I'm curious to see what the announcement is about the dynasty commentary.. What could it be?

They probably added a few new commentary lines or something. They've said things like this before and added ~10 sayings that had vastly different audio quality than the rest of the comments.

I find 2 things interesting about this. 1) They're still focusing on static entrances 2) All of their 'great new features' they admit they took from other games (parachuting entrance from BF3, dynamic lighting and motion blur from fifa I think they said).

Its great that we get these things, but anyone else find it amusing that other EA games never need to borrow innovations from NCAA/Madden? Just a one way street eh

Edit - sorry if I sound jaded. '12 just really bothered me more than previous iterations such that I'm finding it really hard to get excited about anything they say

could be some Studio Updates from Reece Davis.....

For the love of God, let it be this, and let it be done well.

No, I feel the same way, traded in NCAA way earlier than normal last year, but I will say if these borrowing techniques help out in advancing NCAA where it needs to be, why should I care where it came from?

I want the home crowd to be "in the game" and going nuts when I break a 50 yard TD run.

I'm glad this crap is coming out in April. If we were getting this as 'hype up' material in late May or June, I'd be pissed.

Sorry EA. Not gunna get excited about you making things blurry or adding in a few more schools intros that I never play with/against.

(Anyone catch the same ****ty dreads? God...)

I hear you. As I said, Im glad they're doing it to help the game. I just find it interesting all their advancements are basically just trying to catch up with other games. And when you consider that graphics have typically been NCAA's 'strong' suit this generation... sigh

Maybe I am just too optimistic but I really don't get why more people aren't heartened by what little we saw today. Personally, considering the fact about EA having shared technology among it's games and them mentioning EAC (EA Canada) quite a few times, I am really itching for gameplay on April 17th.

I don't know how many people noticed but Tiburon and EA football seem to be trending towards utilizing EA Canada tech and talent quite a bit. Taking a look at gameplay features that are currently in FIFA and NHL but weren't in NCAA 12 might give some insight about what's in store for NCAA 13.

I'm only itching for the gameplay blog because what they showed today was so uninspiring(besides the commentary, which I still have to hear in-game).

Every year they always spend seemingly too much time on the stadiums. They're good enough already. Except of course how jagged they always look.

I am glad they are working on the audio. I fear that although they are making the crowd sound more 'realistic', my biggest issue was how they (and the commentators) reacted to in-game situations. The crowd could not tell the difference between a big play in a close game vs an inconsequential 'big play' in a blowout game.

Does this solve the problem of super leaping linebackers and secondary with eyes in the back of their head that cheat to the ball before it's even thrown?

Fix that please, not audio or dumb intro's.

Here's how i see it. They say they are updating the crowd and commentary. So when I hear that I'm expecting that crowds will be loud. Stadiums will feel hostile. Fans will erupt when I upset the number one team. Commentators will mention lasts years games. They will upstage me on season stats. Stuff like that. That's what I expect. Because what else could that mean? It has to be.

And when the game comes out and y'all tell me it's nothing like that at all. I'm not buying this game.

"Motion Blur"...Wow, I don't recall ever reading a forum post or blog where people were clamoring for this. Also, after watching the video, I don't really get it. How does having the background blurred out add to the game? I know this, I won't be playing the game with the camera angle that they showed in the video, I don't know who could (side view looking a dudes hip as he runs down the field on on a kick off). For now I guess I'll say (sarcastically) good job EA...let me know when I can control the location, arc and speed of a pass or when you finally figure out the AI logic behind switching men on defense and having it actually switch to the right guy who can make a play on the ball....or even on a more simplistic level, when I push the jump button on defense and the guy I'm controlling actually jumps. Until you figure out the basics, you're wasting your time on "blur" stuff...nobody cares.

MY GOD LOL....

I fell ya man...the stuff they choose to work on blows my mind. I have to admit though, I'm adding to the problem by buying the game. Every year I buy it and for the last 7+ years (entire life cycle of "next gen") I've hated it. I trade it in less than month after I buy it and that's that. I've completely given up on Madden, by the time Madden comes out I'm so disgusted with EA football that I no longer have an interest in video game football. I have very little hope for the future of video game football. It used to be the best time of year when all the football games would drop...the new modes, the innovation from the different developers, seeing all the potential and just genuinely being excited about playing video game football....all that has been beaten out of me on next gen. Thanks to EA.

The only thing I noticed on the motion blur video was the horrible running animations of the special teams LOL.

The sound clips were pretty good though.
