Just curious…

Can we expect any more media or pics, preferably of NCAA 2004, from E3 or is that it for the expo??

Not a complaint…just a question.

I was going to ask the same thing. I was sort of hoping for videos, but the screens and impressions by themselves were better than just about everything that's been given by the major gaming sites.

P.S. Around when will betas be given out to video game sites? If my memory serves me correctly, it's usually 2 or 3 weeks before release.

I would like some more info on NCAA 2004 as well. I wonder what the Tigers will be ranked?

Fish,

My guess would be somewhere around 8th or so. EA doesn’t usually give Auburn “that much love” so to speak. Every preseason publication has us hovering between 1 and 6.

The bigger question I have is how EA will rate the Auburn backfield. Even though we have FOUR backs who all deserve VERY high ratings, I bet only Caddy and Ronnie will be rated high….Tre will get the shaft, Brandon…not so sure.

EA is notorious for rating backups low…regardless of how good they are.

I hate the way they rate backups, it means that by season 2 of your dynasty a bunch of teams have frosh QBs as starters. In season 2 of my dynasty, LSU, S Car, Clemson, and Arkansas all had frosh QBs starting for them. How are freshmen able to beat out Mauck, Whitehurst, and Matt Jones? I can see one of them getting beaten out, but not all of them. Backups either need to be rated better or the quality of incoming recruits needs to be bumped down.

Last year we were able to download some awesome vids of actual footage of NCAA 2003 from E3. Not to mention other games. It seems that all over the net the footage is rare.........or my cpu can't view it. Even ign hasn't got anything as far as I know.

Kirk... by game 3 or 4 Ryan Sorahan is likely going to be the Arkansas starting QB.

THats why they need to tie experience in more. Cause IRL Mauck at LSU won't be the best QB at LSU there are 2 freshmen that will be better but his knowledge of the offense will keep him as the starter.
