*prays to all the forces that be that we get a great game and not a repeat of NCAA 09*

Thanks for posting. Looking forward to more updates.

I have a quick question. Please tell me you are scrapping or completely changing the "wide op-en gameplay" idea. That as well as several others issues, IMHO, ruined NCAA 09. To me it felt like it was several steps in the wrong direction and made the game feel "FAKE" in.

I feel if you are to replicate the BIG PLAYS of college ball, it should be done in a more organic way and not feel scripted or forced.

i love this post...i'd like to see ONE of these issues resolved. the one in particular: suction blocking/tackling - especially on a 3rd or 4th down where it seems as if though the computer purposely does it to get an edge....

[md0t]

and seriously create a school is such a non factor, play madden for stuff like that. college football is about tradition and a good game in the best atmosphere....why do u care so much about having the correct pink in your uni?

what really should be worked on is the animations, users should be able to break out of some of the animations early....or maybe have the tackling correspond with ACTUAL PHYSICS. i don't like tackling a running back at the LOS and then a second tackler forcing the runner about 6 yards beyond where i initially hit him. when crap like that happens and im defending my red zone it gets extremely frustrating.

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.

All helmets are like that right now. It is a lighting thing.

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

Anyone else notice those new cleats in the pocket pictures? Those look pretty sweet. Hey OMT or RUss, what are the chances that we can edit sock color for our teams in NCAA 10? If you look at a team like Arizona State in NCAA '09, they wear different color socks (white/black) when they are away or at home. I'm pretty sure that's not the case in real life. Just wondering...

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

I was just curious if the ranking system in franchise has been looked at for 2010? BCS, AP, Choaches poll...? Also how about Dynamic Attendance for 2010???

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

About position changes, the one that really irks me is the huge penalty you get when changing a FS to SS or a SS to FS. Why does the player magically lose speed or such drastic awareness. I don't mind a minimal hit in the overall since a coverage FS would not be as highly regarded in a SS role where he is counted on to make more tackles, but a 5 point hit in speed and 10-point hit in OVR? The same thing for a switching an OLB to a MLB even though positions in the latter example might be more different than moving from SS to FS.

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

Yo what's up with position changes during the offseason. Why in the world does my FS lose 4 points of speed when I move him to SS. To me that is one of the biggest issues in the game. Could you please elaborate on what the reasoning is behind this? Thanks

Yo deadlyCane Maybe if we say it three times they will acknowledge it....

No I don't that's why I wasn't being facetious.

So your quote below was a serious statement?

They wore white socks with their away uniforms during the 07 season, which is what the NCAA 09 art was based on (unless it was indicated otherwise before the season started).

Based on my reference of last season (2008), they wore either white or black with their away uniforms.

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

Yes it was because I'm sure the developers are smart enough to realize that the more people say it, the bigger the issue. also if more people see it, other posters might agree further increasing the chance it will be reviewed. Nobody bashed the developers nor is this some "petty" request about shoe colors or whatever. It's very possible they developers skimmed through the stuff the first time and didn't see it. Posting it again limits the chance that might happen again.

Re: NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

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.

Can we get the reason for this foolishness? Programming 60+ teams to defenses that they don't even use is dumb.

And those aren't new cleats.....
