Please explain to me how those things are portrayed well, and how you can actually enjoy them..

Rivalries mean nothing, and feel like any other game. There are no celebrations, no trophies being held up, no fans, nothing to make me feel like its a big game.

Bowl games now include camera flashes (wow!) and endzones (something last gen had)... Other than that..?

And there are still missing stadiums...year number 5 on next gen.

Don't get me wrong, I get the college ball itch and I'm a die hard, but whats shaping up to be another hallow game (much like 09) leaves a lot to be desired, and I just can't feel the same way you do about 10.

Re: Is NCAA 09.5 really that bad?

how can you criticize them for stadiums when they have something like 110 unique which is way way way more than any other sports game any of us have ever played?

it took about 4 years for last-gen to get all the D1-a teams stadiums in. takes more time to do the stadiums for current-gen considering everything is in HD now. don't see how this is surprising really. at least it's not like '07 where most teams were in the exact same generic stadiums.

and they weren't very authentic in last-gen either.

9.5?

This is NCAA 9.1. When EA gets rid of the stiff animations and obeys the law of physics, then it might be NCAA 9.2. When we finally get custom playbooks and formation subs that were in last gen, then in might be 9.35. When we get realistic defensive assignments and blocking schemes for the spread option, flexbone, etc. then it might be NCAA 09.5.
