and Davis might do some sort of college gameday pre/half/post show? What im hoping for is the bring in Brent Musburger for commentary with Herbie. They can still use Nessler for regular games but for the saturday night primetime games (game of the week), conf championships, bcs bowls it would be cool to hear musburger on commentary. also for those particular games they should use the abc theme and intro.

YES YES YES lol I said this in a thread I made not too long ago but their chemistry would bring life to Commentary IMHO

That is early. I would think the 9th or even the 16th would make more sense. It seems like it usually comes out Mid-July to me. Or sometime in the early teen days like 10-15ish. I won't complain if it comes out the 2nd though.

Could it mean that they are "CONFIDENT" that they are going to publish a game that will satisfy us ALL

If i was a betting man, July 9th would be the release date. The 16th seems too late. The 2nd would be great! Id take a later release date if they work the bugs out.
