Re: ESPN Integration

WOAH! I love the ESPN Magazine thing...I always was very fond of Sports Illustrated in the last gen NCAA games. This is awesome! Now the only question I have left about presentation is who the commentators are...

Where does it say anything about ESPN the mag? Did I miss it?

Who knows acept the NCAA DEV team lol. Like he said in the blog. More info to come. But I'm sure it is a big upgrade from what they got right now in ncaa 10. They will let us know soon.

Thats why they are using Madden debuggin tool aswell to fix the gameplay. And also thats why they implanted the new locomotion engine in this year to help out big time. If you had been reading the earlier blogs they had put out. You would see they are focus more on gameplay this year more then ever. That goes for both NCAA DEV team and Madden team. Gameplay is going to be a lot better this year with the locomotion in there and with them using the debuggin tool to fix the problems with the catching game. But I do know how you feel. I want to see some live video clips now like the rest of you do. We will get videos soon enough.

They already talked about this. Its called Locomotion. And they are adding the new Madden catching system to the game also

Maybe I'm wrong, but I interpreted, "You can now filter ESPN news articles by you favorite Sports, Conferences and Teams" as ESPN the Magazine. Thats just how I saw it.

Also, the quote, "I cant wait to show you guys our next major presentation update." has me intrigued. College Gameday? Team Entrances? Man I'm stoked!

Re: ESPN Intergration officially leaked

Could be a nice touch, but I know I don't have to bring up the fact (and yet I will) that we are lacking so many things that we had back in 2004. And the fact that almost none of them have been added back between 2006 when the game first came to the 360 and now. What atmostphere elements have been added back to the game since 2006? Gimmicky "run around after the touchdown and celebrate with the mascot," a pre game band, windsocks, and a little more sideline detail.

This year we get refs on the field and some new graphic overlays.

Where are:
Team Intros
Pregame warmups
Coaches
GameDay studio show
Cut aways
National Championship Celebration

Not to mention things they've never gotten right such as:
Crowd participation, volume, and timing.
True team celebrations (mobbing a player who scored a big TD)
Game winning celebrations (fans or players)

I am very happy with the list of things THIS YEAR, so I probably shouldn't complain. I will most likely actually buy the game again this year, but like many have said, what if they would have put in this much effort every year? We'd have an amazing game.

As a side note: To those that said some of us would never be happy, I'm happy now. Even if all this stuff (locomotion mainly) doesn't quite work as well as advertised, you can tell they are making an effort. I can't really say that's happened in the past.

Like it said as the end of the blog bro. He told us that there is more news to come on presention. So don't worry. We are all getting a little excited. But getting excited ain't going to get the next blog here any sooner.

Re: ESPN Integration

The fact that they will be using current graphics has me stoked as well.
