I just saw this video and someone actually took the time to go through every single uniform combination for every single team in the new game. Tech doesn't have allmarooneverything as a preset uniform, but it looks like you can still customize that. They also have the '09 and '10 Pro Combat Uni's.

Kinda off the uniform topic, but is the wind direction during the coin toss fixed on the demo? On NCAA 13 I could never figure it out.
Oh weird - it looks like my comment didn't get posted. Anyway, here are my observations:
1. From what I can tell, The uniforms look exactly like they do in NCAA '13. All they did was get rid of the 2006-2009 uniforms
2. The vintage logo still appears in the V-neck
3. The number still covers the shoulder stripes on the orange jersey
4. Can't tell if they added any of the new helmets (I only want the matte Fighting Gobbler helmet, the rest I can do without).
5. No Wounded Warrior jersey
So glad they left our the Hokiebird helmet
I don't know who has the most uniform combos, but I'm sure we would be up there with 15. And that doesn't include the Hokie feet or camo ones
I'm positive EA dropped the ball again because they're so vested in madden, NCAA gets the hand me downs.
Just the parts I saw didn't include the new WVU uniform. I'm sure there are other glaring mistakes.
Also, if we don't license the TV logo, how can they use it and still be a licensed NCAA product?
I looked at Oregon's, they have 20 haha. I would guess that's the most.
You can also check out the EA Team Builder website to get a better look at the uniforms up close.
It's definitely a bummer that they didn't include any updates from last year, namely the bowl game helmets. EA says that they'll be more responsive with the free Uniform Shop DLC, but they were terrible at it last year and only seemed to address Adidas uniform updates.
From what I've followed, this game should be a lot better than last year. Having the '13 Madden engine and actual run blocking will be pretty cool.
Oh, you mean my RG won't inexplicably run past the LB, leaving him free to tackle me in the backfield?
I was gifted EA Season Ticket so have been playing the game since Thursday. Thoughts:
- Physics Engine is much better.
- Downfield blocking exists.
- Way too many shoestring tackles.
- Logan Thomas is unstoppable on the read-option.
- Running the ball is actually fun. You can break multiple tackles in a row and keep running (it's not that easy to, but it happens once in a while...a la Darren Evans).
- Recruiting is less time consuming. So far I'd say it's a little bit tougher to get commitments until your guys come in on visits. Haven't made it to the offseason yet though...I've heard that if you don't have a lot of commitments and have to spread out your points in the offseason, you're toast.
- Beating Bama, WVU and LOLUVA in one season is pretty fun.
Any other questions, feel free to ask. I've heard that the Free Uniform Shop DLC is supposed to be much better this year, but not getting my hopes up.
I too have Season Ticket and I agree with almost every thought you have. I haven't noticed too many shoestring tackles, but that's it. I agree that Logan Thomas is a beast in this game. His accuracy is much higher than last year and the new read option is fun and easy with him. I've even had some bone crushing hits that we are accustomed to seeing with him.
Yeah, I'm enjoying blowing people up with LT3.
The shoestring tackles don't run completely rampant I guess, but it seems like once a game I'm about to break a 20 yard run and I barely get caught by a DE in the backfield. Seems like it happens more because every time it's happened I've been devastated by missing out on a huge run!
This is kind of off topic. Anyways, I was bummed to see the that Lane Stadium did not have the larger scoreboard. However, I guess this is because we don't know what the final product will look like until its completed in August.
I still wish they played Enter Sandman at the beginning of the games, but I guess I'll just have to play it on my own.
They do have "Let's Go" "Hokies" at the beginning of the games and kickoffs.
I wish they would hire a student or someone passionate about each college's football team, so that there are more authentic stadiums and crowds.
They can't have Enter Sandman because of licensing, but you can add it yourself using Stadium Sounds.
Is the Hokie Stone still super huge at the beginning of the game?
I want to say yes, but I will check next time I play at home.
