I'm enjoying defensive Player Lock from the DE position. Rushing the outside and getting that sack is a whole lot more satisfying than from the regular perspective.

Again, it's more for the sim guys than the guys that are looking for a sliver of an advantage.

I have always "player locked" on defense in NCAA games. I either play as a MLB if possible or, if not, then as a safety and I never switch defenders. I do this for 2 reasons:
1. I have too much of an advantage if I can constantly switch defenders.
2. I like to see what kind of stats that "my guy" can get. It's more satisfying for me when the MLB leads the team in tackles when I know that I made every single one of those tackles and I played him for every second of every defensive play.

That being said, I can't stand player lock and I never use it (even though I still don't switch defenders). I absolutely despise the camera angles (especially when the ball goes past me and it starts spinning around, seemingly out of control. It's so bad it gives me a headache sometimes. It also makes it very difficult for me to play defense as my joystick means completely different things depending on where the camera swings to (IE. "up" starts as towards the LOS, then it's to a sideline, then it's away from the LOS).

I absolutely love NCAA '10 and it's easily the best football game I've ever played, but I find the player lock feature absolutely horrible. That's my own personal opinion of course.

Haha I do the exact same thing with an ILB or MLB for the exact same reason.

I've tried locking on DE's but am having difficulty shaking O linemen.
Any tips?

Mix and Match uniforms is better then player lock. Not being sarcastic.

I love Player Lock. It makes defense so much fun.

The only problem is that the CPU snaps too fast and I often don't have time to navigate through the players to one I want to lock on.
