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

the crowd looks a lot better than in 09 i just would like to "hear" them.

This game needs a louder crowd especially in big games... besides the gameplay what i would enjoy more playing this is to sense a rivalry game is really different from any other game

Re: Blog is up

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?

Stop stanning.

The reason people don't like SS is because NCAA pushes it as if it's the biggest addtion added to the game. NCAA 09 was subpar (putting it nicely), then NCAA 10 info comes out it's all about SS. Why should anyone be attracted to a revamped version of Proflie Points just because they go to my favorite CFB team in a meaningless contest? If it's a feature that basically runs the background, then why push it so hard? No one really wants to hear that (and windsocks) as tagline after last year's debacle and it gives the impression that the game really hasn't been worked on outside of that one feature.

Nobody said you have to like it. I simply don't see the point in bitching about something that can be easily ignored.

Not everything in the game is going to based solely on the desires of the so-called "hardcores". If you can't deal with that, go find another hobby.

When have I said that I wanted the game to be hardcore? I want the game to be good.

Can we have confirmation that "Chew Clock" is NCAA's version of accelerated clock!!!!

yes that would be a major improvement..

besides that the crowd should be a lot wilder in their cheers and boo´s and players should react more to big plays in those games

You expressed frustration because EA's publicity machine is pushing the SS stuff (as opposed to the more subtle gameplay tweaks and/or features). Is that not because you (as a hardcore) don't find it interesting?

My point was the publicity is being aimed at the mainstream NCAA gamers, not the ones like us how spend our days dissecting every little bit of info on message boards.

Or it could be me (as someone who isn't an idiot) finds SS a stupid rehash of last gen features that no one then cared for.....? Me being a hardcore fan has nothing to do with finding the premise and why they're pushing a background feature silly. I would be hard pressed to think a lot of people (hardcore or otherwise) who were really excited about it prior to the game plan video.

If they want to push something, push Teambuilder to mainstream fans or maybe a quality game for change, but don't try and sell them a can of snake oil.

I will most likely purchase this game within the 1st week of coming out, but nothing has impressed me so-far. I have been doing all the things far as setting up plays for years, keying on plays defensively, for years. This is only good for people that have no idea how to play football. Kinda shows how behind the real thing these games still are.

It depends how you look at it. I've been doing setting up plays and keying things for a while too but now they're making my job easier and maybe it will be more effective. but I do agree with you, EA is trying to get non football gamers interested in their games by making it fun and easy for them to play (which is what they should be doing in order to increase profit).

I like them showing the linked plays and the percentages involved. At least we'll know exactly how the game is calculating this stuff instead of guessing at how it will work.

Yeah, we've all been setting up plays... however, now it finally has an actual effect on the defense (against CPU at least).
