Sucks that the guy playing chose this ugly uniform combination for us, but pretty cool nonetheless....

SWOPE!

white helmets!

stop running to the outside!

SINCE WHEN DO HALF THE FANS WEAR WHITE!

we would muff the punt on the video game as well

The all maroon unis and white helmets are tight looking.

they did a poor job with the student section . .. doesn't look imposing at all

yeah and everyone was in their assigned seats....whats up with that??

Not one person in the Zone had a Lemon Ice. SO unrealistic.

No waffles?

And whats with this "Defense *clap clap* defense *clap clap*" stuff?!?!?

too much white in the stands, the student section looks calm, and there is no mixture of cyrus and cmike in the running attack. i don't know who plays a video game and runs to the sidelines like that.

This game looks awful... they've put virtually no work in game mechanics/announcing from this little video.

That was absolutely horrid. For all their talk about college atmosphere and pageantry, EA put nothing in that game to distinguish A&M from any other generic team: no cannon, no yell leaders, no corps of cadets, nothing. It was a bit painful watching that, having seen how they overloaded the game with T-sip traditions.

Not to mention, it was way too quiet between plays to be Kyle Field.

That looks terrible. I hope the actual game doesn't look like that. They obviously put absolutely zero effort into designing Kyle Field. And maybe it's my computer screen, but I didn't think the graphics were very good either.

I've found the demo versions to be pretty bad every year. I almost think they do it on purpose to sandbag for the real one. I don't know.

Lose the white helmets.....

the game is awesome

Agree with everyone who said it looks awful. Literally the only difference from last year that I could see is a couple new tackle animations. Very disappointing.

And I'm a sucker so I'll still buy it.

Phil, hate to tell you, but that video is of the actual game. Texas A&M is not one of the demo teams.

watty, don't buy it. Join me and we'll have a 2 man boycott! I'm sticking with NCAA 11. In fact, I'm going out today to buy NCAA08 (because of its beautiful progressive lighting) for $1.58 at Game Stop.

Never was critical to the changes, but just from the video, they clearly dumbed the atmosphere.

Stadiums had more solidarity in home crowd color. Graphics don't look quite as sharp. Kick off animation was better last year. Not much change in game play AI.

Although, I give EA credit to creating a "fantasy conference" mode. Something new.

Im excited for the coaching carousel. You start off as a coordinator at a small school and work your way up to the elite jobs.

They do have some new features, but I really only play Dynasty and Play Now, and if A&M is exactly the same as last year, without any of the tradition that A&M is so known for, there's no reason for me to buy. In fact, A&M is worse this year than last year - they have the stupid-looking current pants rather than the classic looking pants of the previous set.

Well that's not a fair complaint of the game. The game is SUPPOSED to have accurate uniforms. Whether you like our unis or not, at least they're correct this year, unlike last year.

Wasn't one of the "features" in this year's game that the crowd gets loud when you give them exciting plays? If you'll notice, after Swope's score the crowd got fairly loud and stayed that way. I think whoever was playing had crowd noise turned down. Or it could have just been me being used to having muted announcers.

The graphics look pretty much the same as last year's, which I thought were great so that's not a complaint. I'm still going to buy it, coaching carousel seems interesting.

Also, side note, the person playing as A&M was terrible, I didn't seen one pre-play audible/hot route on offense, or one line/lb/coverage shift on defense. (If you find one feel free to mention it, only watched about 4-5 min of it.)

just played the demo. The tackling is infinitely better and much more realistic.

I played as oregon at texas. Won 28-3 on heisman with 2 min quarters.

Texas has its own signature intro now so it was a great way to piss me off.

gilby had a man open in the endzone and the ball doinked off his helmet

white helmets

Gig'em

Did they get the jazz hands rights?

playing the game I thought there were a lot of improvements. The crowd noise was pretty cool, the dive catching is great
