CUSTOMIZATION!!

Adding a high level of customization to a game really amps up the replay level in any title. At the beginning of every offseason there should be options to restructure and rename conferences, bring in new schools from FCS or from scratch. Change the league format and rules, switch to a PLAYOFF and let the user choose how to set up the playoffs (number of teams and if there would be bowls included on the side). This should be available at the end of every offseason so as the dynasty progresses, so does college football. I hate when I?m 15 years into a dynasty and the game is exactly how it is today. The 2020 season is going to be nothing like 2009. 2020 will have new teams, rules, conferences, and hopefully by then a playoff too. The newspapers do a good job at keeping the user informed as to what?s going on with the league but how about working on the presentation even more to add more realism? ESPN NFL 2K5 had pregame, postgame, and halftime shows and Primetime for each NFL week. Can?t NCAA have all this and a weekly show with highlights and stories from around the league? It?d be cool to add drama like in the real sports world too. Rumors about coaching changes and players leaving would add a lot of realistic quality to the game.

For god?s sakes put in Create-A-School! We had it in last gen why can?t my 360 handle creating a new college? Improve Heisman Legend mode too its been the same mode for years. It was cool when it came out but add more to enrich the legend experience and let the user feel like he?s really a BA quarterback at USC. Take out the practices, they are stupid and monotonous. Put a variety of minigames in so it makes me want to play more than just the Saturday games.

What would be even cooler down the road would be if EA put Madden and NCAA on the same disk so the seasons could sync up if you wanted and both could be played simultaneously. Right now I?m sure that?s too much data for one 360 disc but it?d be something to think about when new technology comes out. Shoot, I?d pay the price of two games if they could put it into one.

If they added a playoff then they wouldn't be able to use the NCAA license.

Shoot...why not? I'd love to see that in the game.

If it is going to be out for the wii, it better not suck this time.

gameplay improvements
1. better WR catches...(catch the ball on the run, don't jump for the ball everytime it slows the WR down)
2. more realistic tackles and sacks (half sacks and assisted tackles)
3. different QB throwing styles (same as pitchers have in baseball games)
4. more realistic DL and OL contacts (stay on your feet, don't fall down like you weigh 150lbs)
5. more fluid player movements (fifa got this one right, take a page out of their book)

other improvements
1. include div 1a schools
2. include confrence records along with the school and ncaa records
3. make the record holder name's editable (hb#34 most rushing td........i know who you are)
4. post graduation player tracking (i want to know what happed to my heisman QB, did he get drafed high???)
5. realistic tackle stats (leading tacklers have 100+ tackles at the end of the season not 80)

OK U NEED TO PUT HAIR CUSTOMIZATION LIKE THE COLOR HAIR STYLE LENGTH AND U SHOULD ADD THINGS LIKE ARM DEFINITION SHOULD BE CUSTOMIZABLE AND MORE CLEATS AND PUT IN MORE TACKLES AND CATCHES ALONG WITH ALL THE UNIFORMS

GAMEPLAY IDEA

First I just want to say, nine out of ten times NCAAF is leaps and bounds ahead of Madden every year. Not sure why, but that's just the way it seems to be. So congrats on that.

My idea is to have more realistic rules and penalties. I had a Dynasty where I was Ohio State and I was playing Indiana in something like 2013 and the Indiana WR clearly goes out of bounds 1) under his own power and 2) without a single one of my defenders within seven yards of him and the WR comes back inbounds to make the catch, break a tackle, and score a TD. Yes I was ahead of IU and was in no danger of losing the game. However this is clearly an example of "illegal touching", which if I am not mistaken is a 5 yard, loss of down penalty. But in the game the TD remained. I challenged the play and it was still ruled a completed catch (since it was caught inbounds).

To be fair I had the same thing happen once in my favor later down the line, but the fact of the matter is it would be cool to see "illegal touching" actually enforced.


And the previous poster raised an awesome point for Dynasty Mode. Let us see what happens to a program's all time greats. When and where they get drafted (First overall to the Lions) and how they fared (32 starts x yards rushing, MVP of the Super Bowl, etc). It could even factor in to the prestige of a given school (like Penn State being Linebacker U, or a school having a given number of first round selections).


One last idea, CREATE-A-PLAYBOOK. Please?

I would like to see the option of switching conferences. For instance, it would be fun to take a pac-10 team and play in the SEC. I like to play as USC and want to go play an SEC schedule, I get sick of playing Washington and Stanford...

With the new create a school feature it appears that creating the uniform for that team is very in-depth. It would be great if you could apply that feature to any existing team. That way you could create several alternates for your team that might not be in the game. You could also share them with other fans from your school.

More Realistic RB Substitutions

More teams in college football are implementing running back rotations where instead of 1 player getting 20-30 carries a games you see a couple usually 2 or 3 players (often with contrasting skill sets) splitting carries. I've noticed that all too often when playing the CPU in NCAA Football 09/08, which ever player is first on the depth chart is just left in for the entirety of the game unless that player becomes fatigued or injured. This is extremely unrealistic especially when you have so many top rated programs having multiple weapons in their backfield rotation i.e. USC (w/ Gable, McKnight, Johnson) Florida (w/ Demps, Rainey, Harvin), Clemson (w/ Spiller and Davis), Oklahoma (w/ Murray and Brown), Alabama (Coffee and Ingram), Oregon (Johnson and Blount) etc. I would just like to see a more realistic look from CPU as far as subbing players and splitting carries.

Xbox 360 suggestions:
1. I suggest that hair that comes out the helmet be put into the new game. That would make it seem more real for me.
2. Put the small schools back into the 360 verson.
3. Make real decleating crackback blocks into the game. Put less of that get a little nudge and fall to the ground.
4. Maybe have players lose helmets sometimes when they get big hitted.
5. Put half sleeves into the game (sleeve on one arm). And a way to make the colors interchange depending on what jersey you have on (if home, have white sleeves or team color sleeves depending on what you think it looks good with).
6. Put towels in to the game. Let it wave from their waist while the player is in motion.
7. Let the user allow players to have duplicate numbers when changing numbers (two players should be allowed to wear the same number).
8. Face Paint.
9. On campus legend, make the computers call better plays that QB wrap and QB choice every play (usually happens when you are a receiver).
10. When a QB on campus legend, let us motion. The computer can do it but I can't.
11. When a receiver (campus legend) on a play action handoff play, the computer always hands off. That should happen less.
12. The runningback runs towards defenders when he runs the ball. make it so he goes to the hole. And make it so he doesn't juke 12 yards into the backfield.
13. Senior bowl needs to be added.
14. You should be able to transfer your legend.
15. There should be JUCOs in the game so you could compete for the juco national championship before you go to college.
16. More colors for the highschool playoffs mode. Let us pick the helmet and jersey colors.
17. Put the 40 yard dash into the game (use of only A button).
18. Bring oklahomas and pass skeleton back.
19. Make mini-games so that you could go against other people.
20. On screens, the computer shouldn't take off and run all the time instead of dropping back.
21. The computer shouldn't score instantly on supersim. Happens a lot after you score.
22. On campus legend, the computer shouldn't run a million screens in a row, especially after a timeout or turnover.
23. Allow receiver to make cuts just like in madden.
24. If you legend is anywhere on special teams in the depth chart, let them be there.
25. In campus legend, you should be allowed to play as every position.
26. The names shouldn't go away if you create your own campus legend.
27. No more suction blocking.
28. There should be spring games and workouts.
29. Stop letting the the d-line accelerate to ridiculous speeds just because they jumped the snap or did a finesse/power move.
30. Stop making the qb's slow down before they cross the line of scrimmage.
31. The short stepping celebration should stay and the pointing at the crowd celebration should stay but the other ones should go. You shouldn't literally be dancing while heading to the endzone.
32. Give an option in practice mode where you could go full contact or you could practice where you wrap up the ball carrier (this mode should be in shorts and shoulder pads).
33. Referring back to the spring events, the qb should wear a red vest to show and he can only be wrapped up.
34. Whenever a corner is right behind the receiver going across the middle and you instruct your qb to lead the pass, the pass gets thrown behind the receiver to the corner can make a play. That needs to stop.
35. QB evade (right stick) should be added to the game (it should work sometimes for realism).
36. On a qb scramble, when he crosses the line of scrimmage, he sometimes pumpfakes instead if juking so that should be fixed.
37. Pursuit angles need to get better for the user's team. The computer on the user's team runs straight at the ballcarrier's back instead at where hes going to be.
38. After a fumble or interception, the offense gets slower and appears to jog. They need to still have the speed they are listed at and look like they are running to make a tackle (players farthest behind should jog).
39. The plays saved or plays that have already happened should be controllable by the user as if you just went to replay.
40. D-lineman can somehow jump instantaneously when you are passing the ball but they never fall for pumpfakes. That should be fixed. They shouldn't have time to bat down the pass all the time. If your in a dead sprint to the quarterback, you usually don't have time to jump right away.
41. On curl routes, when you throw it to the receiver he sometimes moves out of the way. That should be fixed.
42. Texas Tech's default jerseys should be the all blacks.
43. You should have the ability in dynasty to change a teams jerseys when you play them.
44. The computer on punt return can block (the gunners) ridiculous, while the user's punt return blocks the gunners almost never. This needs fixing.
45. On toss plays the it is almost impossible to get to the computer's ballcarrier, but when the user runs a toss, the blockers get little whiff blocks or they don't block at all. Needs adjustment.
46. The computer can break tackles at will even if its the qb breaking lineman tackles. Need to be more realistic.
47. Alternate jerseys for all teams even the 1AA schools.
48. The computer shouldn't have the whole playbook for their audibles.
49. On the user's team, whenever your defensive man gets locked up with a blocker he can't get off at all but the computer's team can. Needs change.
50. Sliding doesn't work all the time. Sometimes it turns into a dive which causes fumbles. That needs fixing also.
51. The computer shouldn't be able to know your play. If you are doing a screen, the computer almost always is in man ahead of time. I understand running the same play will make the defense aware of it. If you are running a screen on the goal line, the computer switches their defense to man. If you then formation audible to drag routes, they will switch back to zone. This needs improvement.
52. Sometimes when you do slide protection they don't slide the way you tell them to slide.
53. The offensive tackle and guard switch blocking assignments a lot for no reason sometimes even when the d-lineman don't cross.
54. Injuries should be less frequent. They happen all the time.
55. Fumbles should be less frequent user. They also happen all the time.
56. The computer almost never fumble. Needs change.
57. This kind of facemask for the revolution helmet need to be put into the game (http://images.athlonsports.com/d/6119-1/PercyHarvin.jpg).
