It Is Time to Relieve Corso of His Playcalling Duties

[zoltranite]

It would be nice to one day have a feature like this, then be able to hire and fire position coaches and OC and DC. Think of the curscenes we could have then. The coordinators sitting in the booth thinking of stuff they could run. The position coaches filling out the sidelines. A player messes up, his position coach is right in his ear getting him right. It would be a great feauture that could include so much. But then you'd probly have people complaining and saying things like "well my OC doesnt sit in a booth, he's on the field". blah blah blah. I want realism too, but dang.

Anyway, great idea. Its definately something that would add alot of depth to the game for hardcore gamers... they would probly have to make a second dynsaty mode for it. Think about it, you could have spring games. Position coaches with position related drills. I can think of many more ways they could make this feature great. A nice touch would be to fill the sidelines up with more than just players and cheerleaders. There are people everywhere on the sidelines... Heck, Im a sports marketing intern at my college and IM ON THE SIDELINE LOL.

O and D coordinators is a good idea, but it's not like a hundred other people haven't already suggested it.

You are exactly right. It uses the same logic as a CPU team.

And to the last point in the original post about spending recording time on other lines instead of Ask Corso, we haven't recorded new AC commentary in years.

I use Ask Corso to call my plays. And so a small feature (that now that I think about it hasn't been announced) that we added this year was HUGE for me.

Sorry if it was announced... but it might be new to some people! You can now turn off Ask Corso audio!

well they tried to replace "Ask Corso" with "Ask Petrino" but Petrino kept disappearing midway thru the game.

don't think it has been announced, or at least i haven't heard it yet. i use ask corso feature sometimes too, and i always hated the audio of it because it blended in with the normal commentary and got annoying. so being able to turn the audio off is good for when/if i use it in '09.

I always use the Ask Corso feature too for every play except sometimes on 4th down.

Do you know why they never put any QB Draws on there from the 5 Wide formation?

Thanks for the reply, man.

Regarding the last line point, I was 100% completely attempting tongue-in-cheekness with that one. It's pretty obvious there's no new audio in Ask Corso, ever. That feature is real, real stale.

thanks for the announcement that you can turn ask corso audio off... That's great news!

I feel I've failed immensely in that I didn't write the article well enough, or clearly enough, to actually get an EA guy who presumedly read the thing to comment on the "new feature idea..." That's really what the article was all about. The Corso stuff was just fluff.

Guess that's what happens when you suck at writing. lol.
