O ok I thought you meant people would be upset in that the feature was misleading and would of had more to it.

I never played campus legend so I did not know the camera angles were so bad.

Someone needs to notify the NCAA dev. team and tell them that Season Showdown is not really all that great of a feature. They are hyping the feature way too much. In the end its not going to prove anything. To me this feature is only better than mascot games. Other than that, this feature is pretty stupid. The feature is only usuable during the season. So please, talk about something else that matters. Season Showdown = BUST.

And about the clown who said the game overrates UF and FSU, you better go look again. Florida is the national champions, with all key pieces coming back. Florida should be the best team in the game. FSU and Miami have both been overrated for the past few years seeing as how both of them are 7-8 win teams with high 90s overall rankings. Florida States offensive and defensive ranking in last years game was an absolute joke.

"Seems like EA doesn't like Miami. Always overrate FSU and Florida. Heck, even UCF is overrated. Plus those videos they made Miami look horrible, whoever was controlling Jacory Harris ran into those sacks 100% of the time."

Ahhhhhh....Just got done laughing at how ******** cane fans are on their scout.com freeboard. Then come over here and see the same thing...Makes me wonder.

Overrated UF is laughable. They certainly weren't overrated last year when they won the MNC. They won't be overrated this year with the team that won a MNC last year and brings back all 11 starters on D? Must be a cane thing .. You must be a cane fan who plays online all the time and is sick of players "cheeeeeeeeeeeeesing" with UF.

I do agree with you on FSU...Their rating last year was laughable. Ben H is such a clown.

I think it's quite amusing that EA is hyping this the way they are for a feature that is essentially going to be running in the background and forgotten within a week. I don't care that they added it, I care that they are going to such great lengths to justify and feature background noise over actual improvements to the game. I am more pissed at the fact that the video looks like 09 with a glossy finish. Cookie-cutter player models (everyone has the same body type, just taller and thicker), players have no weight to them, animations still suck. Linebackers still have crazy verticals and hands of velcro, and it looks like user-picks are still easy to pull off- just strafe and jump. I bet presentation still sucks - even adding Erin Andrews can't make it good to look at. I bet the crowds are still as apathetic and generic as ever. This is a rental for me now. It seems the devs are avoiding discussing any real gameplay enhancements and it's pissing me off. Here we are less than two months from launch, and all anyone knows is that they are bringing in some fluff from Madden 09, a few of the minor tweaks from Madden 10 (except the added QB attributes - why?), windsocks and nets (which I bet the animation for will look extremely artificial and become annoying).

Sure you were GT fan. I'm sure all the engineers on the GT boards are having very enlightened discussions on world events.

Season Showdown is probably the most pointless, boring, ******** "feature" in quite some time. I mean..seriously...who friggin' cares?

That being said..the vid looked very nice.

I guess I'm the only one that thought the video looked good. Maybe it was the GMac to Julio pass, but the O-line play looked much better. He took a short drop and stayed in the pocket. Would like to see what some of guys who know more about Xs and Os felt about it.

I agree 100% (except for the Michigan DB being clueless on the Notre Dame catch - actually, that might be accurate).
