Re: NCAA Football 10 Video Coming Tonight?
I just dont understand the direction the NCAA Team is trying to go. I'll be the first to say, 09 was the best football game since NCAA 07. Online Dynasty saved the day, as it made up for sub-par gameplay. So they have improved the recruiting, and added custom conferences along with a little bowl game eye candy to improve the Dynasty aspect of the game. Ok thats nice, you took the best feature of all time and expanded on it.
Then they give us Team builder, which is what majority of the community has been screaming for since NCAA 07. So once again, nice move, I like this idea and it looks as if they took their time and did it right (so far).
Now we get Season Showdown. A game mode in which we are supposed to show our school pride and play as much as we can with our favorite school and whatever school is best represented throughout this mode wins their weekly matchups or however it goes. Now...this confuses me, what is the purpose of it and was it really at the top of their priority list this year? Of all the things they could have given us, and we get Season Showdown? This is almost sickening!
So they canned the whole "Wide Open Gameplay" gimmick from 09, which we all knew would be a joke, and they give us Season Showdown, another gimmick but this time not a gameplay gimmick. This is no more important than Mini games. Im a much bigger NCAA fan than NFL, and I see Madden trying to replicate simulation football to the best of their ability, while NCAA gives us gimmick after gimmick, year after year.
I've heard these devs say time after time, "we care about the game just as much as you do, we want it to be as realistic as the real game." But they have yet to really provide that experience. These guys FINALLY, come up with a nice feature for the game, and it had minor flaws btw, and instead of really following up on it and improving it more, they give us Season Showdown. Really....is that how you guys feel about this game? Are we really heading back down that road again, of useless features this community or even the non-online community cares nothing about?
Sorry for the rant guys but I feel like I'm losing it, lol! I've bought every version of this game, sadly; because I love college football. I keep supporting this company because I never liked 2ksports at all. I always thought EA was better. even though their products have always been so flawed.
I dont know...maybe I just figured because the Madden guys are trying so hard to replicate the actual NFL experience, NCAA guys would try to replicate a real college football game. We dont get as many gameplay fixes, we get Season Showdown. Im a huge Buckeye fan and I could care less if we finished 1st or last in this thing, I just want to enjoy playing NCAA online and offline.
I really hope oneday these guys realize all these gimmicks really arent what make games great, its the gameplay that makes them playable for longer than 2 months, hence NHL and MLB The Show. Once again, sorry for the rant, I just cant believe we are actually posting here in pathetic anticipation of a Season Showdown update. We never asked for this, or anything like it. Im sure there are hundreds of ideas on wishlist's all over and this isnt one them. How about some actual presentation for this game and utilizing the ESPN license and stop holding it hostage. Its a shame how old games have better presentation.
Here I go again lol, ok Im done!

I don't think at this point of the night with very few people on that they would upload a video. The most liklyhood that might do it sometime tomorrow morning are afternoon.
