NCAA Football 10 Blog: Player Lock and Defensive Assist

[Potatoes002]

Sorry but I am not sure I understand play lock? Can you switch out of it midplay or only before? Do any of the controls buttons change while in play lock? Thanks!

You really should post a vid comparing a great defender with a poorly rated one (of the same position) using the defensive assist feature. It could probably answer a lot of questions. To me it just sounds like the CPU is doing a lot of work the user would usually be trying to do..as if you are taking away the user's ability to make mistakes.

Defensive Assist, IMO will actually make your defense worse.

For the most part, we as players are more aware than the computer AI. We ALL complain about the defensive AI in '09. So, you are really eliminating the 'advantage' you have as a human controlled player by using the Assist mode.

Best case with Defensive Assist, you get what the AI would do, right? About the only position on the field I can't stick jockey better than the AI is CB, because of the camera.=)

And I suck.=)

I like the player lock on defense. Don't like defensive assist if it can't be turned off.

On a side note, you finally shrank the "U" on the helmet. THANK YOU. It's been obscenely large forever.

Lol I wish you guys would stop trippin over this defense asst feature. This has been in Ncaa for the longest its just in a different view. If you play on defense say SS for ex. and the ball is hiked on you do not press anything the cpu controls him. Then if you dnt like what hes doing or you want to jump routes, then you can control them again. If you are out of position click off and the SS goes back to his zone. Its a alright feature something Ill only use you kicks or blowouts. Now for the pic I see you have Surrency #1 for FSU but I dont see his DREADS.!!!!!!

He may not even be on the team in the Fall if he doesn't win is appeal to the NCAA.
