    Re: I played NCAA for 90 minutes at E3. Ask me questions...

    You're the best for doing this man.


    Did anything feel overpowered in the game?

    I had a feeling that the read option attacks might be very hard to defend this year, or do you think that it was just Oregon's immense skills?

    Did zone coverage work at all, or is it still all about running press man?

I'm going purely off of the system they used to have so I may be off on some of this I'm sure Mrprice33 would be able to clarify how extensive the composure system is later today.
      So this sounds exactly like the flashing red, red, yellow, light blue, dark blue circles that show how hot/cold (but I think it's technically called composure) that's been in the game for a while. As someone that's only played NCAA on the 360 and the original playstation but skipped the generation in the middle, how is the composure you guys are talking about different, then what we've already had on the 360 for a while?

        Thanks for answering the questions and the article. The one thing you mentioned in the article that scared the heck out of me was "Home field advantage". I thought it was a disaster on last gen - hope it's better implemented this time around.

          Is coach mode (with broadcast camera angle) still available? I have not seen it mentioned this year.

            Another question: could you ask a rep if a team that runs a spread option designed for a running QB will change their offensive play calling if that QB gets injured and a pocket passer has to come in?

              I got an hour before we leave so let me get a few more.

              Superhuman LBs are non existent. Didn't seem to swing too far the other way, either. The head tracking tech is really working.

                Did they add the all black uniform for Boise State and BYU?
                I'll try to check those this morning. Not sure on any new unis.

                  Duke is awesome. Dangerous players feel really dangerous this year. Dorsett is squirrelly as heck, too.

                  One problem for me is that Miami has such a bad d line that I have no idea how well I can get pressure with a real line lol

                    My request: could you attempt to swerve run like crazy and tell us how the running locomotion reacts?
                    I did this during training. The foot planting is not as restrictive as in the 2K games but it's there. It's nicely balanced between planting and control, IMO, but it may lean too far towards control for some people who want a more 2K-like system.

                        The only way I'll know of the read option is overpowered is to have a better defense face Oregon or have a worse team face Miami.

                        Zone coverage worked fine. Completion % for Oregon qb was high(10/13) but when you can't shut down their rushing attack that is generally what happens.

                          Was the run blocking improved any over last year?

                            I was able to compete with Miami at Oregon. It was a one-score game late when another user jumped in. Didn't feel overpowered.

                            There was a sense of inevitability about the game that I really liked. A lot of times in CFB a good team will slowly impose their will on a lesser team, especially at home. Got that sense from the game. But it was only one game.

                              No idea. Not a thing I play.

                                I will try.

                                One thing I noticed that makes me hope this isn't a final build was that when running the option in practice mode the QB waited way too long to convert to "runner mode" meaning that my R1 cover up turned into a 30-yard attempted pitch. I asked christian if that was fixed in final and he said yes.

                                If it's in final then the qb keeper on the option is a non-starter for users. Something to keep an eye on.
