I love the NCAA Football series. It's a fantastic simulation to the real life game for the most part.

But there has one part of the game that has bothered me for as long as I can remember. It's not something I've heard about as a new feature in '11, but I may have just missed it. It's not even a difficult change at all.

There is no reaction by teams for wins. They stand at the line of scrimmage until time runs out, the whistle blows, they stand up, and about three seconds later the crowd erupts into cheers like it was a surprise.

Whether it's a last second field goal or a blow out, a win against a cupcake or a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, there has been no difference in the reaction of the winning team. It kills me. The best part of this game is building your team up over years to finally win a National Championship, and when you do it doesn't even feel that great. Your team looks like they just beat Western Kentucky in a scrimmage game. No confetti, no team celebration, no crowd build up for the last minute or two of the game, no players running onto the field from the sidelines.. nothing.

It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to do. Maybe just four cutscenes? A cupcake win, a big regular season win, a bowl game win, and a National Championship win?

Anyone agree? Disagree? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
