NCAA Football 10 Blog: Season Showdown: Strategy, New Video Too

[boxtrev]

Did anyone else notice that Defensive Keys was in NCAA 09? They are just now taking the time to highlight it and act like it is a new feature. How lame is that!

It's not "tied" to anything-- even if you choose not to particpate in SS at all, the game planning and strategy elements will still be there.

Can't hardly wait to try it out.

no, it wasn't. you could not guess run right, left, middle, pass or highlight a WR. there was a simple run/pass commit, but not Defensive Keys.

not sure what '09 game you were playing.

True. You could predict pass and run last year, but it was clunky and sometimes it would trigger accidentally making things a mess on defense. There were many times that my defense ended up playing for run on a pass play when I had no intention of even doing it. I do like they added it pre-snap. It really helps a lot.

Looked alright. One thing I HATED was the excessive arm pit footage. I will be sure to edit all of my players to have normal sleeves. It would be nice if we could do a global edit on this!

I think its cool as hell, i like the fact you can determine how u want other players on the team how to play. if cool just think about its the fourth quarter your down by five its raining and its 3 and 5 with 1:15 to go you set ur d to strip the ball they go for the strip don't get it the other breaks tackle for td. or you do get the strip but all of your defensive players are
tacklin for the strip.

damn i think thats hot


now only if they could link plays for d

ok cougar fan i think you just answered my question. i was nervous that this whole setup play calling was just a SS thing. i am a big fan of this as i love to run the same run plays/styles to then set up the pass and i think this will only make me want to do it even more.
