BrutuStrength

It's time to bring it!
I can't wait for this game to come out. I hate having to wait for this stuff.

The interview goes into more detail about the home field advantage and rattled players. One neat thing I noticed, when a timeout is taken you can have your coach talk to a specific group of players.
 
Here's a nice link to a 5 page review at IGN. It covers the reviewers 5 greatest things about the game this year. It offers a nice peek into the online play for Xbox users. It also goes more in depth about the homefield advantage, matchup stick feature, and team management.

couple things i hope they fixed that i remembered after i just started playing again:

1. indefeated teams from weak conferences automatically jumping over major conference teams with one or two losses at the end of the season

2. take competition not just stats in heisman race

3. in-conference schedules need to rotate at least similar to the real thing.

4. in dynasy mode something needs to be done to prevent the same small teams (colorado state, tcu, maryland) from becoming powerhouses almost everytime because of their lack of recruiting competition and favorable schedule.

3 is fixed. 1 and 4 have been addressed. We'll see how effectively.

All I know is that it's going to take me a few more days than normal to name all the teams, lol. Not that I'm complaining, whether the rosters are 70 or 75 (I've heard both).

This looks to be the biggest leap forward (in terms of all new features) this franchise has taken in quite a few years. I'm really looking forward to it, and right about now, wishing I still had strong enough ties to the industry to have an early copy.

Here's where the guy from IGN has played a half season in franchise mode. Not too much new stuff, but it gives some greater detail about team discipline and other facets of the game.

There are also some new screenshots and videos at the site.

More pics here. The graphic quality isn't as good as some of the other sites, but it does have some pics from the greatest rivalry ever known to mankind.

You can also see a video about the introduction of the OSU-scUM game here. Herbie gives Lydell some props. FWIW- it showed OSU as #8, and scUM was ranked #9.
