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.....
    Yeah, the national champion is overrated. When's the last time Miami was better than UF or FSU?

      People are going to be fuming about the Player Lock feature -- it looks like it is the same camera-work as in Campus Legend from '09 -- if this is the case, a lot of people are going to be very, VERY pissed off come July.

        Isn't that the intention of the player lock. I thought from the blog they had on player lock that that was clearly the intention. I guess I do not understand why it would make people pissed as its exactly what I expected to be.

          Why did this series take a complete **** on itself this year?

            Have you played Campus Legend? It's fun, but the camera angles get obnoxious enough to make me throw my console out of the window. The way they lock onto the ball-carrier really screws things up.

This option is NOT going to force people to play differently, it is simply going to report - in more detail than ever before - HOW you choose to play the game to other players.

              I have been playing online since Madden NFL 2003 and I can safely say that no matter what the games are like - even if they somehow made the perfect football simulation - the choices of the other player in play selection and online sportsmanship (including quitting before the game ends instead of playing it out or accepting mercy/conceding defeat) is what matters most in online play quality. I can have a lot of fun with any online football game given the right kind of opponent...it does not mean to stop trying to make the game better, but it does help when you can go online and find more like minded players...

              High "Skills", Low "Sportsmanship", Low "Upset" #'s?
              What do you think that player is going to be? Think they use UF in every game, never punt and run a bunch of crap no-huddle all game long? I am guessing probably and unless I could find no one else to play, I would immediately avoid them...

              Medium "Skills", High "Sportsmanship", High "Upset" #'s?
              This kind of user profile is what I would be looking for, and I would be willing to bet would give me a much higher chance of finding a sim-style or more like-minded opponent...

              Should the game itself be better and more sim? OF COURSE it should!!! But, since a perfect game is impossible and this game engine is far from perfect anyway, giving players more information to find players that are more like them or more like what they want to play against, is a great advance IMO.
              What ever happened to the fair play feature that was in the last gen Madden games for online. At least that forced people to punt on 4th down unless the situation called for it. I do not like being forced into something with a game but this is a situation where I think it is called for.

                O ok I thought you meant people would be upset in that the feature was misleading and would of had more to it.

                I never played campus legend so I did not know the camera angles were so bad.

                  Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

                  Someone needs to notify the NCAA dev. team and tell them that Season Showdown is not really all that great of a feature. They are hyping the feature way too much. In the end its not going to prove anything. To me this feature is only better than mascot games. Other than that, this feature is pretty stupid. The feature is only usuable during the season. So please, talk about something else that matters. Season Showdown = BUST.

                  And about the clown who said the game overrates UF and FSU, you better go look again. Florida is the national champions, with all key pieces coming back. Florida should be the best team in the game. FSU and Miami have both been overrated for the past few years seeing as how both of them are 7-8 win teams with high 90s overall rankings. Florida States offensive and defensive ranking in last years game was an absolute joke.

                    Ahhhhhh....Just got done laughing at how ******** cane fans are on their scout.com freeboard. Then come over here and see the same thing...Makes me wonder.

                    Overrated UF is laughable. They certainly weren't overrated last year when they won the MNC. They won't be overrated this year with the team that won a MNC last year and brings back all 11 starters on D? Must be a cane thing .. You must be a cane fan who plays online all the time and is sick of players "cheeeeeeeeeeeeesing" with UF.

                    I do agree with you on FSU...Their rating last year was laughable. Ben H is such a clown.

                      I think it's quite amusing that EA is hyping this the way they are for a feature that is essentially going to be running in the background and forgotten within a week. I don't care that they added it, I care that they are going to such great lengths to justify and feature background noise over actual improvements to the game. I am more pissed at the fact that the video looks like 09 with a glossy finish. Cookie-cutter player models (everyone has the same body type, just taller and thicker), players have no weight to them, animations still suck. Linebackers still have crazy verticals and hands of velcro, and it looks like user-picks are still easy to pull off- just strafe and jump. I bet presentation still sucks - even adding Erin Andrews can't make it good to look at. I bet the crowds are still as apathetic and generic as ever. This is a rental for me now. It seems the devs are avoiding discussing any real gameplay enhancements and it's pissing me off. Here we are less than two months from launch, and all anyone knows is that they are bringing in some fluff from Madden 09, a few of the minor tweaks from Madden 10 (except the added QB attributes - why?), windsocks and nets (which I bet the animation for will look extremely artificial and become annoying).

                        Sure you were GT fan. I'm sure all the engineers on the GT boards are having very enlightened discussions on world events.

                          Season Showdown is probably the most pointless, boring, ******** "feature" in quite some time. I mean..seriously...who friggin' cares?

                          That being said..the vid looked very nice.

                            I guess I'm the only one that thought the video looked good. Maybe it was the GMac to Julio pass, but the O-line play looked much better. He took a short drop and stayed in the pocket. Would like to see what some of guys who know more about Xs and Os felt about it.

                              I agree 100% (except for the Michigan DB being clueless on the Notre Dame catch - actually, that might be accurate).

                                I agree that FSU is always overrated. Florida is rated where they should be, but it does seem that EA does not like Miami much.
