Alright EA guys. It is now January. Time to spill the beans on NCAA 2010 Info.

More stadiums... though still not ALL 6. Formation subs (Madden play screen?) 7. Less QB accuracy / more cpu running game 8. More mascots 9. A new playcall screen 10. More fight songs 11. Accelerated clock 12. Post game celebration What I don't think will make it: (based on Greg's answers) 1. FCS 2. Editable playbooks 3. Uniform editor 4. Better pursuit angles 5. Create a play 6. Coaches on the field 7. Refs on the field 8. Detailed equipment options 9. IN-game saves 10. QB auto throw 11. CPU mass subs / pulling a struggling starter 12. Chant creator 13. Player lock 14. Discipline mode 15. Bands in the stands 16. Historic teams 17. Scrimmage mode for online dynasty 18. New camera angles 19. More coaching options 20. CPU recruiting depth chart glitch Greg has said that the team HAS FIVE MAJOR GOALS THIS YEAR though it's not a guarantee that they will make it. My question is what is major and what is minor? (remember Madden this year!)

If you are even remotely correct, this makes me so pissed. Everything that I think needs to be in the next gen is on your "not" list. If the case, I will not buy the game next year, and this time I'm not threatening(I know I sound mean, I hope it came of intimidating) but I am serious. So basically, the game will suck tremendously...again. What a rip-off.

18. I'm pretty sure OMT (Adam) said there will be new camera angles.

20. That's just ridiculous. Inexcusable.

Yeah the site in www.ncaastrategies.com. Look for Greg's link in the forums (Q & A with Greg). EA still is not releasing game info yet but it's a start.

Just for the record, this is my interpretation only based on his responses and a few responses he has sent to me. READ THE POSTS AND MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENTS... I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT OTHER THINK. I suggest contacting him as he is very outgoing in trying to answer community questions. It's nice to see EA taking an interest in the consumer

New angles for replays OR gameplay? I would love new gameplay cameras.

JayMo...


I asked him along time ago about Endzone art and he said how difficult it was or something like that. Do you think it made it in?

I wish I knew the answer to that question. I recall Greg commenting about how the fields were set patterns and it would mean all new fields would have to be created with all of the possible combos or something to that extent.

The optimist in me says endzone art makes it into 2010 because so many people are adamant that it needs to be in the game. However, the fields may not have team specific endzones but rather bowl specific endzones (eg holiday bowl in the endzone rather than say San Diego St.).

What is your gut feeling?

I recall Adam mentioning they are getting new technology. So I would bet endzone art to be a sure thing. As far as bowl patches on jerseys, that is another thing.

Also, as I recall, the same tech could potentially be used to dynamically change the conference logos on the field if you switch conferences.
