Ian took a note from the success the SCEA devs had with MLB The Show and they've seemingly gotten on the right track. All we've seen from NCAA is team builder and team showdown. Same dance same song.

So because Madden has shown videos and NCAA hasn't, then Madden has made progress and NCAA hasn't?

Well um... that's not all that I said, but considering the videos Ian has posted have given us an idea on the progress they've made then I'd say yes. For example the running animations; they weren't realistic and the community didn't approve. So what did Ian and company do? They tweaked it and gave us a video on the progress made as well as confirmed to us they they were further working on the animations. NCAA, from what we've seen still has the same terrible running animations.

They're weren't colored cleats in the game and people voiced there disapproving opinion on the subject. What do Ian and company do? They added team specific colored cleats. In NCAA we still have the same generic white or black cleats that hardly anyone wears.

There weren't various sock lengths in Madden, and again people weren't satisfied. What did Ian and company do? They added various sock lengths.

We begged for more presentation. What did Ian and company do? Added better and more deep presentation.

The list goes on and on.

I'd like to have all the stadiums and everything perfect but it's not going to be the way I like. Teambuilder is a great tool for allowing flexibility within the game. It opens the series up to a whole new demographic which is a smart move on their part. Just because you and all the elitist "I am a 100% realism gamer" don't want to use TB doesn't mean it isn't a great feature. I think season showdown is stupid but I don't make threads and bash it. Some people love collecting "points" and that kind of stuff, however I could have -10000 pts and not care. It's all about personal opinion. I thought the game was acceptable last year even though some things really pissed me off. I still had a blast with the game and played the hell out of it. I see no change this year and there's no way it can be worse gameplay-wise than last year (at least I hope). If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's pretty simple.

You've just made my point. That which is actually apart of real collegiate football takes a back seat to the fluff. You said it yourself. Presentation, which is one of the major aspects of actual collegiate football that make it as great as it is, is still pretty much the same.

Cosmetics.... again, a MAJOR part of collegiate football. College football players probably have more variety and detail in they're game attire than any other sport, yet it's virtually non existent in NCAA.

But we get team builder, which has absolutely nothing to do with actual college football. Sadly enough, we're content with this.

I've never made a thread bashing season showdown, although I do find it meaningless.

I wont.

I don't get this when it allows you to make actual teams that play real football in the FCS, D2, D3, NAIA?

You're seriously excited about creating D3 and NAIA schools?

no, but i'm sure people that attend those schools are and your comment was that it has nothing to do with college football like it or not those schools qualify as college football

I'm fairly certain that know one, including those who attend the schools want to play as Avila, Highland, Illinois College, etc. I'm almost positive. As for FCS schools? They should be in the game.

i'm still just completely missing your point so you only know one person that means nobody is going to make those teams? and the comment i responded to was that these schools have "absolutely nothing to do with actual college football" which i'm still just puzzled by. Also to me this is way better than having FCS teams come with the game because in last gen those teams were never done right and there were only a few of them. now you have access to all of them and you can basically make them completely authentic
