Wow, thats pretty clean...Hope we have a crowd like that for Miss St.
Awesome - but they have our home fans wearing red instead of blue.
Wow! Perfect.
Are those blue balls I see?
Dude, in the corner shot you can see neilson, caruthers, and wiley tower!
Can someone repost the pictures, my work firewall can't decide if it likes the site or not.
Hey, I'm forum stupid. I went back and added the images to the top. Sorry about that. Now they are all on here. No need to leave the site.Quote:

Unbelievably impressive.Quote:

are we really allowing people to sit on the hill this year or is that just wishful thinking from EA?
Haven't heard anything on grassy berm seating area. I know kids love running up and down it.Quote:

Now getting to sit on the hill in the end zone (does EA Sports know something we don't), that would exciting. I'd be sitting there with my kids for sure. Pretty cool.Quote:

Kind of ironic that we're playing Dooley's old school!! :D
the helmet isnt turned enough, but i think it's safe to assume that there is a white stripe. also, from the other screen shots ive seen from game play of other teams, there WILL be Nike checks on our shirts and Nike on our feet. Any player who wears gloves, will also have a Nike check. This is a big step, be it a virtual one, for Tech. It opens the gaming world up to people who may have not taken notice before.
According to the screenshot, Patrick Jackson is our impact player.
I'd assume Quin and ANTONIO BAKER are the other two, unless they do something stupid like give Keagle one.Quote:

T-117. Western Kentucky 60 (lowest ranking)
i would def. think that quin would be an impact player. i wouldnt put too much stock in the team ratings. they are usually off on that. i'll make them #1. have no fear. :-).
This is amazing. I think this may be the thing that finally makes me upgrade systems. Thanks EA!!!
I wonder if they will add Champ to the mascots? Or can that still be his name?:icon_wink:

I am sure Dooley hated Tech when he was at UVA...Va. Tech that is.:laugh: I just found out that Dooley's uncle, Bill Dooley, coached at Virginia Tech before Beamer. Learn something new everyday.
I would like to get the graphics of helmets in good detail for LA TECH as well as MS STATE. Can someone sendc them over?
I see the "Game-day" Shirts in my head.
Nice images! Can't wait!
Speaking of bells. I'm hoping they include Texas Tech's

They owe it to us after having us play in a generic stadium for the past two years on XBOX 360.
I tried to find an email address on the EA site to let someone know that the fans should be blue, but I couldn't find anything. Then I stumbled upon an address, filled out a comment form, then the system said it was an incomplete form and wouldn't send even though I filled in all the blanks. :s07:
Oh well, other than that, the stadium has never looked better! Even the look of the scoreboards are incredibly accurate. Kudos to EA for that.
damn, i guess i will have to break down and by a 360...
Here you go boys...seems the virtual world has a little love for us...
http://www.operationsports.com/image...944-media.jpeg
Definitely going to have to get this game.
Can someone get me 2 high res images? I would like 1 tech helmet and 1 msu helmet. Thanks.
Last but not least...the player ratings....guys, enjoy. If I find more I'll post em, but I have a feeling that this is it until the game comes out. I dont know about you, but I cant wait. There were a lot of things from other schools in the WAC, but I left that for surprise..

I'm just pulling these off of a site. I dont know if high res images exist.Quote:

Those numbers don't really add up to me. I don't see how our overall rating can be so low, but hey, what do I know? Everybody else more of interest (overall, offense, defense):
Boise State 77 81 76
Fresno State 74 81 69
Hawaii 77 75 80
Idaho 60 66 60
Nevada 69 77 69
New Mexico State 74 83 69
San Jose State 62 66 64
Utah State 60 60 69

That is the best video game ever.
Is it out now?

Hello new background.
You know...this year they have online dynasties with up to 12 people... Maybe we can do a BBB League to see who the college football champ really is
Count me in. And count me as the winner. HA.
Great idea.Quote:

Imagine being able to download the actual, say, Rivals 250 from some website, because you KNOW if they provide the functionality some dorky-ass dude will spend a week creating everyone.

Nice graphics.
Little information I came across. Tech is getting some respect it seems. NOT all teams have their real stadium yet. Some still have the generic....
teams that now have their real stadiums:
Duke
Stanford
Wash St
Navy
Idaho
La Tech
Western Michigan
UCF
Northwestern
still generic:
Bowling Green
Buffalo
San Jose State
Central Michigan
Utah State
Miami
Western Kentucky
Nevada
Ohio
Rice
Tulsa
Troy
Kent State
At least that is what I read. Could be wrong.
Our SID department bent over backwards to work with the guys from EA to make the Joe as accurate as possible in this years version.

My hats off to Malcolm and the entire SI department. The final outcome is gorgeous.
Here's to hoping that EA keeps having to make adjustments to their model over the next few years.
I also agree that it looks great. They probably just goaded me into buying this game. I feel kinda cheap.

Oh my gosh... ... ... this looks amazing ... ... ... My wife's going to miss me.
Calm down...baby steps.
This is the first time I can remember the stadium looking close to accurate. If the department is ACTUALLY WORKING with EA, then that is an improvement.
I am sure next year we will be in all blue in the stands, and I am sure the logo will be updated. But while we are discussing small details that need to get corrected, it appears on the LA Tech vs. Virginia game pics that the visiting crowd is seating on the wrong side. The visiting fans usually sit in the end zone beside the field house...they have them on them on the other endzone. Again minor detail.
The upgrades already look great though.
Red's Better.Quote:

Looks like Boise State is getting some love.............. #24 toughest place to play on the '09 game.
I wonder if EA has ducks falling to their deaths mistaking Boise's blue turf for water...

I guess this means no more sitting down for hours with my laptop in front of me trying to match a number, position, height, and weight to a real person as he appears on the official roster. I'll survive without that, I think.
Don't you really hate it when you get to a guy that isn't on the team and you can't change their class?Quote:

And no, I am not a super-geeky video game dweeb. I have a whopping total of 2 games for the xbox and none for the PS3. I needed a good Blu-Ray disc player and apparently the PS3 is about the best one there is on the market. On top of that it actually costs the same or even less compared to stand alone Blu-Ray players!
Are you trying to convince us or yourself? :icon_wink:Quote:

Both.Quote:

I completely understand.Quote:

The kicker is that for the same cost as a stand alone blu ray player of the same performance, you also get the video games, a web browser you can use on the TV, the ability to show your digital pictures and movies on your TV, and a lot more stuff I haven't messed with yet. All in all a pretty versatile piece of hardware.
I figured you would. :)Quote:

I will probably get one eventually. I bought the 360 over the PS3 originally for the additional benefit of playing Halo 3 with my brother-in-laws and nephews on xbox live. The PS3 really seems like a no brainer if you want a Blu-Ray player.Quote:
