Nothing new for Oklahoma? Really?

We have now seen two iterations of this game and 3 updates to this years iteration. That being said,  I have been thoroughly disappointed by the lack of attention shown to Oklahoma in both this game and last years game. Last year got a little pass being the first game, but this is getting ridiculous.. EA added the Sooner Schooner driving on the field pregame and the alternate fight song for field goals and the OOOOOOO-U chant during (some) kickoffs. That was literally all OU got. OU is a major brand in college football so to see how little attention this school got is laughable. While missouri can get Mr Brightside, Washington State can get extra chants, Kansas can get new graphics to their endzone, Oregon and Michigan can get new music/chants, OU literally gets NOTHING. Just for clarity, here is a list of presentation features for Oklahoma that have no been added to the game. 

OU has a band formation of its logo before every home game.

Cheerleaders, the mascot and fans make an O and a U with their arms at multiple times during thew game. And sometimes they chant OOOOOOOOOOO-U-U-U as they make said letters.

Night games have the lights going on and off after touchdowns (sometimes crimson lights) as well as a lightshow (crimson/cream) after the 3rd quarter. They also have scoreboard pyro from the south scoreboard during runouts and after touchdowns. 

The endzones are a different color scheme for non-conference games. Red "OKLAHOMA" outlined in black over regular green grass.

There are also two uniforms that have not been added but i wont harp too much on that as there is a good reason for them being excluded.  

The fact that none of this is in the game is a testament to the BS that EA likes to throw out that they are attentive to details. Like i said, OU's brand is way too big for this much to be left out.  Im not saying this all needs to be added, but there definitely needs to be more there than what we got. For perspective, OU's stadium holds 86,112 ticketholders. Lets assume there were that many OU fans that bought a copy of the game. 86.112 x $69..99= $6,026,978.88 and that's being conservative. For OU to get the "basic white girl" treatment with that kind of revenue is insulting. This needs to be addressed ASAP yesterday.
