NCAA Football 10 Pre-E3 Hands-On (IGN)

Re: IGN Pre-E3 Hands On

why trust anyone else's judgment other than your own?

I'll wait and make my judgment once I play the game.

My order of trust for NCAA Football 10:

1 - Myself
2 - Anyone other than EA
3 - EA

stick with #1...you'll be much better off in the long run.

The reason I say that is because game critics provide us with their opinion based on what they are looking for in the game, which may or may not be similar to mine.

Re: IGN Pre-E3 Hands On

You're saying that 10 does not feel very similar to 09 on the field? I can't wait until some regular gameplay videos are released, when I can judge whether you're BS'ing or not. I hope you're right but I certainly have my doubts.

Don't read that first paragraph in the quote. J-Unit kind of misquoted it. The first paragraph is what the IGN guy wrote and OMT had that in italics. The second paragraph is what OMT responded with (see my current sig).

Don't buy it then!

Who said I was?

I am on a wait and see approach to this game. I will listen to the handful of people that matter (Rhombic, Pastapadre, and several others) then make a decision. I may rent the game, but really don't want to waste $5.00 on another EA product if I don't have to.

Re: IGN Pre-E3 Hands On

I think the lack of video footage is worrying for NCAA 10. I think we could make up our minds if we saw whole games on decent difficulty settings. EA seem to be intent on selling this thing with words this year and loads of people are loving that, which means that they've done their job. It will probably sell half a million in opening week. Then people will start getting very angry (just a prediction)...

but even watching a gameplay video isnt enough to judge something off. You gotta actually play the game and see how it feels. A video shows you 1-3 mins of action as opposed to when you play the game and play for hours at a time as well as multiple games so you get a feel for how it plays.

the mistake your making is listening to what others say. Im not saying the game will be great but to just go by what other people say doesnt always work because they might be more critical than you would normally be, they might enjoy different things, they might be expecting different things. What those guys say isnt gospel, its simply their opinion. You're better off renting it (wow a whole $5 good heavens) and trying it out yourself to see if you really like it.

I am as critical or more critical than anyone. If Rhombic doesn't give the game rave reviews, then I won't like the game. I value you his opinion on NCAA and he is usually spot on. He is as critical as me and I think we want the same thing out of the NCAA series.

EA should strongly consider giving this guy a job. He knows more about what their game needs than what they know what it needs.

Re: IGN Pre-E3 Hands On

There's no doubt that it feels very similar to last year's NCAA on the field. The default gameplay camera angles are the same, animations are carried out at the same speed and the general ebb and flow on the field is the same that I remember from years gone by. That's certainly not a bad thing, but it's definitely going to feel like familiar territory to series veterans.

I can't disagree with this guy more. NCAA 10 plays nothing like 09. There is no "wide open gameplay," there is a pocket and pressure on the QB, the CPU throws deep, there are incomplete passes that aren't dropped, balls get batted down at the line (to name a few things that are very noticable), and there is a big gameplay feature that we haven't announced yet.

Sheesh.

This is the kinda stuff I want to hear more about... I can't wait to see actual gameplay vids (not highlights) that show off the above gameplay improvements.

Woah! What?

I think he meant 'Quoted For Thruth'.

And that's good to hear, OMT.

I just checked out the IGN gameplay video (the SS one) and can't say I'm impressed. Admittedly, there were only a few plays run, but it sure looks like 09 to me. Some people believe what they want, but I know what my eyes are telling me.

I find it funny that everyones running in hear saying "Oh thanks OMT for telling us how great the game is, I'm pumped again!". What's he supposed to say? EA has even less credibility than IGN.

LMAO.... I think it is funny too. I loved in another thread I was just reading "I AM SO EXCITED." It is definitely entertainment while bored at work.

It's even more entertaining to me all the people who pick apart every single aspect of a video game.

Hahahaha
