NCAA Football 10 Video: Oklahoma @ Florida (Adjusted Sliders)

[marcoyk]

I think you guys are overreacting to these blocking/pressure problems. Who cares about the basis of football when you have SEASON SHOWDOWN!!!!

*sighs* *takes a deep breath*

Ok...

A few things....

1. All you guys exchanging trash talk in about 10 different threads....shut it and take it somewhere else. Seriously. That's not trying to act holier than thou...that's me saying we really don't care about Michigan State's football history, etc. in a thread concerning NCAA 2010.

2. Kudos to the NCAA team on many obvious improvements....
-The CPU throws deep
-The CPU doesn't run out of bounds as much when wide open.
-The Pass coverage is much much better

BUT....

3. and this isn't being too critical in saying this....EA guys, you flat out lied to us on improving the pass rush and fixing the sliders.

NEITHER of these areas have improved..not one iota.

If a slider is set to 100...IT SHOULD WORK EVERY SINGLE FREAKING SNAP.
If a slider is set to 0...IT SHOULD NEVER WORK ON EVERY SINGLE FREAKING SNAP.

There is NO difference..NONE...ZIP...ZILCH..NADA, with pass blocking at 0 and break block at 100.

There is no pass rush..yet again.

DEs are useless and don't collapse the outside of the line.

DTs don't get push up the middle. Nothing.

Russell and Co...you MUST understand.

A pass rush is absolutely essential to playing solid defense. Without a realistic ability to get pressure from the defensive front four, the "teeth" of a defense are removed and the offense will pick the D apart.

Now, a brain dead CPU AI may mean that Human vs CPU games will be less scoring, simply because of the CPU calling bad plays on offense, and the CPU actually getting pressure due to the programming.

But Human vs Human games will once again be shootouts because a human player is going to be able to pick apart any defense with the amount of time they'll have.


I'm very very disappointed in this and I'm not gonna lie..this is going to have a MAJOR impact on the game...and not in a good way.

It's hard to even watch these whole videos...the game is just so DULL to watch.

[Boucher]

I pretty much called it from the begining these guys are frauds

The problem is the DE's stand straight up on the snap instead of attacking to the heel line like most do reading pass or run. On a pass read they are almost even with the QB on the QBs drop, not so in NCAA 10.

Great point coach. This along with some of the run blocking schemes leads you to believe that no one working on this game has ever played or coached the game. They would be well served to bring in some technical advisors, who could breakdown position-specific fundamentals and assignments.

This vid killed any hope for NCAA I had this year...Glad they got Season Showdown mode in though, because it was obvious that it was more important to College Football then basic concepts of the game like a Pass Rush


But don't be Sad EA...I'll still be feeding the EA machine this summer with $60, for Fight Night R4

Maybe Ian will give em a verbal lashing or something and get em to release a massive patch

[rhombic21]

Yep, it looks like all we can do is wait for a post-release patch. Last year that didn't happen until 2 or 3 weeks into August, and then it didn't even address the pass rush.
