NCAA 10 is getting the new OL/DL stuff, WR/DB stuff, among other things. the pursuit angles were fixed, the layered animations stuff, and Adaptive AI will all help out as well.

Sometimes it's better to look at the glass as "half-full"

Just like in presidential polling - its far too hard to ask 1000 people across a country and expect them to accurately depict the true population of 300 million and every state, age group, gender, etc. Plus, some questions are leading and I've certainly seen some biased question and answer categories on this topic in this forum.

I taught math and coached for 10 years. The politics of education drove me nuts. As you can tell I am the least bit PC.

Fortunately, I had better things to fall on and now own and run my own business (hand me down from father-in-law) dealing in Sporting Goods and Teams.

I would love to hear more about it, especially what it does to the CPU offense, if anything. AI is huge for me as I mostly play Dynasty mode.

I only play offline dynasty myself. My expectations for NCAA 10 are getting higher each day.

I want to know what it does to help the user offense and user defense. If User A runs Nickle Thunder Green every play of the game will the OL adapt to that play. If User A runs Dime Cover 2 bump man all game will the OL adapt and start to crush the defense.

I really hope it Adaptive AI affects user vs. user games from the aspect of making people play realistically.

This series on next gen has used up it's "half full" for many people, myself included.

Kinda of have to agree, but they did save themselves with TeamBuilder this year imo & the AI improvements. They need to step it up from here on out.
