let’s talk uh college football a lot of news came out about the debut of the new game which is highly anticipated for decades now at this point yeah like 10 years uh at this point people have been waiting for this you guys have all been releasing footage is that Mt Garrett no no go ahead all right I will I will uh you reys Chris poock I believe um who else uh voiceovers in a video game uh that we’ve seen I think Jesse Palmer’s in there they we’ve all seen video of the voiceovers that’s been taking place reys put on here like it’s been I forget how many 250 hours or something like that of voicing over and having to call it and I know from like Michael Cole’s experience with WWE 2K like he has to continue to call and have to call every situation that could potentially come up I assume you guys have been doing this for a while now how long have you been eagerly awaiting the release this new game and how long have you been working on this whole thing and how do you think it’s going to go have you seen it at all I’ve not seen it yet uh other than what they released the other day but I’ve talked with them I’m trying to understand the difference between let’s say Madden everybody’s played Madden over the years and the college game you know for me the college game was always very different because of I thought it’s always done a really good job of capturing like you see here with what they released the traditions of the sport uh the uniforms the marching bands the stadiums just all of it uh so I think they’re taking that to another level after 10 years of being out and coming back uh I think the graphics will blow people away from everything I’ve I’ve been told you know I think if you go back to when Madden really started to take off you know John Madden got very involved in that video game of his and I think his game really impacted how games are broadcasted the views you get you know that that uh skycam behind the quarterback you know that that really was a cool look that I think initially we saw in Madden and then I think it developed into the college game now we see it every every Saturday and Sunday when we watch games um you know I reached out to EA because I wanted to be able to say something because you know they’ve been tight lipped on a lot of the stuff and they continue to be they said one of the cool things about uh you know this year with the 12 team college football playoff that format you know this game will be out months before the season actually starts while we’re all trying to adjust to realignment you know think about the pack 12’s gone you know Stanford and Cal in the ACC what’s going on in the Big 10 what’s going on in the Big 12 the SEC getting Texas and Oklahoma and there’s just so much change going on that they’re they’re feeling that this um you know in a monumentally different year of the sport that this that this game game and the new rules with the bracket and who gets a you know who gets a buy all those kind of things by the time people play this game they think it’ll really help them adjust to the season and you know what to expect in the season just be by playing the game and and that type of stuff so um the game is still like they won’t get into Dynasty mode with me they’re still kind of trying to hide some of that stuff but they said if you looked at what they released at trailer they said you know you could see the Army Flex bone that they’re running the playbooks the game play just making it feel like college is a major priority for these guys in everything that they’ve done in uh in producing this game so uh there there’s a ton to be fired up about and as a a gamer you know myself used to back in the day anyway used to be a dieh hard gamer what you guys solid no dude te no I unfortunately Joey Galloway is like 482 and3 against me like I I just he he’s a complete ass Joey Galloway is a dog I’m a terrible video game player but I will play this game so you learn all the you learn everybody on every team now there’s names on the back of jerseys as well as opposed to back in the day people had to go in there and edit it and make it all happen I think it’s going to be great for the sport great for the game and obviously there’s some players that aren’t in but 2K what is it NCAA football 2K though EA EA Sports they’re just going to have to negotiate with the exact person I assume like Archie Manning allegedly did not sign the $250 deal or whatever it was to get into the video game so they’ll just have to negotiate with him directly I think this is going to be a massive success a smashing success and with the way the graphics look and obviously how much diligence has been to the voice over work I’m excited to play brother I cannot wait to get in there so so so how the players get paid anybody who signs on to play gets $600 there it is and then the the star players I think are doing their own individual Ambassador deals makes sense where they’ll do social media deals so you’re dealing with like a Quinn ERS or um you know any of these high-profile guys that are on the cover Donovan Edwards and whoever that is they’ll they they and their uh marketing agent will work deals out where they’ll make you know I’m sure they won’t disclose what they’re making but they’ll they’ll make much more money than the $600 that you know the Right Guard for Southern Miss is going to make so I think anybody who signs up for it John gets down he puts that hand in the dirt down there it’s hot down there Souther Mississippi too he is all right let’s
