    Re: Season Showdown: Show your skills

    IMO, the man coverage looked almost the exact same...shame, too.

    Also, the DE's engage right away and don't get upfield at all, it takes forever for the pocket to set up and that won't stop the roll and chuck or dropback 20 yards that we're all used to seeing. I was pretty disappointed by the vid.

        HUGE FAIL


        Gameplay looked very sketchy as well
        I have to agree. I was hoping we'd hear more about gameplay improvements, but instead, they keep doing this frivolous stuff.

        I really don't care about "showing my skills". Rather I care that the gameplay is good enough to allow me to "show my skills"

          Hopefully gameplay is awesome. I at least want that before they spend time on this stuff

            They can't even get basic elements of the game such as refs or new equipment in...so do you really think gameplay is going to be that good.. no way. The vid looked like a sped up version of 09, and I was not impressed.

              Its a gimmick. I hope they don't consider this a major addition to this edition of NCAA. I hope they did not spend those precious, finite development hours on a gimmick that has NOTHING to do with football when they could/should have been spending it on GAMEPLAY.

              Tell me we didn't miss out on some of the things Madden is getting because NCAA has SS. Hopefully they have more big announcements and won't just ride the coat tails of the opening of the Team Builder website all the way to the release date.
              BTFU!

                Hey EA

                Gameplay Videos = good

                Online play, dynasty and online dynasty gameplay enhancements = great

                Season Showdown = lame

                When will you guys get a clue, you already have your buyers here.

                You don't have to suck in the casual crowd. They will listen to us. I guarantee.

                EASports is supposed to be....


                If it's in the game! - It's in the game! (What happened to that?)

                Make it happen it NCAA 11.

                Don't usually rant, but it is getting ridiculous with these major game publishers.

                  I have Bought NCAA every year since 2003. I will still buy it this year, but i am EXTREMELY disappointed in the fact that they decided to waste their damn time on this stupid Season Showdown, instead of maybe reworking the run blocking, or something that would freaking matter.

                    Also, on the very first play of the video, Julio Jones scores a TD. Than what does he do next? he stands straight up, and shows no emotion WHATSOEVER!!!! This is College Football!! This is Football, anytime you score a Touchdown, YOU FREAKING CELEBRATE!

                      You my friend are part of the problem. Quite sad, honestly.

                        "There are a ton of great games released every year, and we have never had a feature that gives you a specific reason to keep playing months after we launch."

                        "In addition to all of this, the goal of every game is to reach as large an audience as possible, and a feature like Season Showdown reaches out to college football fans in general as well as the NCAA community of gamers. While your sisters/girlfriends/wives might never put a controller in their hands, you can get them involved in Allies & Rivals, while your old man might own a console, he may be willing to help out his school through the Trivia Challenge, and while you might not be interested in a mode like dynasty, but still want some persistent element to your gameplay, Season Showdown is a feature that allows you to be involved as much or as little as you want to."


                        This was from a post by Ben Haumiller on NCAA Strategies posting about SS that basically sums up why I have no faith in this game being good.

                        For the first part, MLB the Show doesn't have some feature to try and keep players playing their game, instead they make a game that has great gameplay, great presentation, and gives a fun, challenging experience. They do not need a gimmick to bring people back, or aim to the casual consumer. Instead they build a great game that gets played year round because it is a good game.

                        As for the second part, do we really need a feature that is catered to our girlfriends or "old man." How about making a game that aims to the hardcore as the cashual gamer is just going to play, play now games against the CPU on pro difficulty.

                        They write about SS as if school pride is on the line and that will draw all NCAA fans in when in reality it is a stupid video game contest that I could care less if my favorite team wins or finishes dead last in. Where is the motivation that will bring people back playing it to keep there team above the NCAA rankings. Unless they add the ranking onto the BCS (which probably wouldn't hurt the system) there is not much point in having this.

                        Instead, make a game that plays great and people will continue playing it throughout the year. Online dynasty is a great mode they added last year that keeps people coming back but it sounds like they barely did anything to improve upon it.

                        Right now I personally hope Madden blows NCAA at of the water in the hopes that EA sees what focusing on the community can do and they decide to put a guy with the passion that Ian Cummings has as the lead designer of NCAA '11.

                          Actually, you guys did. It was called quality gameplay.

                            Some of the dev comments about this thing just baffle me. They truly think this is great while 99% of the hardcore community sees it at a complete waste of time. No formation subs - we were too busy adding points for Season Showdown! OMT had said they didn't put the new qb ratings system in because they focused their efforts on other things. Obviously this new SS was one of those reasons. I just don't understand why the NCAA team's focus was on non gameplay stuff while Madden is focusing on core gameplay. I will never agree with this decision.

                              Look ok but with the improvements I'm seeing in Madden I think this years a rental for me with Ncaa.

                                Gameplay looks fun which is all that matters to me. Yeah the players still turned on a dime but it will hold me till Madden
