EA Sports NCAA Football game

This is $63 at Costco for anyone who hasn't pre-ordered already.
 
Holy cow JTS is making my eyes bleed red. Hopefully that's just that particular recording. Pretty lame they have no one on the hills. Shows you they never watched an actual game...
Luckily seems to be the recording. The other red and orange teams look just as bad.
 
Cyclone tidbits from the TD video
- The video in general has really oversaturated colors, so I won't critique the ketchup & mustard colors in the video. Too many people wearing gold in the crowd though haha
- The band is not in the North End Zone, it's regular people in the band's spot.
- The Jacobsen building is missing the Iowa State graphics. Lights are off too, so it looks strange.
- No fans are on the hillside, it's all just grass
- I think I hear the tornado siren briefly after the TD before the video cuts to the next team. Glad that's in.
- New uniforms are in the game
- The practice facility is in the background. The Jack Trice bars on the building have a spotlight on them instead of the bars being lit up. At least, I seem to remember it that way in person.
- Higgins and Noel are impact players on offense
- The video ribbon behind the band is cut funny so when the TD is scored, the word touchdown is cut off
- No sign of Cy, but also no cheerleaders so they may be in the other end zone.

At the very least they have practice facility and the Iowa State Center visible behind the North Endzone. They always had a generic forest as the skybox in previous iterations.

Dynamic attendance is a thing in the game, so I wonder if the hillsides will fill up as the team improve?

EA has also come out and said that only 50 mascots are in the game, 10 of which are real animals (Bevo, Raphie, Uga, etc) so Cy probably didn't make the cut of the other 40.
 
Will be interesting to see if some of these basic things get updated/added as the year goes by, or if the updates are strictly player ratings.
 
Nice - looks like the new uniforms made it in except for the alternate storm troopers, Ames throwback and they left in all of the 2023 uniforms too!
