Looks like Phil and I's efforts are starting to make waves. Not only did a) we not get in much trouble, but b) now teams are taking notice and following our lead.

NCAA Designer Adam Thompson (master of all things uniforms/stadiums/reference) has started posting and answering questions here at OS:
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-hello-ea.html

NCAA is pretty much wrapped up so I would assume they will be more in "answering questions" mode than in "feature changes" mode, but it's a good start nonetheless. I would also look for more of their team to start visiting various sites as well.

Thanks again to you guys for making the experience so positive in the short time we've started doing it...

thank YOU Ian, and Phil too

i know i speak for many when i say that i'm glad to see the Madden (and now NCAA) making efforts to come into the community (and i don't think you'll find a better place than these OS forums) and really get in touch with the consumers to see our point of view and allow us to create a win-win situation for you guys and us.

thank you guys

Agreed. I don't think there's any question that this sort of interaction has been a long time coming. Nothing but good (for both sides) can come of it.

If you had been my employee, Ian, you'd be on the street:P

Good to know attitudes are changing around there.
