    Best I can tell, EA doesn't plan to do anything officially themselves unfortunately. However, if someone wants to go through and manually capture them, I might be able to work them into my spreadsheet.

    Personally, I think G's Spreadsheet is as good or better than Fluff's program. His program was very good at doing what it was designed to do, but wasn't very adaptable. Sometimes I wanted to do searched that his tool just wouldn't allow.

    Excel, meanwhile, is extremely powerful and can do just about anything you want.

    It's unfortunate they aren't doing this with the NCAA brand this year. I really liked the application VGSports did last year (even though some of the plays were wrong) as I used them in my playbook write-ups. It's nice to see all of the play diagrams at once rather than little snippets (which just got smaller with the new play selection screens).

    Yeah I used those VG Sports EBooks a lot. I guess I'll have to do all my playbook searching in game this year.

    It was always fun to have my brother and I do a little headcoach to QB type deal where one would be on the computer looking up plays while the other was playing and call them in like a headcoach/off. coord.

    /sigh good times

    I wonder, are there any licensing issues with capturing play art? I saw Prima has a licensing deal with EA. I might be interested in doing something like this but I wouldn't want to do all that work only to get a cease and desist or worse...SUED!

    Just a guess, but I'd think if it was a free program/app/doc, there'd be no problem.

    Absolutely. Hell, what Fuzzy did on Utopia was just like that and EA never said anything. I doubt they're going to make a big deal about somebody doing something to supplement their game.
