How hard is it to show a cutscene of the team RUNNING ONTO THE FIELD?!! Honestly...I'm serious. That would help the "atmosphere" Petey. Sorry, I'm just venting over stuff that should have been in and STAYED IN this series YEARS AGO. Still plan on buying it but Good lord I wish there were some guys in charge of this game that UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL. Not a bunch of geeks who have no clue that in reality....football games aren't 65-60 explosions with 17 turnovers a game and 3 penalties. End of rant.

Co-sign this rant....

I know not everyone will agree with me but no entrances, mascot celebrations, no pregame or post game show does not equal improved atmosphere.

I've been to the last 10 years of Iowa football games and never once did I see a player celebrate with a mascot.

I wish someone would work at EA that actually watches college football. I know the guys that make NHL 08 do, same with the guys who made NBA and NCAA 2k8 and MLB 08.

I would wet my pants if they had a couple generic entrances. I would jump up and down if my player scored, celebrated with his teammates (I actually didn't mind celebrations last year), the band played the fight song but got quiet when I kicked my PAT, and then they showed the TD, showed stats, etc. That's the way it happens on TV, why not on a video game.

That these guys think of NCAA 08 as "award-winning" and "a great game" speaks volumes.

Do you still get to save highlights?

couldn't agree more

On another note, it looks as if the Super Sim "feature" is still f'd up. What's the point in even adding this to the game if it's broken? Maybe remove it and add, IDK...team entrances....or....more teams....or...you get the idea.

I agree with AA and the mascots. If you want to get them involved have them fighting each other...everybody loves a good mascot fight! I would never skip it!

Exactly. These guys are beyond clueless.
