Ditto

U too are also granted strength my son. And may the force be with u. LOL!

If you arent kidding (and please please tell me this is a joke) theyve already said Mascot games take about half a day to get in there and take up no space.

yeah, saw that too after I had already posted. Once again, duh..on my part.

I seem to remember the momentum meter being there around like 2000 or 2001 and then making a return in 2007, I believe. Anyone else remember this as well? Or am I mistaken? That could have been from one generation to another, though...

Yea I do remember the momentum meter except is kind of chessy b/c i remeber the CPU having an unfair advantage. Cuz if they had a full meter and u got a pick six or a long run for TD it would only move the meter a lil.

So is Field Degradation not in either???? If so thats another blow to the "immersion factor"....and is something I love seeing over the course of the game.


OMT said it should have been in....and if it isn't I want to know what happened

Re: EA Focused Once Again on Visuals And Atmosphere

It had better have field degradation. It has it on their website, at least:

I know...thats whats so confusing, and it will only make me more disappointed considering they have been listing it as a feature

With all that extra space on the sidelines near the back off the endzone..why doesn't EA create and put the Unversity band there? College football is not college football without the bands !!!!!!

Re: EA Focused Once Again on Visuals And Atmosphere

the developers should realize that people are really frustrated with the apparent lack of progress on the ps3/360 versions of the game. so yeah, people are going to be pissed about mascot games if the game still doesn't have things that were in the ps1 or ps2 versions. personally, i don't want someone spending 5 minutes implementing a mascot game if it's still a product that lags behind the last gen version.

and the "haterz" should realize that these guys are trying to fix the game and their hearts are in the right place, it's just going to take some time.

the reality is that the debacle of the 2006, 2007, and 2008 games means that we might get one quality, finished product this gen.

progressive lighting was in ncaa football 07 for 360, and it was awesome.

[hq3000]

I had said in a previous comment that I may never buy another Madden, but the past few months have made change my opinion of the game. It just looks great and if the gameplay for ncaa is any indication it is much improved. I apologize for that remark and hope that OS forgives my ways.

On a lighter note i pre ordered ncaa for the first time ever. This will be my first attempt at playing the college game. It just looks like a great game and now i can understand the college game better. Nice.

"One thing some will really be let down about (the thing I alluded to at the start of this piece), however, is the fact that the time and weather for these football games is not progressive -- meaning they do not change as you go further ahead in the game. So if you start a game at the dusk time setting it will still be dusk the entire time you are playing the game. Something like that is a little disheartening to a details nut like me."

I've been playing through a dynasty in NCAA 07 NG recently and I *have* noticed the time of day changing. I've started several games that went from being afternoon games to night games. Did they take this out of 08?
