I do appreciate EA listening to us and trying to bring some of those things to the game.

it's already been aluded to numerous times there will be no FCS teams this year so forget it and join us in praying for CAS that's our only hope.

Well, since it is well documented what features have been announced so I don't know where you get this. I know Greg said something at NCAA Strats that was interpreted as this and constantly repeated on the boards... I guess if you say something enough times people will begin to think it is true.

Excellent! Little things add up to a lot. Great job OMT!

I love the updates and your comment on how we should feel "underwhelmed" at this stage. If that's the case, the next couple of months should be fantastic.

I appreciate what you're trying to say, but all the devs including you have made references to 120 teams which would rule out the FCS. I'm not trying to be a downer just stating what has been said over and over

I think some people are disappointed because Madden announced something big and NCAA announced a small (yet very welcomed) feature; OMT just can't win. Still it's not even March yet, if it were early June when this was announced then the anger would be understandable.

Something of interest to me:

Fortunately, our brilliant graphics engineers created what is called the Texture Compositor. This was originally developed for handling created stadiums and uniforms for Madden. It allows the game to take multiple pieces of art and combine them into one as the game loads.

Out of mild curiosity, if stadiums are now broken into pieces, does that mean we will be able to... I dunno... mix and match those pieces... for... I dunno... maybe created schools? Just wondering.

Yeah, there are 120 teams in the game right now. I don't talk about NCAA 10 unless it is something I'm authorized to.

I'm not saying FCS IS in of course, I'm just saying it shouldn't be considered out at this point.

Take it one step further.....mixing and matching pieces of art could possibly....i dont know....maybe.....be generalizable to player models as well? So that we might be able to, for instance, i.e. for example have alternate uniforms FINALLY?

Sure, the two models that the art applies to are very different, but I'm actually pretty optimistic that we might get alternate uni's on next-gen.

Maybe I didn't post that right

This is EA's version:



This is what it should be:
