speaking, the crowds and weather and stadiums are pretty straight forward now in games. There are just a few guys who build a racing game that have realistic scans of almost all the venues. It's time consuming, but doesn't require a lot of creativity at this point. EA has sucked at game design in football for awhile now, so I will wait and see. I have a feeling they will try to wow you with all these meaningless extras like bizarre dynasty modes but the basic mechanics and flow are gonna suck.
