Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Pocket Protection

Great to read about pocket protection! Yeah, we need to see it in action, but it's significant, gameplay-related info.

No referees, though. That's a major surprise to me. I guess I figured NCAA and Madden would take that long overdue step together. It's still kinda crazy that both games have gone this long with no refs.

But now that Madden has refs again, won't the lack of them in NCAA stand out that much more?

The teams are on the field alone. No one is officiating the games. It looks strange now, and it's going to look a whole lot stranger once Madden 10 gets people used to seeing refs again (not counting APF 2K8).

Word. I've never made a major gripe about the lack of refs because it was something I could look past, but now that they're going to be in Madden, well, it will make NCAA feel like some bare, Hollow Deck spin of college football. And the more I think about it, it seems like putting refs in the game would be a priority to some degree. They may not affect gameplay, but they directly impact immersion and the sim feel of things, especially considering they are on the field during the game. They're a part of what we actually see. We might not see the drunken idiots spilling beer on each other in the nosebleeds, but we see refs running around and throwing flags. When my LT holds on a pass play, I should see a ref throw the yellow cloth. Everybody here knows how far that would go to immersing everyone into a full-blown simulation of college football.

Good job EA... you are listening to the community and this has a lot of promise. I look forward to seeing actual gameplay VIDEO footage ASAP to see how this looks in real time.

However, two steps forward one step back... REFS on the field (or better said "not" on the field). As Madden will have them and the game basics are shared between platforms I believe that the longterm NCAA football gamers desrve an explanation as to why refs will not be in the game. Please don't interpret this commentary as rude but... "not enough time" doesn't cut it. If it's in Madden you have the ability to have it in NCAA. So is this a choice by EA? A choice by Tiburon? Could you please provide an concise answer to the question so we hardore NCAA supporters can better appreciate your decision making process. Thank you.

Just got home. I posted in the EA "Gameplay Dude"'s thread.

Adam is no longer my favorite guy here....He has been replaced by Gameplay Dude.

Gameplay Dude is going to hate seeing my bouncing avatar by Mid May because Gameplay Dude is about to get harassed for a solid.....how many months do we have til release?

I want a true pocket, I want RATINGS TO MATTER, i.e. if I have a 95-freaking-rated Defensive lineman going against a Craptastic 72 rated Offensive lineman, my stud DL better damn well be LIVING in that backfield the entire game. That goes for my Stud OL destroying inferior D lines as well.

I also want to make sure that the absolutely ridiculous pancake fest '09 is erased for '10, where when Auburn plays Akron and Akron's entire O line simultaneously flips all 4 of my Defensive line (each of which is around 15-20 points higher overall) on their heads within .008 milliseconds of the ball being snapped.

If these things are addressed....I might have a party in my pants. But I have to see it to believe it. One picture isn't going to convince me.

wwoah, woah, slow down there buddy, where is this gameplay dude thread at?

Re: NCAA Football 10: Pocket Protection - New Blog

Looks good, but meaningless if the QB can just roll out whenever he wants.

This is the key.

The Tackles should 'automaticly' release the DE's, if the QB tries to rollout of the pocket. The DE's should gain a big advantage when the QB tries this. They should be able to dis-engage and pursue the QB right away in this scenario.

If not, having a pocket would not serve the right purpose IMO.

Sprinkle in code for holding calls also, if players still try to roll out of the pocket too much.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Pocket Protection

Is there anyway to get rid of the facemask that No. 2 for UT is wearing? I haven't seen a player wear that since the first year of revolution helmets.

Did anyone else notice the "presentation" of the sidelines and the end zones in this picture? Look at the OU logos along with the Red River Rivalry logo towards the endzone. Those look fantastic.

Also, did you notice the sidelines? There's guys standing, sitting, kneeing down...I see just about everything except for a coach.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Pocket Protection

A little off-topic but it seems like the daylight is affecting or causing a glare on the uniforms and players like what happened in 08. All the players were too light and the uni's had a funky tint.

The same reason Florida had black shoes in the earlier screenshots. It is a bug right now that we are fixing.
