What to expect over the coming days

As I prepare to depart tomorrow for the EA Football Community Event I thought I would leave a few details as to what can be expected each day.

Wednesday: Travel day. Considering the cross country flight and time change it’ll eat up practically my entire day. I’ll check in when I’m settled and update the site with anything that may have been missed during that time.

Thursday: NCAA Football 09 and NFL Head Coach 09 are featured. For myself I’m expecting to sit with NCAA for about three hours so I can report back on how things have changed since playing it last month. I’ll probably be on Head Coach for closer to six or seven hours. Once back into the hotel I’ll write up initial reports on the two games. I may have a chance to do a live blog at some point while in the studio but I can’t commit to that yet.

Friday: I’m looking at about 10 hours of Madden time. Once back to the hotel I’ll work on an initial report. I suspect there will be some features we are asked to hold back on discussing but other than that I don’t believe there will be any restrictions. I may have a chance to do a live blog at some point while in the studio but I can’t commit to that yet.

Saturday: Traveling back and likely posting up more event related content. I may hold a live blog to try and answer questions and give impressions on requested areas.

Continue leaving your suggestions or requests in the previous posting or you can leave them here. I’ll take them into consideration when playing but I can’t guarantee I will be able to address each one directly.

[quote comment="22395"]I haven’t heard anything about franchise mode in Madden this year. could you please look into that, the features, editing player’s positions, the drafting in it… stuff like that.
thanks[/quote]

I’m not much of a franchise guy, but there are some there that I’m sure will go into it in depth. Plus there is supposedly a producer blog on franchise mode coming near the end of the week.

Will you be able to look at player ratings? If you do, I’d like to know Carlson’s and Trufant’s.[/quote]

Hey I was wondering if you can check out if they are going to add hairstyles back in the ncaa game this year, i.e. Dreads. I know they have them in madden. What happened to them in ncaa?

Hey Pasta,
Could you check NCAA to see if:

A)Formation Subs (not package subs) are in.

B) if the USER can make 2 players have the same number. In the past this was only possible if it was set up that way in the default rosters. Often 1 player on offense & 1 player on defense will have the same number. I always have to change quite a bit about EA’s default rosters & this makes it a pain sometimes!

Thanks again for the info!
