Q&A with NCAA Football 10 Designer Greg Heddlesten

Why no choices in Camera Angle?
Can/Will this be patched?

My enjoyment of the game has been diminished without this. I used to play defense very well but not anymore. The guy I'm trying to cover just runs off the screen - that makes him a little hard to cover.

Same post different day. I only ask why a camera angle that was around for 10 years was taken out? I don't want to add ridiculous things to the game just don't take out features I have played with for years.

Greg please tell me that you all are going to send a patch out to fix the roster again. Some of the players attributes are really jacked up. The depth chart is off on some teams. Some starters are on the beach. Some of the best players are not the impact players. Notre Dame is messed up for sure. Ethan Johnson (9) is a starter at dt. You all have him on the bench at de. Mike Anello(37) is special teams who makes plays all the time who is not on the game. Scott Smith(41) is a projected starter who is not on the game. Trevor Robinson (7

is a starter who sitting on the bench. Darrin Walls (2) is a starter also that is on the bench. If you are a starter ... your attributes should be better. Brain Smith (5

is the best player on our defense and he is not a playmaker. Come on EA.

Greg...I hope you all are going to fix the rosters. EA has some of the wrong players starting. They are missing some players as well. They also have some players in the wrong positions. Ethan Johnson(9) is a starter at dt but they have him on the bench as a de. Mike Anello (37) is a good special teamer who is not on the game. Scott Smith(41) is a projected starter and he is not on the game. Trevor Robinson(7

is a starter but they have him on the bench. You would think if you was a starter that your stats would be better. Darrin Walls (2) is a starter but he is on the bench. Our best player is not even a impact player. Brian Smith(5

does not even look like the best player on the game. Notre Dame needs to be fixed. All the teams dept chart probably need to be fixed.

hey Greg

I ran the same play with Nebraska's playbook ACE: TWIN TE FLEX; X CURL, and I threw to the running back in the flat and the cpu a.i didn't really adjust to the play. I racked up about 206 yards running that play over and over again. It worked about 90% of the time when the defense was in a man coverage. The linebacker can never get out there fast enough. What I have notice is that the man assignment is messed up in the computer programming. the outside linebacker on the wrong side takes the running back in this formation. When you throw to the running back in the left flat, the linebacker has to come across the entire field to get his man meaning huge gains.
I just don't like cheater plays and I was wondering if this could be fix in a patch or for next years game. Just a heads up that passing to running backs in the flats works to easily against the CPU ( I was also on Heisman)
Thanks.

Progression issues, will they be fixed?

If not, I'm washing my hands of this otherwise pretty damn good game.

Hey STAHLERZOG, it gets worse. EA's Madden Dev. Ian Cummings is going to release a broadcast camera angle in either a patch or DLC for Madden 10. Even with this knowlege, no producer on this forum will reply to our complaints/questions about a patch for NCAA 10. Absolute garbage.

where do you get a playstation network account at ea.com

Hey Greg

Instead of reposting all of this could you please read and reply to this:

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/0/283965.page#2746693

This thread is so big you might want to start a thread map on post #1 and let people know on what page certain questions have already been answered on, way to big to go though and look. I am sorry if you have addressed this already if you could just tell what page your reply is on that will work for me.

Thanks for being here to answer our questions.

I've searched through this whole forum and haven't seen one about this.

In your second season and every season after USC @ ASU is every year.
Conference games and annual rivalry games change venues every year.

This has actually halted me playing this game for now.

After simming a few different seasons last night with a few teams, I only noticed USC had the same schedule as the previous year

im all about looks

i dont see why you guys haven't made the player equipment more realistic,
cant you do what madden did and make towels, hand warmers, and half sleeves but on the upper part of the arms available. it seems that every player in college wears this equipment. Downloadable content for these 3 simple things would make the game more realistic and enjoyable.

I have a PS3. Madden 10 is a helluva game but I can not make it past the first qtr without my game freezing this is *. This is my third copy and all the other games work in my PS3 except for Madden. I need EA to let me know if they plan on doing somwthing about this * either a patch or a way I can install and play the game off the hard drive but I wasted 60 dollars on some *. Once again don't get me wrong it is a helluva game but my friends and I can't play because the * keeps freezing. My friend has the Madden on 360 and he says it is crashing and freezing on him also. Times are to hard for people to spend 60 dollars on some * that doesn't work let the EA community know what you plan on doing or we will get a nationwide strike on EA BELIEVE THAT!
