EA: Still time to put Team Entrances into HUM vs HUM online and OD games

As someone that plays in large ODs, I can say with 100% confidence that you don't speak for everyone that plays in large ODs.

So even in an online dynasty against the computer... The entrances won't be there? Or am I reading this wrong.

Reading it wrong, or I hope you are. Last year entrances still worked against the CPU in OD's, so I doubt they changed it.

no, only in user vs. user games.

online dynasty games against the CPU are technically offline, so the entrances "Should" still be shown.

Trust me, if their backs were up against a wall they would get a lot more done. If someone were to come in an compete against EA, this franchise's attitude would change real quick.

That doesn't mean it's easily added to their existing code.

As far as their backs against the wall, pure speculation on your part, you have no more knowledge of the situation than anyone else. Your point about if they had competition is also speculative at best since NCAA has never really had any competition. Really can't count Gameday or 2k's abortion of an attempt at NCAA football as competition.

I don't. However I didn't make a statement with any certainty whether it was or not. See the difference? Simple logic.

You said they could easily put it in. Again I ask how do you know?

This is not a matter of not enough time(though I am sure this game is for the most part done). This is a matter of personal design philosophy.

Why put in a cut scene and force both players to watch it? Online play is about competition, not cutscenes.

Eventually, after seeing the same cutscene about fifty times, I will always skip, unless of course Army-Navy gets its own cool cut scene!

Here's a thought: if it's not important enough that you think it should be included in online games, then skip it altogether and add something else. I don't really care that much for the pre-game intros, but I basically play online 100% of the time, so what this amounts to is that they dedicated a HUGE amount of programming time to something that effectively never shows up for me when I play the game. I'd rather they take the time they used for that and focus on any number of other things.

Truth.

Truth.
