Listening now, I'll update this post as they discuss new information
- Community Event coming up in a couple of weeks
- 243 new uniform parts (pants, jerseys, helmets, etc.)
- Coaches won't wear headsets during post-game cutscenes
- New schools being added: UMass, UT San Antonio, & Texas State. South Alabama not added because initially they were told that other three were full-fledged while USA was provisional. Once they discovered they were given wrong information, it was too late to add USA.
- 86 new heads... like past, head & hair are combined so you can't select independently
- No major changes to custom stadium sounds, though now it will default back to the last school you were editing
- No progressive weather this year but something they want to add in the future; new lighting tech helps towards the progressive weather.
- Crowds will sound more lifelike... they rebuilt their system from scratch. Crowds will take into account the importance of the game, the size of the crowd, using the real-world assets that have been gathered past couple of years.
- No changes to the sidelines that occur during gameplay... difficult to do during this generation though they still look at that possibility. However new vignettes of coaches on sidelines, players as they enter the game, etc.
- Not a lot of new player equipment added this year but did add some new facemasks
- Only new mascot is Big Red from WKU though did touch on some of the existing mascots to make slight updates (uniform updates, etc.)
There's probably other new information that I might not have caught but I would say that's the majority of it. You should still listen regardless to hear our own Chris Jacobs
