Post your impressions of NCAA Football 10 here (Now includes poll)

I'm not really in the mood or position to line up a huge post, but I give this game an 8. It feels realistic, presentation is meh (would like more showing of players after plays instead of cheerleaders after every single play), but it is easy to tell it's NCAA and not Madden.

Game isn't jampacked with features, which is my only complaint. I don't really play online because of cheesers (which you can't control) but other than that we get what? Dynasty and RTG...that's it. It's okay though, the game will keep me happy for a while to come and I thank you for that, EA.

I like 09 better because you didn't have to shell out extra money to complete your game. We spend $60 on a game and then have to buy the add ons to recruit, etc. I have purchased this franchise for several years now and this may be it.

I'll tell you what I REALLY love and that is the on-line Dynasty. The Cheesser's have ruined regular on-line play to the point that I haven't played a regular on-line game since '08 game, not EA's fault. I have played NCAA since 2000 and is easily my favorite game over all. Right now I am in Five different on-line Dynasty's. I can't wait for the real season to start to see how well this Season Showdown works out.

""Do not buy NCAA 2010 and if you care about your friends you'll advise them to do the same. Once again whomever developed this game fails to allow for formation substitutions. How can someone whose motto is "If it's in the game, it's in the game" fail to allow for formation subs?

How ill informed can the developers be? Did any of these guys ever watch a real college football game? You can sub per formation in Madden, in the PS2 platform so why not PS3 or the X-box?

This lone fault destroys the reality of NCAA 2010 as it forbids you from creating mismatches to take advantage of an opponents weakness, create strategy and form game plans.

You guys, the developers, really ought to be ashamed of yourselves. I know you're going to make your money and enough people will buy this product, but if you all had any integrity you would recall the game immediately and fix this problem.

Lazy, stupid or ignorant, which one is it, boys? Come out of your cubicles and watch a real college game and you'll see what I mean. Or is it too much to ask for a little realistic gameplay? ""

I'M just seconding this post, this game is an abortion. The crazy thing is, as bad as this game is, I would still buy it if you guys had FORMATION SUBS. I'll never understand why that has been taken out. The sad thing is you guys will never have enough guts to give up the rights so someone who actually cares about football and knows how to make a good game can make some competition. Russ Kinery whatever your name is, you guys are terrible. Please explain why you feel releasing garbage like this is ok.

I dont really like like this game at all. I play a couple games a day and hate it more and more everyday. I just got done playing online with a guy who was using the chew clock feature and he used it the whole game so I was jacked up everytime i had the ball and had to run quick drives. And the B.S. about sertin QB's being GOD in the game is crap. I know Bradford won the hardware last season and Tebow the year before. But when you play as them they make bad throws and run slow, but when you play against them either online or cpu they are the two greatest QB's to ever play the game. I think there are alot over over rated teams and players in this years game. I have been a loyal NCAA player for the last 10+years and this is by far the worst one yet. I dont buy or play Madden because of the crappy game they made a few years back so I think this years NCAA is going to do the samething for me. Sorry EA Sports you just lost a loyal gamer. 2k sports here I come

The game looks amazing on Xbox. I've just recently gained access to the Xbox console and still getting used to the controls, but my main complaints come in relation to the play of the running game ( excluding options ) and the passing game. In regards to the running game, there really isn't much of one. Now, obviously I know it depends greatly on what plays I am calling and what plays the Defense is calling, but is anyone else lacking in the run game. Like I said, excluding the option, which works ok for the most part. As for the passing, why does it not zero in on the recievers when you're playing QB in Road To Glory mode? I can't see what is going on and if I'm over-throwing it or what. Is there a way I can fix that? When I play one on one with a friend, that same problem exists, except not to the same degree. If I throw a bomb, you can't really make out what's going on til after the catch or drop. Any words of advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

But other than that, the game is great!

YES .I LIKE NCAA Football .I think:Life, like a sports match. Every day, you will own more than yesterday. Lost today, it does not matter, because there is tomorrow; wins today, it does not mean tomorrow will win. In any case, as long as you do not give up your faith, the final victory will eventually belong to you. I wish you good luck now.

OK, is there anywhere to complain to EA about the flaws.

I'm playing this bum on line...he's cheesing, going for it on 4th...slowly I start to pull away so I figure he's going to quit. He gets obnoxious and starts lining up offsides when I have the ball and snap it so it's constantly a penalty. Then after he does this the 3rd time the game stops and says your game has ended due to excessive delay! WTF?!?!?!

So not only do I not get the win...I get the loss b/c of some homo I was playing against acting like a douche when he knew he was gonna lose? Come one man...I refuse to believe that can't be fixed!

BTW...the clown I played againts has a GT on XBox360 is: FANN14

Absolute Trash!

The best features are gone and now we have stupid marching bands and Erin Andrews. Who the **** cares!

My biggest complaint is the lack of FCS schools. How "in the game" is FCS midwest as an opponent? I can't even bring those teams back into the game using the Teambuilder feature as advertised! What the hell is going on. Fire your idiot MBA leadership! Someone needs to learn about customer satisfaction and stop thinking about how to maximize profits.

Also, where are the chains, and officials??? Have any of you programmers ever seen a football game?

I can see it now. " Buy the chains and officials add-on from the PS3 store, only $9.99"

Nothing about this product has improved enough to make up for what you've lost over the last two years.

I hope someday competition comes along and bankrupts you.

Go ahead and laugh EA, you got my $60!

Don't bother with an overpriced add-on to get these features back. Stupid move jackasses! I'll never buy another EA product!

-Disatisfied and Disgusted!

Things I like about NCAA Football 10:

- The stadium models are " pretty ". Very nice to look at.
- The teams are set up nicely. Top 25 teams usually are hard to beat.
- The graphic enhancements. The scuffed helmets. The dirty jerseys. The lighting effects.
-

Things I think can be improved:

- Computer play clock management. Please no more 12 play 1 minute and 32 second coring drives. So down the "huddle" so to speak.
- Crowd effects. Why have it if it does nothing to the gameplay.....
- I would like to see the return of formation subs.
-

Otherwise a real good game. Please continue to strive to get better.

Things I like about NCAA Football 10:

1)I like the overall feel of the game.

2)The fact that speed is more realistic (both good and bad)

3)I like that they fixed some of the dynasty glitches too many ppl glitching in online dynasty.

4)I like that the defense is a little bit better (not much) but at least it's being addressed...

5) The zig zag running is gone... (both good and bad)

Things "THAT SHOULD" be improved:

1)First off, the Int's by the defensive ends and DT's are just CRAZY!!!
Not every tipped pass ends in a int or a pick six guys!!

2)The dropped passes are just as CRAZY!!!!
The cpu Wr's catch 98% of their passes while the user Wr's drop at least 3-4 a game.
Not to mention that the defense catches almost everything that touches their hands.

3)The fact that the cpu takes over your player when ever it wants to make a play. Too many times have I given up scores only because the cpu turned my player at the last second, so it could complete a pass for a TD.

4)The fumbles caused by the cpu when you're playing the cpu... Too many times I've had the cpu force fumbles by my players in back to back possessions, while I was pressing the RB (cover Up) button.

5) They took away the zig zag running from the user and gave it to the cpu?? It does not need to be in the game period! The cpu uses it too much and it makes no sense how much it effects the defensive player.

6) The defense still acts stupid? Too many times the defender is in perfect position only to move completely out of position once the ball is arriving. It makes no sense that a defender in position for a pick or swat turns just at the last second to give up a catch, when the ball is coming right at him.

7) The fact that the cpu can run you down with the least bit of an angle, but even with the best angle and speedy player you can't catch the cpu's player

General notes about the game:

I have to write this because it's just too crazy to believe that this would happen while playing this game.

I was playing in one of my four online dynasties. I ran a post pattern that comes open about 30 yds down field. I see my wr coming open, so I throw the ball leading him a bit to get more separation from the db. Well he gets separation from the db, but out of no where the ball is picked by this defender that out jumped my wr and caught it over his out stretched hands. The defender then turns around and out runs my wr and rb for a 70yd TD. Now...had it been a safety or a corner or linebacker I would have no problem with that. But, when I watched the replay... not only was it not any of them, but it was a defensive tackle 30+ yds down field

Not only did he out jump my wr for the pick but he out ran my 97 spd 99 acc wr 70 yds for the TD...

That's not the worst of it yet...I noticed in the replay that when I threw the pass, the defensive tackle was at the line of scrimmage The wr was already about 20 yds down field at that point. You see this huge 300+ pound DT running while the ball is in the air passing both offensive and defensive players much faster than himself in the replay. He then runs past a safety that was trying to make a play on the ball and proceeds to jump while in full stride over my wr... He lands turns on a dime and raced 70 yds untouched for the score. I had other wr's and a rb that had the angle on him and they still could not catch him

The DT had 73 spd and out ran a 97 spd wr and 95 spd RB

!@#$%^&

THINGS I LIKE:

1. Auto passing for the QB and players moving on their own without touching the controller after starting the play.
2. Smooth graphics.
3. Good stadiums
4. AI for the CPU is better but with some fine tuning can get better. The game has come a long way in some areas but a lot of the little things are now gone, we need to get these back.
5. Camera angels are good.

THINGS FOR IMPROVEMENT:
1. Add in the option for either bowl game or tournament as in the 2001 disk.
2. Add effects for momentum, rivals, weather effects (if you are playing in rain, snow, cold weather it should back a difference), home field advantage etc. Right now it appears these play no key factor. In 2001 the meter meant a big deal when it came to moving the ball, a turnover was costly because if you had the momentum it went over to your opponent and they played better and it made for a more competitive game.
3. As in previous versions have the stadiums fill up and empty out based on how well your team is, before if you had a nobody the stands wouldn't be as packed and if you were getting blown out they would empty out.
4. Be able to request a measurement on those 4th and inches, maybe you did get it.
5. Don't make recruiting so complicated, reduced all the actions you need to take throughout the year.
6. If no one is open have the QB take off and run both for the CPU and you if you are not controlling the player, not just stand there and get sacked. Better AI in this area.7
7. Random music here and there from the bands throughout the game as in previous versions, I know if we did this for the PS1 and PS2 versions that it is possible for PS3, especially now that you can add your custom sounds.
8. Allow for formation subs on your coaching screen, as in previous versions you could put certain lineman, LB, safeties in certain formations, i.e. 5-2, 4-3 and nickel, etc. Custom your own offensive and defensive formations, let’s get this back.
9. Increase the AI for the CPU on offense and defense, just a little tweaking. As of now I play on All-American, 7 minute quarters (this gives the realistic amount of plays run per game 6 may even work here too.).
10. Allow the CPU the key your plays as well. They should have the same advantage and achieve good results if they key you correct. If not take it out all together and just makes the AI tougher to make the defense smarter for the CPU so they adjust to your game play, moving their lineman, adjusting coverage, etc.
11. I have heard the rumor of the Athletic Director (AD) mode; this would be a good addition I think. However, let the head coach have the same responsibilities. If you get fired as head coach, you still must leave the school. Let the head coach act as the athletic director or give the head coach more options to choose from.

I have played nothing but coach mode since 1998 disk, because it was more enjoyable and realistic than controlling the players. I know I can beat the CPU on whatever level, but allowing my team to run the play on their own has opened up a new level of game play, where it goes off of their ratings and awareness on who to throw the ball to and not me running the same player to the same player over and over. I have 64 seasons worth of stats playing this way with my father in law who enjoys the game just as much as I do that way. I now have my son playing the same way and he really enjoys it. I have shown co workers this method and have received great reviews. I have been writing EA for years now trying to provide input and advice. I know not everyone play coach mode you could say, but that is a start with working with the AI, this would assist both players that want to control their players and those who don't.

Thanks,

I await any feedback,

Ghost

Once I started playing Dynasty as my main mode, I fell in love with the game.

Stay away from Road to Glory. All that mode does is ignore you no matter what position you play. EA obviously programmed it that way. It doesn't just happen by chance.

It'd be a hell of a lot better if the dynasty severs weren't down for the last four days. Come on EA, get it together. A lot of unhappy customers out there right now.
