Agreed. The only way team entrances will really have value is if you make it a truly next-gen feature by upgrading the experience. Make it so there is some level of interactivity about it, maybe give the player control of a camera in the midst of players in the tunnel and then running out onto the field. Maybe even give the player the opportunity to have a bit of a free run with any of the players on the field during warmup kind of the way that the 2k basketball games let you partake in the shootaround sequence before the game.

I'm more worried as well, but I actually like having that added atmosphere when I'm playing Michigan State or OSU. It still goes back to the issue about the lack of nuances that really make it feel immersive. For the franchise guy, there's not really that carrot to really keep you chasing. I still haven't seen any vids addressing my pet peeve about winning the national title, only to get nothing in the way of celebration. I guess what really gets me is that my favorite game of all, Fifa08, has intros, nice cutscenes with players emoting and cutscenes celebrating winning championships. Could they be better? Sure. Do they get repetitive? Yes. But they are there for me to skip. And EA makes the title. So what's the problem. It would be awesome to have a camera or first person view to run out and touch the banner. And to see our 110,000 fans screaming in the stands singing "hail to the Victors." And to have little trivia screens while it's loading with factoids about the whole Michigan/OSU rivalry. Nope. Just a boring hall to wait in and some boring pans of the stadium. Oh yeah, we do get advertisements for Weather Channel and Coke Zero. It's really time to get that aspect of things fixed, after gameplay of course.....

I do not think it is so much the entrences as it is the "little things" that we are all looking for in the football titles that likens back to something like MLB the Show 08 has done. The littel nuances that bring the players, the plays (before and after) to life.

Uh i wasn't being sarcastic. Entrances are presentation and should be in the game if you want to advertise you're beefing up presentation.
