So..since Mascot games and gimmicks seem to take full priority

[Sundown2600]

What new gimmicks would you all like to see next year? Soon they're gonna have every mascot represented in the game. Can't wait for that.

How about more mini games? Easter egg head table tennis maybe? I know I'm a sarcastic jerk but I'm being dead serious. They can't fix fatigue or progression (which they say works as intended), so if we can't beat em, join em.

I vote for some type of skate boarding mini game. Let the guys wear team helmets or something. Those long gray sleeves would be perfect too. Skate board dudes rock that kind of gear all the time

When I first saw gray sleeves on a player, I thought it was the player's skin color. I have never saw a single player, at any level, wear anything like that. I think that I've saw a couple of guys wear long-sleeved gray t-shirts under their uniforms in adult flag football leagues, but not long-sleeved gray compression shirts.

Man, that was an excellent post.

i would like to see a mini game using the band and cheerleaders. perhaps they could add athentic band and cheerleading uniforms for the top 25 teams. then add the rest of the teams a few at a time over the next 5 years...

I don't think these areas have priority, I just wonder why they developed them to begin with - imo they add NO value to the game at all. I know they were thinking of kids and trying to give the game some replay value, in case people got bored with "play now" and/or "dynasty". But if they would make a SOLID college football game, that would add a TON of replay value in itself - I might actually take a dynasty 15 or 20 seasons, rather than losing interest after just 3 or 4 seasons.

I'm thinking maybe another mode of game-play that I have absolutely no interest in playing might divert my attention away from all the broken elements and missing features.

Maybe a long distance field goal contest kind of like what the 3 point competition is to the NBA might breathe new life into this game. lol

Kind of like the H-O-R-S-E mini game...but long distance...i dig it!

I knew the game had a H-O-R-S-E mini game, but honestly I've never played it or the mascot mini game. I live for dynasty and dynasty only, just not this year

How about classic teams/players and college classics?

Re: So..since Mascot games and gimmicks seem to take full priority

I would like to see a recruiting mini game where recruits are given strippers on their visits.

That sounds like a hell of a lot more fun than playing my only rival on the road EVERY YEAR, like in my MWC dynasty.

Sadly this is probably the thread the NCAA devs might actually read and use.

I'm digging the game mostly because of OD, but there's still lots of things that need to be addressed...

ncaa moments like madden moments would be cool

Re: So..since Mascot games and gimmicks seem to take full priority

those things arent priority. Theyve said it doesnt take much to put them in the game. Plus they get money from the sponsors like Coca-Cola which generate money for them to put towards the game. People make too big of a deal about Mascot game. Its been in there for years, it hasnt changed so its not like they spent a month of development last year working on it. They prob did even spend more than a day, if that, on it.

too bad they didn't spend that day working on auto/sub and fatigue...

Re: So..since Mascot games and gimmicks seem to take full priority

now this is a great thread... my idea for a great gimmick would be the option to play a powder puff dynasty. i don't mean anything boring like taking a 3 star team to BCS glory, i'm talking about cheerleaders. yeah, cheerleaders. think about it, this might be the only thing that would top mascot mashup. just give all the player models some flowing blonde hair out the back of the helmets and boost that chest size slider to the max!

and there would be no reason that troy's cheerleaders be any less freakishly gifted after three years of testerone pumps compared to usc's, although the so cal teams should probably be exclusively blonde. and to take advantage of stadium sounds, the only sound i'd play would be california girls.

if they were to FINALLY implement this, i think i'd be in video game heaven.
