If they....

1. Get rid of the ridiculous speed changes they made last year.
2. Fix the horrid pursuit angles.
3. Make major overhauls to the OL/DL interaction.
4. Make the ratings TRULY matter...and I mean that.

Then this game will be freaking awesome. With a presentation on par with the NCAA 2002-2004 OR College Hoops 2k8, it will be unbelievably freaking awesome.


Come on EA..deliver the goods for me!!

When I think of NCAA 10, I think of NCAA 09 with the following changes:

1. Deep passing by CPU
2. Passing pocket
3. Bowl/championship game endzones
4. Working sliders
5. Improved BCS/Poll ranking logic
6. Improved pursuit angles
7. Fixed bugs in online dynasty mode
8. Less interceptions and more incompletions
9. Improved CPU recruiting logic
10. Improved prospect generation

With those changes, I can become reasonably excited about playing NCAA 10. I'm not thrilled and I'm not expecting a lot more than what's listed above, but it is enough to be a good football game. NCAA 09 was a decent football game with terrible bugs and poor presentation.

I'm sure we'll get some new game mode or new feature that's going to be huge, but I'm mainly concerned with actually being able to get 20 years into a dynasty again.

i think the both Madden and NCAA will be good but Madden will be better maybe because they sell more and have a bigger budget for that title. But your right on the bugs and horrid angles but i just cant put the game down.

The terrible cpu running game also ruined '09. I'm pretty confident that will be fixed and from what I've read about the new pass accuracy logic I expect more incompletions as well.

I still want to know if the cpu QB will throw deep and run their offense more effectively. They still mismange the talent they have and there are too many ineffective plays in the playbook.

I also want to see some improvement to the OL/DL interaction. It needs so much work that I really don't think its possible to fix in one year.

The truth is that dynasty mode with recruiting, building a program, constant roster turnovers is more exciting than anything Madden can offer in its franchise mode. Its still college football and come July, I'm sure I'll be a day one purchase no matter how bitter I am about the exclusion of QB ratings. I do think the player lock camera angle will be a great thing while on defense.

Yes, I am a UM fan and wish nothing but the worst for the sweater vest. As for going to an OSU spring game, why go when you could be doing something far more interesting like cutting your toe nails :-)

These posts represent my thoughts on the matter. I expect most of the issues to be greatly improved. We've already heard about a few of the long standing problems of the game being fixed.

Until we hear a definitive statement declaring that it is no absolutely no longer an issue, I'm with Rudy in being still very concerned about the C.P.U. playcalling and execution by the QB.

Maybe it's based on the value of the team on the field, LOL
