damn alot of work to get the regular season....kool with me, thats my favorite part

6/12/2007 5:38:11 PM

hell yea, after a while i get to the point where I sim the season and just try to build a team up

6/12/2007 9:24:23 PM

yeah but more detailed recruiting makes it a pain in the ass for multiple people playing on dynasty mode

[Edited on June 12, 2007 at 9:26 PM. Reason : _]

6/12/2007 9:26:32 PM

well you need to stop having moocher ass friends and say

"No my brotha, you gotta get yo own"

6/12/2007 9:29:35 PM

i thought the current recruiting in 2007 was fine. I really dont want to deal with any more hassle in the recruiting process in dynasty mode.

6/13/2007 2:44:40 PM

6/14/2007 10:43:27 AM

I really wish they would work on the "coach mode", thats all I have do, got over actual playing about a decade ago, too damn annoying, but the coach mode hasnt really been upgraded in a long long time

6/14/2007 10:47:56 AM

Dynasty Mode Feature:

Kinda overlaps the recruitment vid.

6/14/2007 10:53:45 AM

^^ thats what NFL Head Coach is for

i'd rather them not waste time on a niche feature in a game that 5-10% people actually play

6/14/2007 1:45:35 PM

no, Head Coach didnt do that. And it was a poorly designed/paced game. And I know a lot of people that do it... most of the diehard football strategy fans I know do it

6/14/2007 1:55:48 PM

most people yooouuuu know. It isn't the mainstream. And NFL head coach prolly sold like shit, cause it did suck, so in their eyes that feature prolly isn't the most important.

6/14/2007 2:00:29 PM

bah, silly kids, one day you will see the light

Yeah, I really liked the concept, but the implementation wasn't great. Took forever to take care of all the preparation for gameday, and the limitations on how much you could do during office hours pissed me off constantly (how long does it fucking take to adjust a depth chart?).

6/14/2007 3:00:38 PM

Yeah right dude, you probably suck at the game so you just use "coach" mode to act like you're too good to play the actual games

You're like the virtual Major Applewhite

ouch

6/14/2007 3:03:54 PM

no, not at all, but I do admit I hate the arcade bullshit where some 10 year old dumbshit who has no idea what the cover 2 is, much less how to play against it, does some bullshit by just hitting X really fast.

and it goes both ways, I hate it when I get some bullshit play out of dumb luck or because the other person hit the dive when they were supposed to hit some other button, I would rather beat them in football knowledge and strategy and not just button pushing.


and I would take being an O-Coordinator at the top college football program of all time by age 29

6/14/2007 3:03:56 PM

Meanwhile I'll be Chris Simms + a spleen, beating that 10 year old dumbshit's ass with my balanced spread option attack with plenty of play action mixed in to take advantage of his over-agressive undisciplined tendencies

6/14/2007 3:08:00 PM

Ok, if you are using lets say, Vandy, they dont use a spread option.... and if you knew what I was talking about I was talking about HIM being on offense, not defense. Sigh, see, this is my point.

Applewhite was a better college QB than Simms and I don't give a damn what anyone says.

I always thought he got a bad rap.

I fell on the floor I was laughing so hard at this

6/15/2007 1:12:52 AM

most of the vids so far are of Texas Longhorns, and one of em had a kicker doing the "hook em horns" sign after a kick. since ours aint too far off, we BETTER have the wolf in there

6/19/2007 2:47:25 PM

maybe, buts not nearly as well known

6/19/2007 2:53:06 PM

so are they going to have recruiting after the season like they did in the past or does the "recruiting search" thing just go thro after the season is over?

6/19/2007 3:26:16 PM

^^ yea thats a definite, but it seems like ea does there homework when it comes to the schools, and it aint like we're a small no name school

heres to hopin

6/19/2007 3:41:45 PM

i wonder if 08 will have jetpack tackling and human pyramid field goal blocking like 2001 did

6/19/2007 3:46:04 PM

hmmm, I dont remember the graphics being that shitty in 2001... that wasnt that long ago

6/19/2007 3:49:47 PM

ahah yea in a madden thread last year i posted a alstott shot from madden 02 then one from 08

shit made me crosseyed

6/19/2007 3:59:04 PM

so thats real???


did gamebreaker have better graphics or something? maybe thats what I played

6/19/2007 4:02:48 PM

well they looked better as fluid graphics than still images

but those shots are also from original Playstation

and yeah those are real, i used those cheats back in the day though they locked my game up numerous times haha

[Edited on June 19, 2007 at 4:04 PM. Reason : .]

6/19/2007 4:04:06 PM

Gamebreaker graphics were worse but i liked the game better. Started playing ea in03. 01 IS a very long time ago.

6/19/2007 4:13:59 PM

not to me it isnt, 2001 seems like just the other day

6/19/2007 4:16:33 PM

because that where your mustache look is dated to

6/19/2007 4:26:20 PM

shiiiit, try a good 25 years earlier than that, that thing is too damn cool for this century.

6/19/2007 4:29:47 PM

ncstate

overall: B
offense: B+
defense: B

unc

overall: B
offense: B-
defense: B-

has a disclaimer saying "subject to change" and not all teams are listed

6/22/2007 10:03:12 AM

seems like we're always a B in that game, no matter whether we suck cock or kick ass in real life

6/22/2007 10:06:15 AM

Is it just me, or is there hardly any advertising for this game this year?

I can't find any new previews or articles, few blogs, and no actual advertising.

And release is a month away?

Wow, pretty generous this year.

6/22/2007 11:24:16 AM

i'm gonna play games as florida state again and again and again until i catch a glimpse of chuck on the sidelines

6/22/2007 11:28:34 AM

lol

6/22/2007 11:36:28 AM

Bowden should stick Chuck up in the booth

"Wow, pretty generous every year. "

We're always one of the best unranked team on the game and better than many top 25 teams. I think our defense was an a last year? or one year after we lost a tone of guys. Jay davis was like an 85.

6/22/2007 12:04:06 PM

^yeah, they overrated Jay Davis big time, hahaha....and marcus stone. I don't believe Marcus has ever been under an 83 or so on the game, and in real life hes like a 70

6/22/2007 12:24:56 PM

http://www.gametrailers.com has all kinds of new videos up

6/22/2007 12:58:20 PM

sweet.



I really wish they would show the pregame routines/entrances...

[Edited on June 22, 2007 at 2:58 PM. Reason : d]

6/22/2007 2:54:27 PM

i dont remember there being em in ncaa 07, i usually skipped em to get to the game

i like maddens revamped intros tho

6/22/2007 4:21:02 PM

I mean like school specific...


Dotting the "i" at Ohio State
Running the T at Tennessee etc


I am a sucker for old school traditions

very nice.

6/24/2007 11:47:21 AM

ya looks pretty bland and those guys suck at the game. I want to see players touching play like a champ today, bands , fireworks, pumped in the tunnel by the ice machine. Hell, I would even love to see walk of champions, a national college gameday you can watch each week etc.
