NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

Why does NCAA always program 97% of the team's defense to a 4-3 when it's obviously not the case. And when we try to change it in Dynasty Mode under 'team strategy' it never works.

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

All of this debate seems tied around the OVR rating and will likely be a moot point in NCAA 10 anyways. They are re-working how the OVR rating is calculated in NCAA 10. The only reason most players suffer such a huge drop between positions is that the AWR rating takes a hit. AWR is the progression rating.

If this were 100% true i don't think most of us would have an issue. I mainly have a problem with ACC, Spd, etc being changed between position changes. Moving a OLB to DE and having 10 go off of his spd, acc makes the move pointless. Or a TE or RB drop hard in those going to FB is another.

You're able to play against Alabama in a real game and having them come out in a base 3-4 after you change it?

?? when i pick team for OD and i change the sub rates/ pb and base defense yes my team kept the 3-4 base, i dunno about CPU teams if thats what ur asking.

so, when you go to play a game, you don't have to manually select a 3-4, 4-2-5, etc.. for me and everyone else but you it seems, its always defaults back to a 4-3.

Yup. But OMT actually said they do that by design for some strange reason. At least he explained it that way when we were complaining about it for '09 a long time ago.

If I set my defensive strategy to 3-4, I shouldn't have to always choose the 3-4 defensive playbook before playing a game.

I do think there should be somewhat of a change in those athletic ratings, but not as drastic as in NCAA 09. The key is that weight should change accordingly.

I.E. if I convert a 200lb WR to TE, then it would be nice to see him progress to 210lb in the offseason, gain 3-4 STR, but lose 1-2 SPD, AGI, ACC to compensate for the weight and strength gains.

Still, the majority of the OVR change comes from AWR in NCAA 09.

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

not to complain, but does anyone else notice the still "Mars-like lighting" in those pics....ughhhhh

OMT: Why do the OU helmets not match the stripes on the pants???? In other words, they're still too bright.

I would believe that, but the offensive playbook works. if I set it to use another playbook other than the default for the team, it will be what I set when I go to play the game.

it's not that big of a deal, especially since there aren't many defensive playbooks anyway, but it would save time having to change it or reload a game because you forgot to.

It is a big deal. I do CPU/CPU and every team defaults to 4-3.

yea, its a big deal for CPU teams, I was more or less talking about me having to manually switch before each game. :wink:

Good catch Finn.

Ugh Oh, this doesn't bode well for Russell's credibility. And I was going to ask him to convince OMT to change his avatar.

I like his avatar, whats wrong with it?
