NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Holding recruits is great...not all recruits are 4 and 5 stars at the start the season. A 5'8 kid named Damaris Johnson, ever heard of him, he started the year as a 3 star kid and didn't get the attention until people seen him play during the Louisiana high school state playoffs. We in the New Orleans area knew this kid was the truth. Their was even an article in the paper about why no one was recruiting one of the best athletes in the state. But by the time signing day came....Johnson was rated a four star player. That happens in real life so I'm sure there are other cases like this. Johnson plays at Tulsa by the way. And it seems like more 5 star kids are going to follow Pryor and Brown and hold their recruiting after signing day...EA is just ahead of the curve right now.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Well, it looks like they are going to be 4 or 5* so why should anyone pretend they're not what they are. I think it's cool to have guys who drag out the recruiting process and EA replicated this by having guys whose meter fills very slowly. He said they were holding some guys and that there would be guys there no one has talked to.

Again my friend that does happen. Like I said, guys that are totally off the radar that have incredible senior seasons and are elevated from lower rated recruits to higher rated recruits. I understand your point as they would still have had some contact, but I understand what they are trying to do. Not 100% totally realistic, but not 100% totally unrealistic either.

I think they are just trying to inject some true WORTH into the post season reruiting period.

I agree %100, they would have had some contact but this is where the video game can't replicate real life.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Revising rankings and having a recruit move up is fine. That doesn't seem to be the case the way RK put it. Inserting some artificial BS to add more recruits in the off-season is dumb. Have revised rankings and have more recruits slow play the process by the meter taking way longer to fill before committing. That is close to natural.

EA...ahead of the curve??? Wow!

Re: Online Dynasty: First Look Video

Yeah. I said toned down. There are never 7-10 QBs in a season who throw 20 INTs like EA typically has. What kind of college football are you watching on Saturdays? You need to check out some "real world" statistics. There have only been 3 QBs in the last 4 years who have thrown 20 or more INTs in a season.

I do agree about the TD/INT ratio though. EA always has every QB and their grandma throwing about 25+ TDs which is just silly. It's just off.

As for the actual gameplay, they obviously need to be toned down (again). It's gotten to the point that I feel guilty if I intercept the CPU QB. Then again, that is typically one of their few incompletions.

There are only 3 QB's who have thrown 20+ INT because they get benched, LOL! Since QB's don't get benched mid-season in this video game, you have to compare to the total INT's for the school.

11 teams last year had 20+ INT. 35 had 15+ INT.

Most of these schools had 2-3 QB's sharing stats due to poor performance, but in this game there will be one starting QB barring injury. That mediocre QB will end up with 20-25 TD and 15 INT in a worst case scenario in a NCAA 09 simmed season.

Read above. That was all that was needed. Some prospects already do this by staying at a "10 schools remaining" status for the whole season until the offseason.

Truth be told, we shouldn't be willing to accept anything less than National Signing Day and players soft committing during the season and changing commitments in the offseason based on swaying/pitching.

That fixes all of these minor problems and mimics real life.

You can be off LSU or Florida's radar by being say a 2* prospect but that doesn't mean your off FAU's or Troy's for example. You could possibly jump up to a 4* prospect with an excellent SR season and some physical maturity but you would still not totally be off the radar.

This pretty much sums it up. It has been done in other games and if you're gonna hold some recruits til the end just for the sake of holding them then at least have some kind of "improvement/regression" for recruits. Recruiting isn't an exact science and I don't expect EA to fully implement a real-life representation, but this just doesn't seem logical to me.

Now that would be something to see. A little press conference with some player putting on a schools hat.

At least for the top 5 players right...lol

Yeah, I don't need to see the 200th ranked Guard put on a Tulane hat

it looks like recruiting is going to be great this year

Re: Online Dynasty: First Look Video

Personally, I'm easy to impress I think. I think NCAA 09 is still fun, I mean yea there's things I wish it had and changes I wish they would've made but I still play it, have fun playing it and spend a little more time than I probably should playing it. I think the menus look slick as fuck and I defenitely like that the player pictures aren't wearing a helmet. (Is it just me or does anyone else think the Revolution helmets look GAY AS FUCK!? And don't want to recruit anyone wearing one even if they're a 5* and your schools their #1? No? Ok)

I guess I kinda see it half full instead of half empty, I'd be lying to say I'm not going to do whatever it takes to get this game the first day it comes out.

Custom Conferences is cool, holding back players is cool when you look at it from the aspect that guys like Terrel Pryor who was the nations leading recruit took SO long to make his decision well after NSD (I think? Chill out!). I don't think they're trying to go 'realistic' I think they're just trying to make it easier for you to get better recruits for your team, leaving some guys untouched for the user.

I'm pumped.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

Why would anyone want realistic???

Nice one. You are exactly what EA wants. One who is easy to impress. You said it all.

Re: ATH

Are there going to be more offensive linemen and fullbacks in the recruiting pool?

God, I hope so.
