The strategy thing is a gimmick... but it's the right kind of gimmick. I'm 100% in favor of anything that gives you more control over your team's personality on the field, and I like this feature a lot. It was a very creative and intelligent way of making the game deeper, and putting more control in the users hands.

For all the negativity on this forum, and I've been a part of it, this was a nice idea, it looks well implemented (still, yet to be seen of course), and kudos to whoever designed it.

I know. How many times would you get frustrated late in a game and you are losing but your players play conservatively all the time. Take a chance on the pick you bum! Now I can make him!

This isn't "strategy" it's just silly. Nobody is going to tell their team to "Go for the Big Hit" or tell the Running Back not to try and break a long run.

The reality is that NCAA hasn't had penalties called in years and it's moving more and more towards non-football fans. Does anybody really think there is going to be any penalties for going for the strip, jumping the snap, impact block etc. ect.

People have abused the strip button for years with no effect.

This is going to be another tool to "cheese up" the game. Everybody is going to pick the aggressive options (most of them). In fact, they should. The penalty for going after a strip isn't a "facemask penalty" that doesn't really make sense. The Penalty should be you only have about a 15% chance of making the tackle. Nobody lines up in the openfield and tries to strip the ball.

As for plays setting each other up, meh. It more or less proves that it was a placebo effect in previous versions, but I'm worried it will be too powerful. I'd rather it play out on the field (You can see the defense playing the play more aggressively) then as a % on the screen, but it's alright.

Huh? All the defender did was dive for the QB and hit an uncovered ball. Just as much luck as anything. What exactly did this prove?

It's come to my attention that ppl on here BITCH about every and anything.

[NavigatorD83]

Even in last years Ncaa they just seem to move around more like football players than in madden

George Teague stripping Lamar Thomas in the '93 Sugar Bowl is a better example. But the point is made. Defenders go for strips in the open field plenty.

It's come to my attention that some people love to bitch and moan about the bitch and moaning. It's actually counterproductive.

[NavigatorD83]

I know im late on here but did anyone notice the guy who caught the ball near the sideline did NOT run out of bounds like a jackass? Holy crap thats almost worth 60 dollars right there

[NavigatorD83]

maybe some day Ncaa and Madden will have the Coordinators talking to you like they did in head coach. maybe if they were the ones to alert you when linked plays have a chance at being effective it wouldnt seem like it was "dumming down" the game. Id eventually like there to be more interaction with your coaches in these games.

Bull.

I'm sure in the history of football it has happened, but it's hardly a regular occurence. Certainly players fumble in the open field, players fumble on just regular tackles all the time. (Another silly aspect of this system). If a player wants to be aggressive, the broken tackles should increase a ton. Make the penalty worth it.

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

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

This better be in, last year on ncaa stradegies they said they would .......Besides pursuit angles this was my number one priority (not wants or wishes) to be added to this years game

I have a question, how can people tell if someone is sim from season showdown?

You got that right. Pursuit angles destroyed last year's game.

And, yes, accelerated clock would be a huge addition!
