I know that the majority of you are not Florida State fans. I also know most of you are very pleased with the NCAA games. I, however have been upset since the addition of mascots to this game that EA Sports has not included the fantastic sporting spectacle that is Florida State's RENEGADE AND OSCEOLA. Now, this is a little different than "I want to see Stadium additions to the game, so I'm going to make a petition."
No. The only reason EA SPORTS has not added this spectacle is simply because of the controversy surrouding it. Until now, I could see them not wanting any ramifications, but now that the NCAA has specifically backed and OK the use of the Seminole nickname and use of the mascots I don't see the problem and/or the issue. Look, if it's a HUGE problem for ram/space on the game just put them on the sidelines or something. But, how cool would it be, Seminole fan or not, to be playing against Florida State and have a screen cut that shows both teams face to face at midfield with Osceola raising up on Renegade and planting the flaming spear of battle into midfield.
I'm not sure if this will matter or not, but I'm asking you, not as Florida State fans, not as game fans, but as College Football fans to please sign the below petition. Think about what the game would be like for you if your team's most storied tradition wasn't in the game year after year. Help me take somewhat of a stand.
Sign the Petition
Thank You,
