1. Enough with the super recruits!! I'm sick of d-linemen chasing down my running back with their 85 speed ratings! It is hard to run the ball consistently with these freaks of nature on the other team. It's not just the upper echelon programs either I was playing Bowling Green the other day and it was ridiculous.
2. In 09 the play calling of the computer is so generic.. I realize a lot of teams are making the transtition to the spread offense but come on, it takes away from the different styles! Every team you play is pass pass pass.
3. Thumbs up to create a play book
Thats all I can think of at the moment

Well I'm a college football player and i feel that the game should be a little more exciting than Madden! The players are to stiff and the running styles are not up to 2010 standards! It isn't as smooth as the older versions! One thing I really hate is that when you edit the players there aren't that many things you can do with him! The way the spat looks is horrible. It was better on xbox and ps2! Players should be able to wear towels , and no one wears those old Speed TD's no more! How about adding a bunch of different team color shoes to choose from ( Vapors, Speed TD's , Etc.) like on the basketball games. Adidas has way more cleats than the games offer, and EA has yet to put Under Armour cleats on the game, and I take that personal because I play for an Under Armour sponsored school! I feel like college football gets the least amount of detail of all the games! Me being a huge fan of NCAA Football, I feel let down because I feel like the game is rushed! Practice Mode and Road to Glory should look more like practice! You should Wear practice gear, do drills, and even condition after practice! the evening events should be more exciting too! Like studying your play book and going to the Library should consist of test that u have to take and that will determine how you increase your attributes. The gym and visit trainer should be workouts that u have to perform and choose like on Fight Night for example! like when you first put the career mode on there, your dorm got better from year to year, you even had things as small as a girlfriend that got better looking the better u played! these are things that we enjoyed about the game! Another thing is i'm a dread head, and would really appreciate if you allow this years NCAA to have a variety of hairstyles! The Sidelines should look more realistic! Like people should move out the way when a player is ran out of bounds! Why did EA Take off the fans rushing the field after a huge win? I just wish EA would take its time and act like a fan of the game and give us a 2010 version of NCAA 2007 PLEASE!! It's unfair to us consumers to get a game with so much left out! And Please return the Senior Bowl to the game! Even add a high school all star game, like the Army or Under Armour games! Also on Dynasty Mode you should be Able to hold more mini camp stuff like Spring Ball! Spring Ball is one of the most important parts of the College Football season! It is where the coaches get to see their strengths and weaknesses and further recruit from there!

DREADS FOR PLAYERS WHO HAVE DREADS. OR ATLEAST LET US EDIT THEM TO HAVE DREADS.

As a Hawkeye fan I would love to see the new end zone painting in next years game. Iowa is also planning to paint the water tower outside the stadium with a big tiger hawk, it would be awesome to see that as well. Hope all this input gets in the right hands.

To go along with the dreads, there should be an option for players to have long hair(Clay Matthews, A.J. Hawk). The only option they have for longer hair is a mullet. Come on I have never seen a real life player with a mullet.

1. Custom Playbook and Plays.
2. Coaching Staff - Hire/Fire.
3. Fix Online Dynasty bug with off season recruiting and it not saving everyone's recruiting efforts except the commissioner if everyone doesn't back out and reload the dynasty after they finish recruiting for the week.
4. Add in the feature of contract extensions, job offers and conference changing to Online Dynasty mode. We created some custom schools and went Independent with the hope of getting an offer to join a conference. 6 years in and nothing.
5. Allow the Commissioner of a Online Dynasty to set the week to auto advance if everyone has completed their week. It is very annoying having to wait for the commissioner to advance the week if you have a small group of friends and you all play at different times.

Update the stadiums.... oh yeah say for instance you in a dynasty with a small school and a small staduim... as year past you dominate the conference and recieve big conference invites that you take.....To Make it realistic could you add where you can add on to the stadium in order to compete with the new conference

For example, North Texas 6 yr dynasty 6 conference champs conference invites to big 12 in the replacement of Baylor...Needs stadium improvement to ncrease stadium capicity to at least 40K !!!! It just would make it better ......

I'm a loyal NCAA Football consumer. I've purchased this annual cherry every single season since Bill Walsh was on the cover of the Sega Genesis release. Its the one game I look forward to every year, and the only game I play every single day. The online dynasty is by far the best feature, because it allows me to play with my brothers who live 300 miles away. With that being said, there are a few things I would love to see added into the 2011 edition to add more realism and excitement...

1. User created playbooks. Nothing is more satisfying and immersive than creating your own plays, and executing them to perfection on Saturday. I love creating my own plays on both sides of the football, as well as mixing in the various ones I like to use from other playbooks.

2. Depth Chart. It would be nice to be able to mix around my special teams players and select who I want, as well as formation/play specific substitutions.

3. Opponent Scouting Reports. Whether you have to send coaches/scouts to watch future opponents, or if its just made available, scouting reports of opponents would add another level of realism. It would be nice to know how often my upcoming opponent blitzes, which formations they primarily run, how balanced they are, etc. A more detailed scouting report would be great.

4. Online Dynasty Assistant Coaches. Even if it's only offensive, defensive coordinators, and a special teams coach, it would create another reason for users to compete. Include the finances of each conference, Bowl payouts, etc. to give the user a budget for spending on assistants, facility upgrades, etc. I know this is primarily the job of the AD, President, etc. but coaches have a say so give us one.

5. Online Dynasty Coaching Offers. It was great when a hard fought successful season or two at smaller school was rewarded with job offers from major programs. It was an incentive to go to a Middle Tennessee *. if you knew that, barring success, a better job could potentially be on the horizon. Have some job offers made available during bowl week, giving the user the option to stay for his teams bowl or abandon them before the biggest game of the year losing prestige. Real decisions that coaches are faced with on a yearly basis.

Aside from these few details that I'd LOVE to see added, there really isn't much I would change. I would like to see the "juke move" be a little quicker, or the players running motion be a little more smooth, but overall the game runs beautifully and I look forward to a more detailed version!

I would like to see the following added to the next edition of NCAA:

1. Online Dynasty - we need the ability to look in on games being played by our competitors, this would accompish a couple of things IMO. First, cheesing would be kept to a minimum specially when a oppont is playing a computer controlled team. Probably the biggest complaint I get from the other players is the discreapancies between the scores of the players vs. computer controlled teams, if I could watch the other players play their games cheesing within the online dynasty would be eliminated. Secondly the ability to scout the other opponents would be greatly enhanced, this would ultimately produce more rounded players, if a player gets scouted and runs a limited offense or defense he will be solved easily and will find he needs to open up the playbook to keep the opponents off-balance.

I don't know how complicated it would be to allow us to watch other online games, I am sure it would not be easy, but if it was not feasable, then how about having the ability so save an entire game to the hard disk on a week to week basis so a person if so desired could go back and watch a game of interest after it has been played. Maybe a little box that needs checking if you want their game saved for future viewing. Some mechanism that would allow all the players to download and watch any and all games being played within their online dynasty on a week to week basis would greatly enhance this game, it would take it to a crazy level, and I am sure result in many divorces but sacrafices need to be made.

I would like the EA Developers to install a play counter system that can be toggled on/off within the online dynasty. It would play out something like this. At the begining of every new offensive series all plays within the choosen playbook would be available to choose, but as you progress with in the offensive/defensive series everytime you choose a peticular play you would have one less chance to use that play within that peticular series; example - I run the option within my league, I would be allow to call the speed option in a 2 wide formation a set amount of times within that series, when I used up the alloted times that play was available the play would then be grey out untill I started a new offensive series. Same on defense, this would open up play calling and introduce another level of strategy to the game, you would not want to use all your goto plays early in a series, it would be awful tough in the redzone if all your comfort food was already consumed...

Last I would like the ability to edit uniforms in Online Dynasty, what coach takes over a program and does'nt put his stamp on the teams with some new threads?

Loved this years game and cannot wait to see next years version, Still playing in an online dynasty with no signs of slowing down anytime soon, Thanks for the effort.

FORMATION SUBS!!! Was always there in PS2, now I go to XBox and I can't believe it's gone. Please, please, please put this back in the game.

FORMATION SUBS!!!! I can't get my best defensive player OFF of the kickoff unit, so ultimately he gets injured on a kickoff!!! Lost for the season!! You'd think you'd be able to because "in the game" in real life, as a coach, I can decide which players line up in which situations.

FORMATION SUBS!!! I prefer to run the option and I find I need to use multiple QBs to be effective. I'd like to be able to choose which player lines up under center by the formation I'm running. Just like "in the game" in real life. INstead I pause...a lot.....and change my depth chart....a lot......boooooooooooooring.....

Did I mention formation subs??? Because really, if it's "in the game"....well.......yeah, something about if a tree falls in a forest......

Dear NCAA Football Dev Team

The Simple things for 2011!

1. Teams are now using 2-3 runnings backs per series and in and out and in and out of the lineup. Please have a quick sub or package sub that we can design from team management to get another back in the game or defense player on certain plays. I hate to have to press (start) (depth chart) switch player) (start) to get one player on one series in the game and the redo it for the next series.
2. Love Teambuilder....make it to where we can change jerseys, helmets, logos or endzones during a dynasty or season and not have to start over. Also, please allow for more jersey options and more pants options. Created uniforms is the best part of this game and to have as many options as Oregon would be great. Look at Florida and Cincinnati when they made white helmets for just one game this year. Classic!!
3. More face and hair choices....even with all the styles you have players are looking like each other the more years go on. Dreadlocks and cornrows would be a drastic change.
4. When changing a players number or style or accessories for every change causes a screen refresh. Last year it was all smooth and took 1/2 the time it takes now to edit a player. Speed up the process of changing uniforms or roster edits to the way it was in 2009. This also happens in NCAA News...too slow!
5. Custom Playbook (not many teams have WildCat but the ones that do we might not like the packages they present.) Finding the right school's playbook takes forever and to simplify that would be awesome. Custom Audibles to different schools would be great as well.
6. Be able to change conferences during a dynasty. Say you joined the WAC but you are 90-0 you would like to upgrade to harder conferences and have a better shot at the title.
7. I would love love love more (TONS) of in game stats. I don't just want to randomly find out if someone broke a record of if he reached 100 yards that day. How about the top two players in the middle of each quarter. Or when the game starts highlight a few players and not just one.
8. This is a big one for Dynasty mode. Have a career stat tracker. I would like to know since I have been coach how my players have done so I can compare them to what I have now. Not just who has records but all players all the time in a list. It is nice to remember the greats even though they didn't surpass anyone on a record list.



Gameplay is great and fun. The recruiting is understandable and transitions nicely. I would just add the LITTLE things that make the game so much fun to play.

I hope with all these posts that someone reads these and can transition some into 2011. I have been a fan for many many years and the addition of TEAMbuilder was fantastic. Now, just up it one more by improving this feature.

1. I agree with GGDYBuckeye 100%. I think that the computer should be more consistant on heisman. When I say this i am saying that when u play the computer some times they come out playing tough and its a competitive game but if something happens and you don't finish the next time you play its too easy.

2. Ease up on lineman knockin the pass down & getting picks from floaters.

3. I think Rivalry games & big games should be pumped up in a 2min video presentation like on road to glory where they talk about the last time the teams played, star players/ difference makers.

4. Allow your road to glory player to transfer atleast once and simulate the season since you can't play. Sometimes we make mistakes as in choosing the wrong school. I had a receiver who went to LSU and all they did was run the ball so i was miserable. I suprisingly won the heisman as a freshman but i also led the nation in pancakes with 138, that's way to many.

5. In online dynasty if you can watch your friends play each other. Its a couple of us in our online dynasty and we want to watch each other play each other and we aren't close. One is in fresno the other in pomona an i'm in inglewood, so if they play each other I would like to see the game.

That's all for now that I can think of. LOVE THE GAME THO

I like your ideas besides that one. It isn't realistic and if your point is to stop cheese then you should just be wishing for a better AI. As much as I hate someone running the same play the entire drive it usually isnt impossible to stop. One pick or fumble and the drive is over, a tackle for loss and you give yourself a great chance to force a punt or stop him on 4th. With defensive plays alot of real teams play a basic defense and call the same play multiple times. They will give different looks but many times it ends up being the same play just a different look to it presnap and possibly different personel.
