NCAA Football is a great series of games (the best if you like college over the pro's). Here are the top ten (in no particular order) things that I would like to see Tiburon add to the game.
1. Improve the bad snaps. I've seen snaps that are too high, but I've never seen the ball sail over the punters head. I would love to be able to score a safety on a punt.
2. How about letting users become commissioners of the different conferences? Doesn't have to be a major feature, but I want to be able to move teams to different conferences in dynasty mode. If I want to dump Baylor from the Big 12 and invite someone else, I should be able to do just that.
3. More options for building stadiums. I want to be able to decide if I want a hill for fans to sit on, the design of the seats, "landmarks" etc.. Just the ability to make hybrids of all the different stadiums would be great.
4. Retiring a players number, and being able to see his number posted inside the stadium would be a nifty feature.
5. Adding a sort of "attitude problem" attribute to the players would be fun. The worse this problem is, the more often they would run wrong routes, refuse to play, not show up to practice, etc. I realize that this feature would be the most difficult to add, but this is my list dangit!
6. I want more interactivity in training camp. I like the idea of madden's mini-camp being implemented. I also want to be able to decide what area's to work on in the off-season (and possibly during the week in some sort of practice feature). These decisions would be a factor in what area's your players improve on. If you only work on your QB's accuracy, his arm strength would not improve at all (and possibly decrease). Bad decisions would alter your team significantly, and give the dynasty mode an added challenge.
7. How about giving us the practice mode for our dynasty team instead of just the default teams???
8. I want to be able to set my created teams rival as another created team, and create my own trophy for the game. Also, be able to enter text for greatest games, so I can record the big 80 yard run that Pittsburgh used against me in the national title game, and describe the rivalry game as well.
9. Have more fun with Sports Illustrated! I realize they might not have had time to do things, but let SI show fan polls, made up stories and letters from fans, profiles, and stuff. I want more than just pictures (and c'mon, let me save the SI covers to my trophy case)
10. Put as much effort into 2005 as you did in 2004, and we will have a great game no matter what.
What about being able to use your dynasty team in exhibition mode. You work harder on building a dynasty team than a created team with all the recruiting and playing multiple seasons, so you should be able to use it in exhibition games.
I was thinking about #6 and it would have to be different from Madden's because the Training Camp is like the Player Progression. If you can only use 9 players it's gonna be so hard to make your team better every year. Your O-linemen would be the same as a senior as they were as a freshman.

Yeah see I was thinking about that too. Like I always schedule Tennessee because I like playing at their huge stadium...
and it's always a close game. I think a rivalry should start between us. That would be swee-eet.

Oh man that would be so sweet to see yourself on a video game!

1 and 2 are good ones and there are a few other things I think would be easy to add.
-Like when a player scores a big TD, he would be mugged, head-butted, helmet slapped, lifted, etc. by his on-field team-mates.
-Same goes for a defensive player that makes a big stop, like a sack, INT, fumble recovery, tackle-for-a-loss, etc... Every NCAA football game is full of team celebrations.
Yeah, those are both good ideas. These do happen a lot in pro and college ball. There are a few with just two players in this game, but it would be cool to see more team celebrations with more people.

I really like all of them ideas. But, here are some more things I would wish to see in NCAA FOOTBALL 2005.
1. More sideline involvment, Players jumping up and down etc.
2. Actual team entrances, like Flordia State, Michigan, etc. I like the Notre Dame one.
3. Keep Sport Illustrated that was the most awesome thing on 2004. But, fix it up a notch, with stories about players, fan polls, etc.
4. More player celebrations, fans rush the field (they dont have to tear down the goal post) over a big or upset victory.
5. Different championship celebrations.
6. Stadium upgrades
7. Better recruiting, I wanna be able to label a player an ATH so I can put him in any position.
8. Being able to see the band, play different songs.
9. Being able to customize uniforms, etc.
10. Being Commisioner of a conference would be really awesome. I would love to boot Baylor out of the Big 12 into the Conference USA.
That's pretty much it right there.
I have a feeling 2005 will be the best NCAA game by far.
Except the AD of conferences don't just look at football. Baylor brings a lot of money into the Big 12 and booting them out would throw off everything.
