NCAA Football 10 Impressions (Pasta Padre)

Re: Pasta's review is up(No team entrances)

Presentation wise there isn’t all that much new. The bands during pregame appear to have been the main addition. That does absolutely nothing for me except add something new to skip through. There are no team entrances or new style of replays or cut scenes that I came across.

So basically one of biggest elements of the game, presentation, has essentially been untouched with the exception of bands...

Spectacular NCAA.

You guys do realize that all of the whining you did about CAS took A LOT of dev. time away from the actually game. I won't even use Team Builder, so it doesn't sound like there is much of a difference between 09 and 10.

...that is rather true, though. So many people kept asking for CAS, and Div II schools. So EA knocked both of them out with one stone essentially, and people are complaining about it.

I just hope the gameplay team did as much under the hood work at the Teambuilder crew.

No, I think its that new sideline reporter, hell, I don't even know her name. If implementing her into the game doesn't make you want to buy it, what will? Sad.

The game sounds awesome. I can't wait to play it.
Those adjustments in gameplay and adjustments to AI were needed way more than presentation and will really add to the enjoyment of the game.
Not saying that some added presentation is not needed or was not expected but I truly expect this to be a really fun game.

NOT TRUE
I still want real Division II schools. With CAS you can create FCS teams but you have to replace Division I teams with them, while the generic FCS teams are not replaceable.

That means the generic FCS teams will always be on the schedule no matter what! That is NOT real!!!

I hope that next year they can get in the real FCS teams the right way and that is more important to me than 1 billion cut scenes of presentation.

This isn't everything, but you may find it helpful:

"Presentation wise there isn’t all that much new. The bands during pregame appear to have been the main addition. That does absolutely nothing for me except add something new to skip through. There are no team entrances or new style of replays or cut scenes that I came across.

Ultimately if you liked 09’s gameplay you’ll like 10. If you liked 09 but felt there were several issues then you’ll probably be satisfied with what they’ve done for 10. However if you had a strong dislike of 09 I wouldn’t expect that feeling to shift based on the gameplay related changes and additions.

***

They aren't advertising wide open gameplay this year but there is still a sense of that. Its tough for me to make those judgments based on such a small sample size though."

so the guy can't link the page, but you felt good just to show him the stuff most people thought was negative about the game? C'mon. If you are going to copy and paste bits and pieces then you need to paste a little of the stuff he felt was good about the game.

Good write up. Would have liked to hear some news on the OL/DL interaction.

On Utopia Pasta said that the pocket wasn't as pronounced as Madden and it was still easy to break outside of it. He said he didn't notice it much from the small bit he played.

Rather disappointing.

Pretty sure he means D-1AA/FCS schools

Sounds like they didnt do much fancy or flashy, other than TB, but they addressed some serious AI issues, or tried to at least. At least it seems like a step in the right direction.

It would be nice if my computer didn't crash every time I went to Pasta's website.

That review has me excited! So many flaws of 09 sound like they have been fixed. Of course, is classic OS fashion, the thread title points out no team entrances lol.
