Any news on additional QB ratings/styles?

I think the new ratings will be in--it was a great addition to Madden.

I would live to at least see the throwing styles from Madden used in NCAA, maybe with some other generic ones.

I'd love to see a quickness of release rating. Furthermore, if you add short, medium and long accuracy to the QBs then you should add sliders for all three rather than just overall accuracy. Just the slider geek in me.

I agree, just like the load of different generic batting stances in MLB: The Show.

A rating for quickness in release would be great and should be put into the game.

It's been posited in the past that the ratings didn't make it into NCAA 10 due to memory limitations.

Now maybe I'm not understanding AAA title development well enough, but it would strike me as finding 1800 bytes of memory / storage space to store these new ratings shouldn't be too difficult.

(How I got that number: 3 QBs per team * 5 new ratings * 120 teams; only one byte is needed to store a number between 0 and 255 inclusive in a computer)

Granted, however, it'd probably take a significant amount of code trolling to make it so the new ratings are actually checked against when evaluating different in-game scenarios, but hopefully they've had time to do so.

That's not true at all. The NCAA team just said they didn't have time to implement them because they were working on other features (like Season Showdown). It will require more work to do three accuracy ratings but they have tons of ratings already. They are just adding two more columns. Memory limitations have nothing to do with it.

I want player tendencies! Along with more ratings. On top of them making all existing ratings matter.

Player tendencies may not be allowed due to likeness issues.

If this is the case then ratings should be removed also.
