Sparty The Spartan From Michigan State University Selected as NCAA Football 09 Cover Mascot For The Wii

I don't understand. The polls closed last Friday and the updated standings showed Washington State the winner with Michigan St. 4th overall behind UCF and another school.

The Wii is going to use the previous gen's engine. That's why it'll have 1-AA, while 360 and PS3 probably will not.

That cover art is not the final version. It's just something the online staff put together for the Mascot Challenge.

Those results were from Monday. Despite stating they were 'Current Standings', they were not.

I hope the Wii version is really important to the NCAA team and have top notch development. They need to talk to the team that worked on Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Wii and get some tips and ideas. Peace.

Are you sure? I really hope you are right, as I was expecting more from EA in that area.

Anyways, can't wait to give the ol' Wii version a spin!

I can confirm that this isn't the final cover. Because voting ended Friday and we announced just a few days later, we devised an interim cover while the final pack art is being created. When we have the final art, we'll post it on the web site and send it through to the community sites as well.

PS3 and 360 will not have 1-AA. Its in the Wii because its was built upon the PS2/Xbox version of the game. So you will be playing that version with the new Wii features. Thats all. If they were going to put 1-AA in the 360/PS3 version, I believe they would have already announced something before saying they are in the Wii version. Also I've said it a number of times, the guy who did the artwork for Texas St. was told flat out by an EA employee that 1-AA would not be on current gen consoles this year.
