btw....
Did anybody notice how dumb the pregrame presentation is now?
This is from the NCAA 14 webbsite.
The intros in Dynasty Mode are also deeper and more immersive than ever before. Rece Davis will set the stage with robust game storylines that are accompanied by a variety of on-screen banners, faithfully recreating the type of montages seen on ESPN before big games on Saturday. On-screen banners incorporate dynamic phrases, and there are multiple variations based on the type of game you are playing, like a rivalry or bowl game.
I recorded one of the intros, this is what they show. (FSU vs Oklahoma State at the Jerry Dome)
-FSU running out of the tunnel
-2 FSU players doing a handshake in the middle of the field
-FSU RB rolling on the ground in the endzone getting up and celebrating
- FSU QB calling an audible at the line of scrimmage vs. OK State in the Jerry Dome (wat)
-FSU RB (same one that was rolling around in the endzone) runnning out to midfield with the ball, 3 players meet him there and they celebrate.
-#NOLES
-FSU RB putting a spin move on OK State player at midfield in the Jerry Dome (wat)
-Garnett and Gold
FSU HC coaching on the sidelines, at the Jerry Dome, in the game that has yet to kickoff.
-half second cut of an empty field
lol)
FSU defender with the ball (looks like he recovered a fumble, bunch of teammates swarm him)
-Begin game.
Why do they show "highlights" of a game that has yet to be played? How is that in any way a faithful recreation of the montages seen on ESPN? Okay, the whole thing is much shorter than previous pregames, I'll give them that, but from a presentation standpoint, it's as bad as they've ever had. It's just stupid and lazy. If you can't fake highlights from previous games, don't do it at all.
