He was explaining why he didn't feel it was a waste of time. He was def not excited about ss.

He doesnt have to be excited for him to use this SS. BTw your opinion doesnt become Fact just because there are more people like you that share the same opinion.

Even if no one is excited about the feature it will get used when the game is shipped and your statement will still remain opinion.

You know it wont work to track cheesers because you already played the game? or is that one of your Opinions turned fact? you got 10 post under your belt and 3 of them so far is pure fail.

People will always cheese, I don't think that's a stretch. All Im saying is I think ss is a pretty weak feature. And I've yet to meet someone who's excited about it. You're turning my opinions into facts by getting upset. If you really disagree, explain why ss is worth getting excited over.

true i'm not that excited by it, but that's mainly because i don't play online at all. Even though it's not for me I can clearly understand how it helps some people and the bottom line is that it takes nothing away from you as a gamer so why would you be upset by it?

Thats the thing , if you play online alot ,this feature will help you decide on your opponents through the sportsmanship rating, that alone is the reason why im interesting in this feature

Recap, you said SS is a bad feature, i then said opinion. You then challenge my statement by asking me to find someone excited about it, which means you believe your statement to be fact not opinion.

Also you dont have to be excited about a feature for it to be considered good, i wont use CAS,Im not excited about it, does that make it a bad feature? I wont Use the new flex bone offense, does that mean its a bad addition or update? no,because someone will find good use of this feature.

And to your second part about why i like the feature i already stated why i liked the feature....... if you read my post.

I think the biggest problem with this feature is that it really adds nothing to the game. As long as they didn't put too much time into it I dont have a problem with it but for them to tout it as one of their bigger new features is what I have a problem with and what I think others have a problem with.

If we had heard about other bigger features and additions so far I don't think there would be as much negativity with SS and the game overall, but I think it is more a factor of people growing impatient with the lack of solid info that will make NCAA '10 better than '09.

As for the article, I think it is funny to read all these articles that talk about how the gameplay was so good in '09. I want to get some hands on reports from people that really know sports game

It's not that SS is a complete waste of time, it's that they're touting it as a big deal.

I think people are just looking for something to rant about, so they pick the smallest of things and nit pick at it, like the windsocks.If we arnt getting a certain feature madden is getting they says "BUT we got windsocks" apparently the phase never gets old because the same People reply "lol hahaha ".

And the statement people dont see how 10 will be better than 09. what was wrong with 09?Dline got no pressure right? the new OLvsDL interaction doest that not solve it? its the same OLvsDL that will be used in madden but somehow its different than madden i guess?

What else was wrong with 09?pursuit angles? they fixed that.
what else was wrong with 09?hook routes and money plays being ran over and over again right?Adaptive AI

What else was wrong with 09? QBs would be too acurate?We saw a Video of a overthrow and a clip of Teebow throwing the ball into the dirt.

To me they have taken good strides to others all they see is windsocks.

All these different sources claiming that it plays very similarly to last year are starting to scare me.

The same souces say that Ncaa 09 had great gameplay.

All these different sources claiming that it plays very similarly to last year are starting to scare me.

It doesn't bother me too much for a few reasons:

1) I felt that 09 would have been pretty good with some of the fixes that have been announced.

2)These website reviewers most likely don't notice the subtle changes and tweaks because they most likely played 09 for a week or 2 for some review assignment and never touched it again. I'm sure if you asked these guys what the biggest issues were in 09 (pass rush, robo-qb, etc.) they wouldn't even know.

3)IMO, when they say it feels the same, I expect that they are talking about the general feel of the controls and players. It has nothing to with OL/DL interaction, robo-qb, lack of pass rush, etc.

Of course the game could still turn out bad but I don't think paying too much attention to these big websites is likely to give us any kind of a real good idea of how the game plays.

The lack of anything relating to presentation is pretty much assuring me that this area will be unimproved from last year. The presentation/atmosphere wasn't there, at all last yr. The game became boring after only a few times. There was little to no reason why one would want to waste the time reaching a bowl game. It felt NO different than a regular game. It seems as tho the dev team thinks presentation upgrades come down to a few cutscenes of cheerleaders. I got news for em, thats not good enough.

did you read the article? they didn't mention bowl games, but there is all that stuff about the improved crowd

Re: NCAA Footballl 10 Team Xbox hands on Preview

The only thing i saw was the crowd chants in unison and there is more uniformity to them. Thats not enough, nor is it even that much of a step forward from last year. I mean its a needed improvement but there is much, much more that needs to be done. Like i said, maybe they are holding on to that info and really have improved the presentation to make it feel like you are watching a big college football game on a Saturday afternoon, but at this point, i doubt it.

[blackscorpion11]

A waste of time? Not for gamers, but for developers and programmers who should be focused on retooling a very, very broken game... i thinks it's a waste of THEIR time. I'm tired of hearing about added features, i'd like to hear them talk about fixing what didn't work in last years game. Gameplay still equals 80% of the game, if it sucks on the field again, nothing else matters.

Re: NCAA Footballl 10 Team Xbox hands on Preview

By saying waste of time I was commenting on how pointless the feature is. At best I figure it's made too keep people from cheesing online or at least make it easier to spot cheesers. But we know that won't work.

Everyone following NCAA knows the 2 big features are teambuilder and ss. It's just pointless. It'd be like madden 09 talking about that ring as a great newfeature.

Agreed! There seems to be an abundance of faulty logic in this thread. Team builder and season showdown have been touted as the two biggest features of the game (and some sites claim they are revolutionary for gameplay). Based on what we have heard I fail to see how SS is revolutionary. It's a gimick plain and simple! I don't play online so to see it touted as this amazing addition really bvothers me. Where are my formation subs? Where is my uniform editor? Where are my FCS teams?

Look, if EA wants to add SS then so be it. EA makes the game and it's their perogative as to what goes in it. It doesn't affect me in the least. However, don't make SS out to be this amazing feature. Call it what it is... a gimick, no more, no less.
