True, but that's an exception. I'd rather have something that makes inexperienced QB's struggle (which happens most of the time) than something that allows them to be just as good as the starter/veteran (which happens much less frequently).

umm, those were "brought back" in '09. it just doesn't have the meter thing or screen shake from last-gen.

The composure rating was huge back in the PS2 days, I loved it. Taking a highly touted Freshman into a Rivals stadium beginning of the season. Growing pains at it's nest.

Homefield Advantage was good in pieces. I think NCAA 07 was the best it was used. They tinkered with it here and their, which made it unbearable to use it games because it was overused.

Seems pretty basic to me but it's an element next generation football games are missing.

It seems pretty simple but to program it you must quantify it.

Whenever I see "seems pretty basic", I would like the poster to figure out how to represent there idea with math, then tell me it is simple.

A "swagger"/confidence rating would be a great addition. It may be difficult to implement, but it would be exciting to see your 5* QB recruit come in like he owns the place.

i dont want anything with the word "swagger" "swagga" involved in a football video game.

Thats true, but it is the exception rather than the rule. IIRC even with low composure you could still succeed it was just more difficult.

NCAA 07 is (in my opinion) the absolute best college football game ever made. If they could just go back, take that game, and stick in NCAA 2010, I would scrounge up the $65 and pre-order. But with 2011 coming out, I think I'm just gonna wait until December.
