NCAA Football 10 Video: Virginia Tech vs. Alabama - Part 2 (Chase @ E3)

I agree and disagree at the same time. I too loved the speed of last gen. But the speed of the players on next gen is slower than it used to be, not faster imo. The biggest difference is the lack of momentum and weight the players had in the PS2 versions.

I don't have a problem with the game speed, just the feel of the players. I thought the game speed of players in NCAA 09 on the PS3 was actually too slow. Just look how long it takes a player to run 40 yards in the game. It takes forever.

I think the speed is way too fast in the game, but I think another problem is that there is a huge range of speeds that is unrealistic. A 99 speed guy might run a 4.1 40 (in game) but a 70-75 speed guy might take over 6 seconds which is just wrong. Also every player is at top speed right away and never actually has to slow down (no momentum/acceleration) to turn so it just makes it seem very arcadey and fast.

The ball speed is also absolutely ridiculous, and I think that probably hurts the gameplay worse that anything. Less time for defenders to react, less trajectory on passes... a 30 yard pass never gets more than 8 yards off the ground... and the ball isn't thrown any softer on lobs, it just shoots up at a 75 degree angle.

i'm blown away just can't wait to get my hands on

I swear this has to be sarcasm

I think that, and the running animations are our biggest problems.

This also felt perfect in last gen. The ball floated just right, and darts had an accurate amount of zip..

also the ball didn't look huge or like it was made of extremely polished plastic.

Completely agree. I know Madden fixed this and it seems as if NCAA is a little better but still too fast. On one deep ball in a video, it did appear as though the ball actually stayed on the screen rather than hit the moon on the way down.

Sometimes I wonder if they boosted pass speeds to help cut down on cpu INTs. Imagine how many they would have thrown last year if the pass speeds were slowed down and the pass blocking toned down.

Just horrible. I will rent this until Madden drops. Never have I've been more excited about Madden than NCAA but this is the year for me until they step it up. Sad because I love the college game more but refuse to play an inferior game.

I agree. It's the lack of momentum and the speed cheats that led to the Wide Open Gameplay BS last year. I always felt like during the PS2 days I had much more control over my players, especially when the ball is in the air. If they added momentum and realistic acceleration it would lead to a much less arcady feel. Also, please tone down the spin moves, especially in between the hash marks. If you spin like that in real life your career won't be very long.

It looks great if you loved '09 and didn't hear what Madden did in one dev cycle. It looks pretty good, and I'm glad they fixed some problems, but not great. That's my opinion but I respect yours.

I agree. It was like this on last-gen, too, especially NCAA 07. I wish EA would fix this.

it looks nothing like 09 i didn't like that game. hearing what they did and actually feeling the differences while playing are worlds apart

i am honestly baffled by people who say this.

Well we must be watching different videos. have you felt the differences yet? I sure haven't. Pastapadre played this game at E3 and he quotes that the game had a very similar feel to 09. If you didn't like 09 (I personally did), then I wouldn't pre-order anything yet.

right but in the next sentence he stated the AI was much improved which to me was the biggest issue with 09 and then when he raised the difficulty up he noticed even more improvement. also said it was one of his most anticipated games of the year. I just love how people take a fraction of what someone says and forget about everything else because it doesn't help their argument.

BTW pasta also said he couldn't find the pump up the crowd button and recent vids have shown that it hasn't moved from last year so i'm not sure how much I trust that source anyway.
