If it always puts them in the right spot, then that makes it too easy IMO. You guys have actually played with it though so that's why I'm asking. Also, what is up with the Miami player's arms in this shot? Is he double jointed or something?? Yikes

Hopefully when you use Defensive Assist, it takes the players attributes into account.

We still need to figure out Campus Legend, right now we are leaning toward yes.

Since Defensive Assist does not work better than simply "clicking off" a defender, we don't see a reason to turn it off. It would actually hurt you to hold it down the whole play since your player would not go for a big hit or pick.

The elbow pad is making his arm look odd... but it looked so neat I figured what the heck.

It'd be nice simply because it'd be possible to play some effective corner:P

Damn, I got excited when I saw the title say "Player Lock." For some reason I thought it was the defensive matchup thing like what Madden '10 will have where you can assign a defensive player to lock onto an offensive player. I believe it's called defensive matchup. I really want that feature but heard it won't be in NCAA. I was hoping you guys changed your mind and were going to put it in.

Anyway, not a fan of this player lock thing. If I get the game I likely won't use it and if I do It'll probably just be a novelty that wears off quickly. The defensive assist I might use but it'll depend on how well it is implemented. We'll see...Still painfully undecided about this game at this point... time is running out.
