I worry about the implementation of the grades and discipline. EA is for all practical purposes making virtual representations of these kids. Sure, they can't use the actual names but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to figure out that S #20 for USC is Darnell Bing or QB #6 for Clemson is Charlie Whitehurst. How is EA supposed to quanitfy these kids tendencies to skip class, take steroids, etc... What about grades? A 3.7 GPA at Vandy, Furman, or Rice means a whole lot more than a 3.7 at Ga. Southern or S. Carolina. It's fine to apply that kind of thing to fictional players recruits in alter seasons, but what about the actual kids currently on teams who may or may not get represented as thugs, steroid users, or Remedial Studies majors?

I saw that West Virginia Picture with Rodriguez getting
the gatorade Bath, and I was wondering if they are going
to have the WVU Stadium Upgrade in the game...

Hopefully the EA people did their homework....

It's already being done for the pro games.

If anyone makes a judgement on a player because of a video game, then that person should be locked in a cell. Seriously.

COME ON JULY!!!!

I liked that gatorade bath screen. Can't wait for the Boise State coach to get it. (sorry I don't know his name) They're going to be the first team I use in Dynasty.

Thats what i was thinking.....The NCAA will allow "Steriods" but not allow EA to show the fans taking down the goal-post after a big game?
