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

Re: Blog is up

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.

Some people don't want the in-game pop-up notifications. Not sure about other reasons.

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

Stanning?

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.

Because many man hours went into this when they could have been applied elsewhere.

the linked plays is something I'm excited about. also the deep ball looks completable without having to control the receiver, slow down in front of the cb, and then sprint and bang on Y when the ball is about to arrive.

I have to admit, I liked the video. While I would like to hear more about the actual game play, this video makes me believe that the game is going to have a lot more strategy involved and it will take some actual game planning to execute an offensive/defensive game plan. I do feel that the developers really need to atleast talk about the game play very soon because when it comes down to it, how the game plays means everything.

Strategy looks good. But I wish that you could turn off SS and still have the strategy/gameplan.

BTW, its good that they got Stevie Brown right! On the 2 plays of the Michigan/Michigan State game that they showed, Brown blew his coverage on both plays, and missed tackles on both plays. Hes the same in the game as he is in real life.

the gameplanning is not tied to SS. you can use it no matter what, even if you don't sign up for SS. same goes for Defensive Keys and Set-up Plays.

I wish you could turn the Game Planning off. To much crap to have to look at and do.

If they dont implement it right everything can be abused. I just hope when you play on the higher levels it doesnt show you a % for the "set the play up" feature thats so dumb to me. There basically telling you the prefect time to run a play. It reminds me of that John Elway game when you ran the reverse play and your guy would run circles around the defense thats arcade type stuff.

I agree.
I wonder if
i am playing another person and they have a linked PA pass
up to 90% (or 100%). it is 3rd and 2 and i know that they are
going to run that play. So i choose on my defense key to
play pass. Will my team be beat by the PA pass anyway or
will my defense stay home???

If people abuse it then use a hard count and they wont abuse it anymore.

[tswiatkowski]

Yeah, if the other players are jumping snaps, hard counts should work. Also, I cant help but be proud of the Michigan State love in the video. I love seeing my Spartans get repped.

I prefer the shotgun Roger Craig play on Tecmo; but the super human speed play from Elway is a CLASSIC!!

Although I would prefer the % not to be shown, it's not a make or break for me; but you make a great point.

[kdeal4]

In the blog, it said to counter the Setup Play, you could do the Play Pass strategy. So, it sounds like you won't get beat because playing the pass makes your corners/safeties not bite on playaction.
