if you’re still at the event, can you see if they got the new UCF helmets, stadium (last year was generic), and mascot in the game? i’ve been dying to know.

Not that I really care that much about the uniforms, but it looks like that if they just give you options for jersey and pants separately that would cure most of the problem. At least for those Gophers unis. Instead of having to put 6 uni pairings in, they could give you the 3 options for jerseys and 3 options for pants and you could mix and match them anyway you wanted. That seems like an easy enough solution.

sorry looks like they don’t have the new ones in. Uniform options were maroon top, white top, all maroon. Not the new ones though.

There is no CAT (unless it hasn’t been stumbled upon yet but would think it would stand out). Should be able to give more details late Thursday night.[/quote]

dang… well that sure seems like a bad choice of wording by EA then..

trying to stay positive though (at least until tonight )… maybe they just haven’t implemented it into the build yet? ……….. maybe?

yes,

i too saw that it was a left-handed qb, so i cant see what the heck everyone keeps talking about it being booty.

John David Booty looks like the silohuette on the PS2 Box.[/quote]

I agree that it looks like Booty but there’s one issue with that. If the guy on the cover has that exact body positioning, like it was for Ryan and his silhouette, then I don’t think it could be a right handed quarterback. Can anyone think of a single cover that EA has put out that showed the back of the player and not the front? I sure can’t but I’m no expert on the covers. Not that it couldn’t be Booty, it just doesn’t seem like something EA would do with a cover.

So, who is a left handed quarterback that could be on the cover?
