NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Re: Online Dynasty: First Look Video

I'm sure theres a few players nationwide that don't get noticed until they're in the playoffs making incredible plays. Imagine a guy from a good school doesn't start until he's a senior. Over the year he progresses fast and is able to become a real force in playoffs. People didn't know who he was going into the season but they took notice when he made big plays on the big stage.

I understand that, but the game rates players in the pre-season and these players would be 4-5 stars from the start and not talked to.

great video and nice menu system looks more stylish and easier to access.

Alright, taking a look at the improved statistics:
There are 7 QBs shown in the stats screen. A quick rundown:
Avg. QB Rating of Top 7 QBs: 184.4
Overall Completion % of Top 7 QBs: 68.7%
Yards per attempt of Top 7 QBs: 10.04
Touchdown rate: 10.0%

And, for comparison, the actual Top 7 QBs in 2008:
Avg. QB Rating: 171.6
Completion %: 67.6%
Yards per attempt: 9.26
Touchdown rate: 9.4%

The QBS are still a little too jacked up but it doesn't seem quite as bad as I recall in the past. The completion % and TD % aren't that far off, but the QB ratings are too high (probably too few INTs, which we can't see) and that yards per completion figure is pretty far out of whack.

Still, they're not totally insane numbers, although it would sort of depend on how many games they have played in that dynasty at that point for the overall yardage and TD figures.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

it seems they optimized the menus a lot. the player's picture when looking at the rosters are like they were in NCAA '07(360). but back then it was kind of laggy in the menus.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Other than a purdy new menu screen, some decent looking player models, and improved CPU stats, this update was pretty much meh for me. And a note on the improved stats, I was relieved to see the USC QB complete less than 50 percent of his passes (an impossibility in NCAA 09) but was disappointed by the Florida QB's 144 of 192 pass completion (75 percent!).

I hate how developers always try to come up with these features that they think we will want. They keep adding all these excesses (competitive recruiting, custom conference, season showdown, etc.) when what we want is a solid football game with great gameplay and great presentation. Give us what we want EA: weekly recap shows, pregame/halftime/postgame shows, expanded playbooks, etc.

BTW, who wants CAS (or Teambuilder)? I play a college football game to get a true-to-life simulation not to make up schools that don't exist. Plus, the interface (if I remember correctly from 04) will include cheesy, generic uniforms and cheesy, generic mascots. No thanks.

I think Madden seems to be more on target with the true-to-life simulation. You don't see them adding CAS.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Not totally bashing, just asking. Cosmetically, everything looks great. The backgrounds were nice in the transfer clips. However, what is the need for having a player's profile with no helmet? I was totally fine with it the way it was. That and the players look like they're in their 30's. Unless EA is planning on showing actual roster players on the sidelines without their helmets is the only reason this is even necessary. It looks great though.

Re: Online Dynasty: First Look Video

TeamBuilder in the main menu. hmm...:wink:

I appreciate your optimism but the pessimist is me says that TEAMBUILDER translates into "team rosters et al." They have renamed campus legend and redone the packaging so to speak. The one thing you don't see on that screen is "ROSTERS." I would love teambuilder to be CAS but I highly doubt it

most likely rosters, depth chart, etc.. is still located under Team Management like it is on '09. what else would be in there?

Re: Online Dynasty: First Look Video

Its a little different than that. You are actually decreasing that prospect's interest in the school you are recruiting against. It is basically the opposite of the normal pitching process.

I thought Sway could already do that. Am I wrong about that? If so, it's a good addition.

That's a good point.

I hope the CPU does this as well. Recruiting against the CPU was waayyyyyyyyy too easy in 09. Really hope we don't see classes with 10+ 5* guys...

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Those QBs dont throw many incompletions. Tebows is 75%. A little high?

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

I really wish the players had their helmets on, I like checking out their gear while I recruit them.

Oh well.
