That seals it as far as I'm concerned. Full player editing is in the game.

Thanks for the update. That's great news to hear, and a welcome return.

Based on the fact that the gameplay has greately improved and the AI is generally tighter, you WON'T be buying the game?

Wow.

One playable camera. Ugh. Its hard being a fan of this game. A complete love-hate relationship. Fixing stuff every year....not fixing stuff every year. Sigh.

No game is perfect, but you look at what the 2k team did with NBA, and what Sony did with MLB, and you wonder why EA cant get closer to greatness with their titles.

I think most of the guys that went to community day thinks this game is going to be outstanding.

You compare apples to apples not apples to oranges.

He was the one that told me co-op was not in, but I KNOW that at the team select screen there were clearly 4 separate controllers on the menu...that would sure SEEM to be 2-on-2 co-op play, but like I said, we never tried it out to check... It is possible that Ian was talking about co-op in a different sense, but he seemed pretty clear on it not making the NCAA build...

WTF.

This is just simply ridiculous. No co-op.
I can't see how this can be so difficult to implement in a game--especially since it was in Bill Walsh College Football back on the Genesis.

Online will be a cheesefest again, you can tell by his comments.

Pass.

Moose,

Thanks for the detailed impressions. Sounds like the gameplay will be pretty tight.

One thing I've been wondering about is the kicking game. Is it still as easy and as bad as last year?

Thanks
