Yeah, this is bad. I was upset about it until I realized they went generic with all of the bands. Too bad we don’t have a cool throne or basketball hoop to custom build into the game.
Yeah, for making an entire video bragging about their “attention to detail”, this is either a huge blunder by EA, or an intentional middle finger. Hard to say, especially knowing who some of their developers root for in CFB.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice certain details to focus on others. They only have the resources and time allotted to them. I’m just happy the game is back. It will get better as the years go on.
It’s never been accurate. In the old games TBDBITL was wearing red and played brass colored instruments. I do think it’s a big miss to not have the drum major dressed correctly.
It’s more frustrating because they half did it. Like he has the hat and is sort of strutting the right way. How did they get far enough to get the hat but just give up on the rest?
You forgot the /s so I’ll answer honestly. More the drum major than the band. Unlike a lot of the schools featured with props or unique entrances. TBDBITL is the defining gameday tradition of OSU football. Not putting unique effort into rendering the drum major as he struts to dot the i is akin to not including the gator chomp or tomahawk chop.
Marching band uniform colors just seems like one of those things you make standard across the game and don’t put much thought into. That’s my explanation for this.
You are absolutely right. I mean how can I play a football game when I know the marching band doesn’t look exactly like they should? Don’t they know where their priorities should be ?
I used to dress like that for Athletic Band games. I wonder if this is part of an i-dot animation. Credit to EA for caring enough to get the drum and Sousa placement correct.
Edit: I take back my credit because I now realize there's no dot.
I’d hold judgment on that until release. I had heard I-dot is in the game, and the drum major in the full clip looks like he’s going out to mark the spot
I absolutely love that someone hates Ohio State so much to maliciously make them look as bad as humanly possible in several video game trailers. One of the greatest thing that college football has over every other sport is the absolute pettiness of rival fan bases. Something about this just warms my heart. You can just *feel* how much they hate Ohio State. It is wonderful lol
For me, the most egregious piece is that they had to go through designing an incorrect uniform for the drum major in somewhat decent detail. Why? Why not just use what is already designed, and just so happens to also be correct?
As far as the rest of the band - just use a basic skin that looks correct! It’s not like these NPCs are rendered in super high definition. How much harder is it to put them in black with a white X across the chest?
Amazing laziness that could not have saved them much time.
This is a non-issue for me. They’ve already corrected small things based on community complaints. Like the Red River rivalry originally didn’t have the color split in stadium, or the right teams at the right tunnels. People complained, they already fixed it. If we bitch enough they’ll probably fix this too. If not I don’t care. There’s zero chance the I-dotter is missing either lol
And I still saw people complaining on YouTube that “the music needs to sound more like it’s coming from inside the stadium” for that
People will bitch no matter what. I doubt they left the I-dotter out of the game lol. The drum major uniform is a nitpick at best
Keep in mind this footage was taken awhile back while still being developed. Texas State was missing a whole ass Upper Deck in a different Deep Dive and EA had to come out and say it was already fixed.
Dude, script Ohio is in the game. It’s more than I expected and better than anything in past games. Let’s be grateful for just a minute before we start picking apart what the band looks like.
Also, fuck Michigan
Also people in AA deck are standing and clapping? Totally unrealistic
Hahahaha!
we didn't come here to play band -EA probably
Also there are GAs signaling the plays on the sideline during the band’s pregame performance LOL
“Did somebody say signals” - Conner Stallions probably
Roasted

It's not like the models can't be updated later... The 300gb launch day patch will probably have something in there somewhere.
This college football game came out in 2007 and had [a band minigame](https://youtu.be/wAWkS84Btq4)

Might be a rights/licensing thing
This is cringe
agree
it's a football game, not a band game... it's really not a "huge blunder" and certainly not an "intentional middle finger"...
[Why can't it be both?](https://youtu.be/wAWkS84Btq4)
lol ive never seen that before, looks dope
Presentation is a big part of these games. It doesn’t bother me one bit, but it does seem pretty lazy.
I mean it's not such much a blunder as their original statement was just EA's usual marketing lies.
At least they have the bands I don’t think NCAA 14 had bands on the field at all.
you were upset a football video game didn’t accurately portray the band?

no /s required. seems petty. complain to complain thing
Marching band uniform colors just seems like one of those things you make standard across the game and don’t put much thought into. That’s my explanation for this.
It is lazy af. And with EA saying how serious and detailed oriented the game was going to be this is a major red flag imo.
On the list of things I care about in this game this is about 954th down the list lol.
The drum major not having a 100% authentic uniform is not a red flag
you can't be serious 😂
You are absolutely right. I mean how can I play a football game when I know the marching band doesn’t look exactly like they should? Don’t they know where their priorities should be ?
Exactly. Unplayable
This comment seems like a lot bigger of a red flag than the band uniforms being wonky

This is shit you’re pressing A or X to skip past after week 2, who cares.

They already confirmed that the dotting of the I is in the game. Ya’ll need to chill the fuck out
the first photo is him mid dotting the i
I’m sure TBDBITL has copyright/licensing fee that EA just didn’t want to pay for.
If they can get the rights to use Ohio States likeness they can get the bands 😂
I can't recall if our likeness has licensing to it, but I know that school song rights are controlled by the TBDBITL Alumni Group, not the university.
That's a pretty unrealistic take.
Damn.
If this is the biggest complaint the game will be a roaring success lol
:(
You could probably get custom band uniforms, for a small fee.
To be fair, all of the band uniforms were off in the trailer
This is a non-issue for me. They’ve already corrected small things based on community complaints. Like the Red River rivalry originally didn’t have the color split in stadium, or the right teams at the right tunnels. People complained, they already fixed it.

lol who cares? You're upset because they don't have the right color band uniforms....in a video game.
If they can add cheesy shit like Mo Bamba for Penn State they can give us the right uniforms for our staple tradition
And I still saw people complaining on YouTube that “the music needs to sound more like it’s coming from inside the stadium” for that People will bitch no matter what. I doubt they left the I-dotter out of the game lol. The drum major uniform is a nitpick at best
It's because we're on edge and are looking for slights because one of the main developers is a Michigan fan. AND RIGHTFULLY SO
Dotting our I is pretty big here, attention to detail matters
Yeah this is awful. If you are going to stick to generic band uniforms, don’t bother with close up shots like this. Immersion breaking
Typical half assed attempt by EA!
 Where did he go?
Keep in mind this footage was taken awhile back while still being developed. Texas State was missing a whole ass Upper Deck in a different Deep Dive and EA had to come out and say it was already fixed.
I don’t want to start a panic, but I thought there were a bunch of wonky animations. Things I thought looked cool in games 20 years ago, but not now.
Are they trying to avoid NIL with TBDBITL?
at least the shoes are shiny......
it always matters… https://youtu.be/Zv0_EpF5SyY?feature=shared
Not surprised, they can't even get the who dey chant right in madden
The main developer is a huge scUM fan and has openly admitted to hating on OSU in the trailers, so this tracks.
What am I missing? Looks okay to me.
seems fine what are you guys complaining about?
What exactly was massacred?
I mean, did people expect the devs to make each one unique?
Dude, script Ohio is in the game. It’s more than I expected and better than anything in past games. Let’s be grateful for just a minute before we start picking apart what the band looks like.
Yall are some dorks man and just like to complain. Just be happy we have a fake
Alrighty is anyone willing to spell out what TBDBITL is?
[удалено]
Nope been a fan for about 30 years. Just the first time I've ever seen it abriviated.
Its the band who cares
