NCAA Football 10 Blog: Season Showdown: Show Your Skills

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

One of these days EA will get smart and hire a coaching staff to assist the devs. Bring in some quality position coaches to work with them position-by-position, show them where they've screwed up in gameplay, schemes, and strategy, and coach up the devs and the motion capture actors so we get a great, realistic game instead of this. This latest vid still appears to have the same problems that have been with the franchise since the next-gen systems came out. Still can't get something like screen blocking right. And I guess we have to wait until NCAA 11 to get the Madden 10 player movement and momentum system.

This this this this this

I'm still withholding judgment until I've actually played the game, but I've said for years they've needed some sort of consultant for both football games.

"That's the big thing..we need to reward the guys that are good at playing the game."

"We want to reward people for what their doing after the ball is snapped."

Thank goodness we'll be rewarded now. Before I never cared that I got INTs or won the Heisman, led the league in sacks, or for any accolades within my dynasty. In fact, I have no idea why I played because without SS there to reward me for what I do with the sticks, it was just pointless. Thankfully all those things matter now that I will gain skill points.

Careful...I don't think EA understands sarcasm too well

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

So that blog was basically explaining what a TFL, big hit, FF, sack, pick, swat, catch, and a passing TD is and that we can get points for each... Wow... Good thing they told me all that because before I didn't know you could force a fumble by hitting someone hard...

Video showed some good gameplay though. I saw a good pocket but I in the Michigan vs ND (I think) there was WR/CB stuff that just looked stupid.

To the poster who wanted it in.

My thoughts on this are... well let's just say...

My mom told me if I didn't have anything nice to say I should just keep my comments to myself.

I'm for one am glad I will be able to see my random opponents skill and sportsmanship level.

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

I love it, all this hate. anyways i do agree with all of you guys, if they would have spent this extra time creating and promoting SS on gameplay or presentation the game just might be little bit better. as far as the video, the game looks to play the same other then Oline blocking, new QB drop animation that still needs to be slow down and some new animations. well What can you expect from producers that looks like they've never played a down of competitive football in their life.

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

I like the gameplay footage but SS is not for me. I just don't get why people want "credits" or "achievement points" and that type of stuff.

Player lock looks to be a very well incorporated function that I look forward to using.

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

Seems like EA doesn't like Miami. Always overrate FSU and Florida. Heck, even UCF is overrated. Plus those videos they made Miami look horrible, whoever was controlling Jacory Harris ran into those sacks 100% of the time. If you are going to show off a game, don't make it look stupid and make the QB run right into a sack.

Nothing else to talk about since SS is all the blog was about.

Oh, and if you are the best rapper alive, then how come I have never heard you before? I don't recognize you at all.....

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

A lot of the offensive actions are based on the ratings of the players on the field instead of the skill of the person holding the controller

Ben Haumiller

I only score tuchdowns on offensive cause of my player ratings,not me the person that is controlling the players.

Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

Front page of the NCAA site now. http://ncaafootball.easports.com/home.action Oh NOOOOO. This video was Part 1 of 3. We still have two more videos and probably blogs taken up by nothing but SS. All the while Madden releases something new every week. Give us something other than SS, it's already been shoved down our throats enough. Damn.
