When it comes to taking games from good to great, its usually the little things that help make that transition. Like in both MLB games, seeing the players batting like they do in real life really adds to the immersion. Seeing Derek Jeter come up to the plate and do all the little things he really does in real life is just awesome.
Having the signature quarterback throwing animations in Madden 10 was a nice addition too. It added to the immersion. Having the player''s having the correct equipment was nice and added to it as well. But there are other things that should be included. These aren't facemasks, cleats, or signature running styles. These are team traditions.
Imagine playing as your favorite team and you travel to Wake Forest. The game starts and they come out behind their car like in real life. Then the game starts and you play. When it comes time for the 4th quarter, the clock will hit 0:00 in the 3rd and then the camera will pan around the stadium and show all the players and fans holding up 5 for John Abbate.
Or, imagine traveling to Missouri and they come out their smoke like in real life, they run their offense like in real life, but they also have their specific sounds. When they get a first down, imagine hearing the Tiger Roar and how it would add to the game.
Another thing they could add that teams like Missouri and Miami both do is hold up 4 fingers at the start of the 4th quarter. This symbolizes that games are won in the final quarter. Having the camera travel through the stands like a real broadcast showing fans holding up 4 fingers would really help make this the best NCAA game ever.
