Stadium updates in NCAA 11

PrintFrom what I've seen and heard over on OperationSports, the renovations and updates to PJCS will NOT be in NCAA 11. They don't even have IU's updates in, and those were done before last season. The game will be out before the updates here are done, so we'll have to wait until next year.
Also interesting to note: Rutgers' stadium was updated in appearance, but not attendance. So despite the stadium now being much larger in the game, it will still only report holding around 40,000. Let's hope we don't have the same issue next year.

What a joke
That’s a great way to lose a whole fanbase by not including expansions immediately. They can add pregame intros to “select” teams, but don’t bother getting all the stadiums correct. EA is sorely lacking attention to detail for the NCAA games, and as a faithful EA gamer, it disgusts me.
EA has a ton if problems and faults, the least of which is presentation and stadium updates.
I mean, let’s face it, the passing game is a mess, the line interactions are worse than they were on PS2, and the tackling animation branching is utter crap that doesn’t even take into account momentum, weight, or strength. The whole foundation needs to be redone IMO.
That being said, I’m actually going to have to give them a pass here. The updates still aren’t done and the game ships in two weeks (which means it’s probably already done and will be in store stock in a week). They don’t get building plans for these stadiums, they do everything based on pictures. On top of that, they have to get the pictures officially from the school. For instance, Akron has a generic stadium in the game because they built a new one a couple years ago, but won’t approve the plans for the stadium in-game since it’s still being built upon, and they won’t let EA use the model for their previous stadium either.

They should hire more developers (like me :) )
And treat it like the ESPN bloggers… assign a developer per conference to keep up to date on conference stadiums, news, etc. and code those changes.
I know other developers normally ask the school, team, track, whatever for permission to take their own pcitures.
Now sure, the school would still have to approve, but then that solves some of the issue of waiting on the school to provide pictures.
