Re: NCAA Football 10 Videos (IGN)
This just looks like NCAA is headed the wrong direction with gameplay while Madden might be getting things figured out. I do not want gimmicks like guessing whether the opponent will run right. It looks horrible as you do not ever see all seven players in the box run to the right immediately after the snap before even seeing the quarterback hand the ball off to the rb.
These videos just make me think that the developers of NCAA don't get it. I do not want these stupid features, I want solid gameplay that gives the resemblance of a real game. Follow the footsteps of Ian and Madden in the direction they are taking it.
Adding this pre play guess what the opponent is going to do feature it just is adding something that is not at all realistic and poorly implemented. I wouldn't mind it if it was better implemented but it was not. Rather than have the Defenders running before even seeing the play, how about making a guess the pass or run feature. If you guess run linebackers wait till they make sure the rb is not going to get the ball before dropping into their zone or following their man. The Defensive line will stay on their blocks and try and push the linemen back rather than rushing up field to get the quarterback. This way it looks realistic and can still have strong gameplay implications. Now the offense can set up the run, call a play action pass, and when the QB fakes the handoff it freezes the LBs and allows the TE to sneak behind them to receive a pass.
I really want NCAA to be a good football game as I am a big fan of college football but these features lead me to believe that I am going to be very dissappointed like I was last year with how poorly the speed of the game was implemented. Add things that increase the realism of the game. I do not have to have a perfect sim game but I at least want a videogame realism, kind of like with movies I want movie realism. Clearly if the game was a true sim it would be boring, having to play 3 and a half hour games.
