I think it's just a mistake, wasn't like that yesterday. SS and TeamBuilder are the only ones on that page thats for NCAA 10.

[tswiatkowski]

Well, it probably is. I just went there a few minutes ago and I saw that there. I just thought it was funny considering all the negativity on the boards.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

only the last 3 are "new" NCAA 10 stuff.

With respect,

No one is asking EA to recreate a virtual representaton of football, this is a video game.. We want a representation that is fun and challenging and accurate within reason. Things being comlained about and asked for in these posts CAN BE FOUND in past versions of ncaa or madden. The features that aren't in the EA sports game can be found in other games on the market. Take in game saves for example.. Madden 2008 for PC has it?? The offense , the defense, the line play, the wr/db coverage issues, all worked fine in past versions.. you'll never please everybody, the problem with this game is that it didn't please the majority of gamers who played it. Some of these complaints are weak, but the fact is that you don't have a game until your gameplay is right, EA never got the gameplay right in this one, and never really fixed it.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

NCAA has moved from "buy it" to "rent it"
Madden, for the first time since 07, has moved to "buy it"! Great job madden guys! NCAA guys, you need to get with the program. So far I am not impressed, it looks like you have added things that should have been in since the very first "next gen" game, pursuit angles, pocket formation?

[bigjake62505]

Re: NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

Another thing, some of those answers look just like the typical answers from EA 2-3 years ago. If this is how the blog is going to go just stop right now and don't waste our time.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

This interview has done what much of the information about NCAA 10 has done for me, generated no buzz. I usually can get this game the weekend before it releases. I usually pay an extra $20 for that privilage, this year currently I've got no real urge to do so. While I'm sure that more information will be out at E3, it just seems like Madden will be the belle of the ball at E3 as far as EA Sports is concerned. That has me worried, we are less than 50 days from the release and there isn't a lot of buzz around this title, unless you are a fan of Team Builder which I am not.

I'm not going to say the devs haven't done anything, beacasue I can only imagine the work that went into Team Builder which is at least a feature that has been on wish lists for a while now, but I can't recall seeing season showdown on any wishlist that I've seen. But I have seen formation subs on just about every wish list.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

False according to Ben "just because we're wide open this year doesn't mean the defense is just garbage"(1: 13)

More NCAA Football 09 News & Previews



And that very same designer plays like a cheeseball http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/n...ideos;title;18 (At 4:05)


How can we really believe anything they say when it comes to the improvements in 10'? We were lied to once why not again this year? And how can you ever expect a realistic representation of football when you have designers who play just like the little kids we play in 09' lobbies?





Yet even after that rant...I will still buy this game...

LOL... Not only does he Cheese, but he is pretty bad at the game too. Very obvious that he doesn't understand passing reads and having a level of progression. It is understandable of why the NCAA Series has become trash by just watching him play the game. EA needs to get some people in there that understand football. They need some type of consultant.

BTW... How many times did he use Gator Heavy? LMAO... Half of his plays.

I also see through this thread that many people now agree with me. NCAA lead man needs to find a new job. This game is not on my list to buy anymore. This will be the first time in more than a decade. I won't buy Madden either. I am boycotting all EA products until NCAA plays correctly.

BTW... Jeff Luhr owes me $60.00 for ripping me off on NCAA 09.

[dave731]

Even though Ben was playing on Freshman, I'd suggest he should adjust his sliders but in that build of the game they weren't working anyway. The way they can just flat out lie about the defense not being dumbed down is almost funny....

Re: NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

Haha. Wow. Ben=FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, what are we supposed to expect? Most of what the community wants is not in the game, but what the community does not want, like Season Showdown, is in the game! Come on! The game has pretty much been the same game every year since 06, but fluff was added. Wait, the game hasnt been the same stuff. Nope, its been different, but not the good different. The bad, I mean terrible, different. Way to listen to the wants of the community, Tiburon! Your parent company, EA, should be incredibly ashamed and embarrased that you guys are all over the forums, yet, do not listen to the wants of the games consumers. This has been said on the forum many times, and I will say it again, as long as Ben is working on the game, dont expect to see a college football game that mirrors realism. He knows nothing about football. If only NCAA got the NFL Head Coach developers, and not Madden...

Bottom line EA can do anything they want. The company is the most powerful gaming company out there. Just think about it...

The Sims...How many expansion packs do they have to release for 30-40 bucks? Highway robbery. Oh yeah Sims 3 is coming out...I wonder when the expansion will come out. Soon to be top seller.

Madden...The gameplay stays the same...All they do is add eye candy so it looks good in promos.

NCAA...Same deal...Homer features same gameplay.

NHL...Awesome game...Nothing bad about it. I applaud them.

Pretty much most there elite franchises


What is really sickening is the fact they are so rich, and they have SO many resources, but they are satisfied on releasing a below par product because there are so many casual gamers. I would say 70-80% of sport gamers are not hardcore...At the least.

Personally I think it's disrespectful to shamble an EA poster on this site. It's not like they want to make a bad game...You need to be mad at the men up the stairs.

My final thought on EA.

Extremely good business sense. Not too many companies can get away with making crappy games and end up being one of the most powerful gaming companies. I sincerely applaud them because it's no easy feat. I myself do not blame EA...I blame us...For being fooled so many times.

If I hear good reviews from you hardcore gamers I will rent or buy. Im not closed minded.

[tswiatkowski]

You know, I am probably looking past EA's neglect of gameplay improvements because they have brought back, (and improved) Create-A-School. I had plenty of fun tinkering around and playing with the schools I created, and it is something that has been on my mind ever since they removed it from next-gen. I really think they should take a hint from madden and work on gameplay and presentation instead of season showdown.

In its defense, it is an interesting concept, but not what the game needed now.

I want some better gameplay first of all, and next, some better presentation. I want to hear excitement from the color guys in game. I want to be kept up with what is going on in Dynasty Mode, and have maybe a knockoff "College Gameday" show that is telling me what is going on in the world of College Football. In other words, I want to be excited to play the next game! Once they bring back that spirit and fire, this franchise will be great again.
