NCAA Football 10 Video: Central Gameplay

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Central Gameplay

This may sound odd, but the best new animations I saw were the non catches and throws out of sacks. Not glamorous, but realistic. Sideline catches... those plays would have most likely taken the receiver out of bounds. The running animations should really be slowed down to detail the weight shift of players better. To make those cuts, a player would have to extend the outside leg and make a huge plant. Even then, the first two scenes had receivers moving too fast to the sideline to actually make a cut up field.

Someone brought this up awhile ago, but it needs to happen. Stop developing sports games on an annual basis. We no longer need it in 2009 or going forward. We have brand new technology that is getting more and more complicated to develop for, so if you have to build a sports game from the ground up, as EA did in 2006 or 7, it is IMPOSSIBLE to make a game without serious flaws in just one year.

It is time where sports developers take two years to develop a game. DLC is available at the drop of a hat. Instead of rushing to develop NCAA '11, why doesn't EA devote 95% of their time to NCAA '12 and addressing most of the concerns and then give us animation tweaks, roster and uniform updates via DLC. And for those out there who do not have a fast internet connection or play online at all, then maybe EA could just make a disc with just the new content on, send it out to game stores and the kids could pick it up there for the same price.

I think the age of developing sports games on a yearly cycle is more of a headache than it needs to be. Because of the increasing technology, games take a lot longer to develop. I don't think that the idea of releasing uniform/animation/roster updates every down year is an unrealistic proposition. It could be done and it would work. I guarantee there are hundreds upon thousands, if not millions of people out there who will pay upwards of $10 a pop for accurate updated rosters, $7-10 for uniform and equipment updates of EVERY player, $7-12 for animation or gameplay updates on the off-year. Of course, this is purely speculation, but game companies could do market research and find out for themselves.

I think that until this is the precedent for sports games, there will be these headaches and false promises EVERY SINGLE YEAR. It is just a shame that licensing contracts with the leagues may be preventing this and may be requiring a game to come out every year. I don't know, I'm not a lawyer.

But until this happens, we will continue to hear the same garbage every year. And also, All-Pro 2K8 had over two years to develop, OF COURSE it would have better animations and engine than the EA games that year bc EA already had an engine in place and were trying to work with that on a yearly cycle. And there won't be another All-Pro until NEXT YEAR, which means they will have had THREE YEARS to work on the next one. Big advantage in making a great game.

Just my two cents. Carry on.

People need to stop buying the game every year if this was ever going to happen. Companies don't just turn their back on $$$ to make a better product.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Central Gameplay

I liked some things in the trailer. But I'm not going to highlight those things, because apparently NCAA developers still don't get it.

The vid at about :30 seconds is the worst thing I have seen in a football video game.......EVER.

ever Rocky?

Yes. Ever

Really, Rocky ever?

Yes, ever...really.

Rocky, you have played 7 seasons in your franchise for NFL Primetime 2002 made by Konami...and that's the worst thing you've ever seen in the football game?

Yes, it's the worst thing I have ever seen in a football game (relatively speaking of course). Not only did all lineman fall down in a trailer but it happened in two different clips. That was astounding....truly one of the most comically depressing things I have ever seen in my once beloved NCAA Football.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Video: Central Gameplay

Yep. That is why we are here. Actually there are a LOT of the devs lurking on the forums (Hi guys!). Only some of us are cleared to post.

Yes we like feedback. It is very important to us. But I have to admit that the negativity and the trolling recently is wearing on me. It makes it a lot harder to come to this site and look for feedback when you have to sort through the unconstructive stuff.

I'll be the first to admit, I've been flaming you guys over the last few weeks countlessly and I have problem doing it again! Im sure if you go to Red Lobster and order a $60 meal for your family and the food tastes like crap, your gonna raise hell to the waitor, manager or the chef. You'd be pissed and ask for some kind of compensation.

Well this isnt much different, except their is no compensation for us when you guys decide to give us a game that has absolutely NO DEFENSE, or BROKEN SLIDERS, or NO PASS RUSH, or broken pieces in online dynasty. We arent compensated, we're fed excuses and then when next years game is showcased, we see nothing has changed to improve most of the major concern areas.

I think you forget who we are and what we do. We are PAYING CONSUMERS, we pay your salary, because to be quite honest...if we all boycotted this game for a year, someone would be out of a job! Its nothing personal, we just want our food nice and hot when we get it on July 14th. Dont take it home with you, its work! We all got jobs where people give us hell about our product or service but we all deal with it like you should! So if you cant take the heat, stay out the kitchen!
