Which is far more important that logos on the field. At least we are getting Bowl and Conference Championship end zones. Thanks Adam. This is a really nice addition IMO.

I get that, but I don't play online at all so for me it doesn't have much value

While I understand the "real point of the feature" I just don't understand why it'd be done half-assed. Why is it so hard to deliver to sim-realistic players? Cheesers can only play the game so long until they bore each other out, while players like me and my dynasty guys, or players like Squeezee12 continue to play the game relentlessly, and this is what we get????

Boise St in the PAC-10 but that wont be reflected in their homefield or their jerseys, woopi woo, thanks you guys, such an amazing feature.

With all the additions and the seemingly new direction that the EA football franchises seem to be going. Would you and your guys perfer to have onfield logos at the cost of Team specific bowl endzones, or would you sacrafice the new WR/DB interations. These guys don't have infinate ammounts of time. I'm not going at you specifiacally vrrabbit. But There is a lot going on right now with both games. I'm sure they will look into confrence logos for 2011, but it seems like you are saying that this is a deal breaker for you, when there would seem to be a lot of positives going on in the EA football shop this year.

You're just supporting my point, how in the hell can you be able to have team specific bowl endzones but no the have the on field logos? My complaint is, I don't like new features that are half-assed, and custom conferences truly iss

I rank this feature right up there with Mascot games. While it may be cool to some, I'll never use it.

And as he said, we don't have an infinite amount of time.

While we could do dynamic art, changing the names of conferences and the numbers of teams, adding or removing championship games, etc etc... that would NOT have made the game this year.

So then you are stuck with either a conference based dynasty or playing as your favorite team but not getting as much head-to-head play.

We felt the most important part was being able to put everyone's user team into the same conference in online dynasty. We accomplished this. We aren't going to throw away a nice improvement to online dynasty because we can't get every bell and whistle done in a year.

Well then I truly hope Custom Conferences is something the community really pushed for. Out of all the problems with OD, this one wasn't a priority IMO.
