Check out the shot of Autzen stadium. Are those Bronco fans I see at the far end?

I love your sig btw.

Nah I think that's Oregon State because there's a little black and no Blue.

It is by far the best quote from a play by play commentator in sports history! haha

oh my god the Cal running back was FLYING around twitching from direction to direction. very upset to see that even though i knew it was coming from previous videos. PLEASE get momentum next year.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Season Showdown: Strategy, New Video Too

The tone of the blog was actually funny to me...Lines like this

If you are the type of guy that likes to press all of the time, you're now going to be the type of guy that also likes to chase a receiver down after they got past your DB and got hit wide open on a streak.

As if it's our fault that EA made a specific style of gameplay superior to all other styles...The guys that press all the time are just going to turn into "The guys who do X all the time because that's what works

Blog was good although we knew quite a bit of it. I really like how they said the cpu WILL go deep on us. I personally like the simpler gameplay strategy adjustments the keys allow. I think football video games have gotten a little too complicated with all the hot routes and everything. I just hope the keys and strategy changes aren't overdone, ie. overshadow actual player ratings.

I can't see the video at work so I'll have to check it out at home tonight.

Probably not, but do you guys think that we will be able to turn off the linked plays? It is good for novice football minds, but I play a lot of h2h on the same console and I would rather not have that show up on my playbook. I know football enough to know what play sets up what.

Anyway

Since Madden 10 has momentum and NCAA uses a similar engine, why in god's name would they not use it?

The game looks great. Love the new animations and camera system.

Re: Blog is up

a couple people in the thread have said it's not, but i'd still like to see further confirmation on that as well

Well, it isn't. It will be there whether or not you pick a Season Showdown team.

But I still don't understand why people want to avoid Season Showdown. Is it a matter of hardcore sports gamer principle or something? You won't notice a difference whether you sign up or not.

Re: Blog is up

so you mean it will still be there even if we never activate Season Showdown or it will only be there if Season Showdown is activated?

If its there anyway then they better have an option to turn it off because i dont want to use it. I dont want to have to tell my team to be aggressive then have them getting burned for being too aggressive.

If you set everything to Balanced (the default), it will behave like it is off. I don't use it much unless I'm losing late in the game or protecting the lead.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Season Showdown: Strategy, New Video Too

the stripping the ball option scares me. it seems like anyone would pick the aggressive option here because most games come down to who gets lucky with the most forced fumbles. it wouldn't be too bad if the negative to this selection was missed tackles, but it is instead a simple penalty. This penalty is nothing to worry about though because everyone can drive the field on offense; games just come down to who can hold who to just a field goal.

Well, you're assuming the game will play like 09 where it is a contest of "last to score." This isn't the case anymore.

Just my opinion, but I think SS has become this year's "NCAA hardcore gamer litmus test". It's the thing the cool kids can bitch and moan about to prove they're not mere "casuals". Of course, the HC's could just ignore it entirely, but where's the fun in that?

Pretty much. I guess Season Showdown isn't Sim.

That's ok. If you guys want something true Sim, pickup Sims 3 next week!

What difference does it make?
