For the follow up to the current ESPN College Hoops, I hope the game creators give serious thought to working out some of the major bugs it has with the xBox. For example, for some odd reason, it sometimes is unable to load after completing a game. This is very frustrating during legacy because one has to replay the same darn game all over again. Also, there is the problem of the early season tournaments where if you win in the first round, save the legacy season and then come back later, the game forgets about the next round in the tournament and just jumps you ahead to the first game after the tournament (the xBox itself then seems confused because that regularly scheduled game then takes place in the stadium of the tournament!). I really hope Sega can smooth out all these kinks because it can be really frustrating sometimes and yet this game has the potential to really rock.

In 2005, I also hope that more fight songs are provided. I personally would like the USC fight song included (in the meantime, at least the 2004 game has the fans doing the "SoCal" spellout :D). Similarly, further detail in the stadiums would be appreciated. Of course, on 2004 they already are greatly detailed (and this is greatly welcomed) but sometimes there are some elements lacking like the banners that hang all over the darn place in the "Dean Dome" or the banners that are hung in the L.A. Sports Arena. Also, it would be cool if alternate jerseys were provided for more schools (for both home and road games) and that one would have the option to choose to wear them for a particular game during season or legacy mode. Lastly, though this may not be possible since the folks at Sega probably already have their hands full, it would cool (though admittedly not necessary) if each school's cheerleadering squad wore the authentically distinctive uniforms that their respective real life counterparts do. It would be fun if the attention given to detail for the player's uniforms were also given to each school's cheerleading uniforms.

I've had all the load freezing problems as well as the tourney problems.

Yah, I feel the same way about spelling out stuff, I doubt many people in real life would hold signs that spell "AMER" rather than AU (for American, for example) or "COLG" for Colgate. I play in the Patriot League if you hadn't noticed.
