The momentum system for current gen actually sounds pretty good (+1 rating for your team for every 20% of the momentum bar that is full), but the next gen implementation of the momentum system sounds a little questionable:

From EA:
If you have momentum on your side could it mean sack after sack after sack - only causing the momentum to go up further? Will we be at the mercy of cheesers who will be able to abuse this? I hope not. :y220:

With all the news that is coming out, it sounds like this isn't a very good year (NCAA-wise) to be a 360 owner. Does the 360 have backwards capability for Xbox games? I was thinking of picking up a 360, but I doubt I would prefer the next-gen NCAA over current gen after everything I've been hearing lately.

I hope they just let you turn momentum off all together.

Oh come on, dont be so dramatic... youre talking about ONE TINY BUMP in the ratings... you ACTUALLY think that is enough to turn a team into a POWERHOUSE you cant stop?

Well, if it didnt really cap out after a while and kept building, and if it lasted for to long despite a few plays against you, it could be a big difference.

I think you misread.....he said the +1 system sounds pretty good, but he said the "jump the snap" feature based on momentum for the 360 could become too easy to abuse.

My mistake, thanks.

Re: I'm not sure I like this...
 

The +1 feature sounds good (Ive been thinking they should add +5 automatically to every home team for a long, long time).

However, why the hell did they decide that when you have momentum it makes jumping the snap easier??? Where is the logic? I can see better performance, more aggressive animations, etc., but why is jumping the snap abiltiy specificially targeted when you have momentum.

What was wrong with just giving the +1 boosts and having gamers try to jump as usual?

I say why add BS stuff like this anyway. At some point they have to stop adding things that can be abused by the online sports gaming killer: The Cheeser. Did they really need a "Jump the Snap" feature? There are quite a few great players online who have mastered line play without the need for gimmicks. All this feature is going to do is add to the cheese line.
