What they need to be focusing on is making the crowds look more realistic, the sideline come alive and not cardboard cutouts, player models, custom cameras, etc.. These are the things that are more important when it comes to "sights" in a football game.

Also, I did enjoy the sound blog but what they showed were a few stadium chants. Why cant they show us what it sounds like when we break a big run, huge hit, score a TD, cause a turnover, late game drives, 3rd downs, throw a deep ball, etc, etc, etc. These are the things that create atmosphere. Crowd chants for a few big name schools should be just icing on the cake. I am happy they are finally working on the commentary but they are already warning us that this will be a multiple year implementation. It doesnt seem to take other games that long to get their commentary where it needs to be.....

*** Also, those running animations and short gameplay videos they showed were just cringe worthy. We are now 7-8 years into next-gen and the foundations of the game are just completely archaic. This game is not even close to as smooth as the old PS2 games were. I just do not understand what happened to football gaming on this gen.***
"I just do not understand what happened to football gaming on this gen."

Bad leadership, poor decisions, lack of focus on what made their games great in the first place. I'm to the point where I would be extremely happy if they just ported a last gen version of their football game and made it playable on this gen hardware....update the rosters, maybe smooth out some aliasing and widen the screen a bit....I'd pay $100 for that. Hell I'd probably pay $200 knowing that I wouldn't' need another football for a couple of years. I expect the jump to the new consoles to be even more frustrating than the current cycle we're already in because they'll be starting the process all over again. Anyway you slice it, the future doesn't look good for video game football.
