A Look Ahead to NCAA Football 2010

[RaychelSnr]

To start off today, Jess Stewart skips ahead to next-summer to give us a glimpse at what he hopes are the new features EA will be touting for NCAA Football 2010. Check out his article, A Look Ahead to NCAA Football 2010.

"Now that we know what features are coming with NCAA Football 09, what should we start looking for in 2010?

The hype in the forums for NCAA Football 09 is building exponentially with the game still over a month away. With new features such as online dynasties, wide-open gameplay, and deeper playbooks, some folks are already planning vacations to meet the July 15th release date. A main contributor to the hype has been the presence of NCAA developers answering questions in the forums. This involvement by the developers has been a pleasant surprise and the response by community members has been amazing. Since development of NCAA Football 09 is nearly wrapped up, let's take a look at what we want to see in NCAA Football 2010."

Thanks for the recognition of App. St. and FCS teams. If that whole list was in NCAA 2010, then it would be the first must buy NCAA for me in the last 3-4 years. That would be INCREDIBLE. However, very very doubtful.

Nice list

[ka520]

Include all alternate uniforms, or at least have the option to mix & match. Have that, & I'll be good.

Good article.

Here's the thing on the FCS or Create-a-School. While how they were done in the old gen were fine, I'd really, really like it if EA Tiburon took both a step farther. I don't want the same create a school that was on the PS2 that didn't change since it's creation, I want something more in-depth and just flat out better overall. The same thing goes for the FCS teams, I'd love to see EA include these teams in dynasty so you can play for an FCS championship as well.

And maybe...just maybe...we could rearrange the conferences ourselves some day to live out some old school action

App State wouldnt of had this problem, and neither would you for a long time now, if the NCAA would have came to their senses and moved them up to the FBS. I considered them a D-IA school before the beat my team, Michigan. I mean, how couldnt anyone? Theyve been dominating the FCS(D-IAA) for a long time now. And if Army is considered an FBS school, so should App State.

It would be amazing if there was an FCS thing in Dynasty mode. I mean, MLB 2K8 has aton of aspects of the minors, including playoffs and what not. NCAA should have all aspects of the FCS, including teams getting offered by conferences to move into the FBS.

Don't forget QB Auto-throw or an actual coach mode.

[bling1202]

yeah, definitely all alternate jerseys

Re: A Look Ahead to NCAA Football 2010

i would really like to see the rest of the real stadiums, including the real bowl game stadiums in 2010. only 17 or 18 left.

Re: A Look Ahead to NCAA Football 2010

I'd like to see the ability to hire and fire OCs and DCs, maybe even ST coaches...all who have their own stats to how well they coach at each individual position (i.e. LBs, CBs..one DC may be a better secondary coach the other a better LB coach) as well as how well they train players.

I'd also like to see a spring game, and spring drills with the option of improving up to 3 players in a player specific drill like in Madden.

If college basketball games can include 300+ teams I see no reason EA can't add around 50 FCS teams at least.

The only problem I see with this is the fact that college BBall teams have around 12-14 players where in college football has a 100+. If EA were to get to the suggested roster limit of 85 (which is something else I'd like to see) then having 50 FCS teams would add a significant number of players into the game. With as much complaining about the current roster ratings as I hear from community members...I'd first like them to fix how these are compiled before more teams are added.

To me
the line thing
and the wb/db interactions are the most important
if the game is no fun then what is the point
i would love it if they could create a mini game for each of these to replace the stupid mascot game
i feel that if they can create a fun mini game that realistically recreates what happens in the trenches and in the defensive backfield and can make it fun
the game will be really fun

Re: A Look Ahead to NCAA Football 2010

I know we really need atmosphere, teams etc.. but I feel for 2010 we must have:
Better DL/OL interaction
Better WR/DB interactions.
Better ball physics
Weather affected gameplay (Players slipping, balls flying out of the QB's hand etc..)

Lets get the action on the field in check and then get to the other stuff.
That's my .02
