I thought I would make one post to keep everything organized. Here are some of the features, upgrades...

CUSTOM CONFERENCES

This is without a doubt one of the deepest features added to the game in years. With conference membership movements, conference rule changes, and editing BCS bowl tie-ins the combinations you can make in your Dynasty are almost endless. Plus, you can make updates in future years of the Dynasty, which not only allows you to make updates based on changes in the real world, but also allows you to make whatever changes you prefer to see in your Dynasty.

DYNASTY

Incoming Prospect Ratings Finally, we've updated the incoming ratings for all generated prospects with a focus on ensuring they are consistent with the recruits on the default roster. Now you won't notice a drop off in overall player talent in future years of the Dynasty when the players on the default roster have graduated. I think you will find that some positions, in particular Kickers and Punters, will be far more accurate this year.

CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS

First, let me establish some basics for custom playbooks, and address some of the questions I have seen on the forums. You will be able to create 30 Playbooks, 15 for both Offense and Defense. These Custom Playbooks can be used in Offline and Online Dynasty, any Play Now game, and in Ranked Online games.

COACHING CAROUSEL




Here is what you get if you pre order from certain places...

Will this bonus make you more likely to pre-order the game from EB Games or GameStop?

Also on their product page is this brief game description confirming another team specific entrance - Oklahoma's Sooner Schooner:
  • Authentic Gameday Traditions - Feel the true emotion of college football as your team runs onto the field with new pre-game traditions like the Sooner Schooner and Ramblin' Wreck, and celebrate big plays alongside school icons like Chief Osceola, Uga, and Tommy Trojan.
  • Enhanced Tackling Engine - Your college gameday experience rises to a whole new level with an all-new momentum-based collision and tackling system that allows you to control a player through the moment of impact.

Finally! Some worthwhile changes. Tio Rana will be pleased.

I just don't get why they spend so much time on things like the coaching carousel...do people really want that? I mean, I would rather they spend time on gameplay and such as opposed to something like that. Oh well, just me.

Some people like just calling plays/doing the coaching and not actually playing.

I just dont like the idea of only controlling one aspect of the team. If you start as an offensive coordinator, thats the only part of the team you can control and you have to meet certain goals, etc...You can only control both sides of the ball once you become a head coach.

If it is like last year, if you play the demo, you can have the TCU Pro Combats. I think I heard it was the same deal this year.

I am so glad I have an Xbox. Other than not having Blu-Ray, it is perhaps the best decision I have made when it comes to consoles. I do wish I could play games like Killzone, but I have Gears of War and Halo.

Who here plays the Xbox version? If you wanna play online when it comes out hit me up at pfcForrest Gump (there is a space between forrest and gump)

What they need to get rid of and it still amazes me people spend time on that part of the game is the stupid mascot stuff. Quit putting so much energy into the mascot games and maybe you could shore up some bad parts of the real game. That and the stupid intro stuff.

I fast forward through every intro into a game. I don't care one bit to see Ralphie run out or the Oregon Duck ride a Harley out onto the field. Who really cares?

Give me better dynasty stuff and gameplay that crap like that.

Im with you on mascot games. Very lame. I like the intros though. I want the game to be as close to real life as possible.
