Cool, was gonna pre-order anyway cuz me and a couple friends have had a midnight release tradition going for a few years now.
I'm actually a uni-fan. The more the merrier. I usually pick dynasty teams based on unis.
I think a good pre-order bonus would maybe be a blu-ray (or DVD for the 360 guys) of the past NCAA Football Season in review

JB I like that idea, that would be fun to watch. CDJ, old school stadiums would be sweet too.
I'm not saying these are necessarily bad, they just don't do anything for me. Now if they were handing out additional TB slots...Quote:

An interesting post on this subject over at OS:
I smiled when I read that...until I started to think about it.Quote:
my $60 bucks SHOULD EQUATE to PRO-COMBAT UNIs without having to preorder that ish! like i said before, i hate gamestop, and will never support them. PLUS, i get my game a week early at a swapmeet. wtf EA.
If you wanted to encourage people to avoid retailers who sell the game early, can you think of a better way to do so than by making uni's than many people consider highly desirable an exclusive of the one company that never, ever breaks street dates?
I'm not one to say what my $60 pays for. I would think my $60 pays for the home and away uniforms and anything besides that is just a bonus but it appears that I'm in the minority thinking that.
I'd rather see pre-order bonuses that give you something tangible (hat, poster, blue ray). I'm not a fan of getting more/less game based on when/where I bought it.

*** Getting it in your game subject to retail pre-order. Certain features will only be made available to areas with high retail sales or campuses from which EA employees attended college. Terms and restrictions may apply. A successful season may not directly lead to a higher roster ratings for the same reasons listed above. Playing online might lead to increased heart rate, stress, and feelings of anger.
I'm hoping weight is a completely random generated number that has almost no impact. The weight of the recruits should be tied to the attributes of the player - at least loosely. After looking at a full recruit of players from the PC guys, the weight was 100% random. It makes no sense to have a 180 power back and 230 pound quick backs. OL and DL would have random generated abilities and a weight that would have NOTHING to do with them. They have to tie recruit weights to ratings to a degree.Quote:

Would also love to see Arrowhead Stadium back in the game because MU and KU play there every year and ISU played KSU there last year and that's another stadium that could be added to TB.Quote:

I wonder if it's worth it to wait for more preorder bonuses. I mean if everyone has a bonus, shouldn't you wait to preorder until you know which bonus would be most worth it?
I'm interested in buying a digital download if it means getting it early. I don't care if I couldn't trade it in as I get less than $10 the next year anyway. Getting the game early would be sweet.
If I had a big enough hard drive, I would be more interested in that too. As cool as it is to have the case, all the cases I have laying around are more suspectable to getting crushed.Quote:
