Born4Corn: it's cool bro.

What I really want to know, is for the team specific entrances, do they have actual sound? Like the VaTech 'enter sandman' or Nebraska 'tunnel music' etc. Or do they have announcers introducing the teams etc. Did anyone gather anything on this?

I'm wondering the same thing. I have a bad feeling it didn't, just like I have a feeling Virginia Tech's didn't make it. EA probably focused on the ones that didn't involve music. Virginia Tech's and South Carolina's entrances are the 2 best (yeah, I'm biased) but both of them require having a specific song in order for them to be effective. I seriously doubt EA ponied up the money for "Enter Sandman" and "2001" and instead focused on entrances where the teams just run out hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm, rubbing some guy's rocks, or whatever.

The dream is finally coming true! Finally we have a college football video game that we can actually appreciate this year! Finally we have ESPN and pregame entrances!

The blog says that Va Tech's is in....also they could pretty easily add a custom stadium sound for entrances like someone else suggested after I made a comment about VT.

Because of rights, they probably wont have actually songs, But if EA is smart, they'll let us do custom entrance music

Custom stadium sounds will more than likely include an option for entraces, so Enter Sandman and songs like that can be added for authenticity.

I would guess that non-school music would likely not be there. they would have to get a license/rights for each song, and I don't see them doing that.

it's possible that they would add in a custom stadium sound event for the entrance though.
