Yep, very nice stuff I'd say. I edited my post above with comments. |

Really? I always have my played called at 20 seconds, and then I pretty much sit around and let it tick down to 8-10 seconds (longer if I'm trying to milk it). The only time I've ever had an issue is when I've waited until about 15 seconds to call the play, then realize I need to audible. Otherwise, I've never experienced the time crunch. |

When you say current gen, does that include PS2? Because I didn't see anything on there that specifically said PS2. |

It definitely looks like the Xbox menu. I assume it's the same for the PS2. If I remember correctly, these 2 version always had the same set of features over the years. EDIT: I've just remembered, when EA did that poll (what feature do you want in the current-gen) some months ago, they were precisely referring to the PS2, so I assume the versions are the same. |
I really like the offensive linemen in the lower left video. The user is dropping back like a moron but the blockers are moving around well to form a pocket.

I've heard it is present, but I've seen very little video presentation that would make me think it is. I was asking for video confirmation. From the videos, it seems like it will be 2 guys tackling a guy max.. |
Gamespot has a preview of the 360 version Dynasty Mode up which explains in more detail about the screenshots we saw yesterday. Also, they mention a blurb about the supersim that will allow players to sim a series, to the next offensive possession, a quarter, a half, or the rest of the game.

Sounds like good stuff. Sucks that I'll be going out of town on the 19th...
|
Looks like there is already a flamewar over at Operation Sports after a few videos were released. Ugh.
|
Create-a-team on 360 this year?
|
I just hope they didn't decide to take multiplayer dynasty mode out

Maybe my copy was broken or something, but I NEVER got any replays after the play was over except in the little area in the play-call section. Since I couldn't see those too well, I simply ignored them almost all the time and got to the line really quickly. But, I guess there were the break the huddle animations...but after you saw it once, it was the same every time. |
There is an option for replays somewhere in the game. In order to speed up the game, after about a week I turned off replays and the commentators, so I don't recall where those options are.

There is a nice tutorial video re: recruiting on the gamevideos site:

Was multi player not in the XBOX 360 version last year? It has always been in the PS2 version. But it wouldn't be the first time EA took it out of their games. |

I meant multiplayer(as in online). That's not in '07, is it? Because I had no clue if it was.

From another board via another board:
http://www.gamespot.com/video/938464...ideo-preview-2 above is a video walkthrough of dynasty in NCAA08... as part of that, they scroll through all of the teams looking to pick their team to select for the dynasty. It goes by really fast but I pulled it into a video editing program and came up with these... Team OVR OFF DEF SPT Air Force 69 72 67 53 Akron 76 78 75 64 Aalabama 89 92 85 85 Arizona 85 83 85 75 Arizona State 87 90 83 77 Arkansas 85 90 83 56 Arkansas State 73 76 73 61 Army 71 72 67 64 Auburn 85 85 85 64 Ball State 76 78 67 77 Baylor 69 72 67 61 Boise State 85 90 79 69 Boston College 85 87 85 53 Bowling Green 78 81 71 72 Buffalo 69 67 69 61 BYU 69 74 65 48 Cal 89 96 81 80 Central Michigan 78 83 71 64 Cincinnati 78 81 73 75 Clemson 87 85 89 80 Colorado 87 85 85 85 Colorado State 78 83 73 67 Connecticut 71 76 67 61 Duke 80 83 73 77 East Carolina 71 74 69 51 Eastern Michigan 76 94 75 64 Florida 89 94 85 69 Florida Atlantic 71 72 71 51 Florida International 69 72 65 72 Florida State 94 92 95 83 Fresno State 76 78 73 64 Georgia 89 87 83 93 Georgia Tech 89 90 89 77 Hawaii 85 92 75 77 Houston 80 83 81 59 Idaho 69 70 67 67 Illinois 82 85 81 69 Indiana 80 83 75 75 Iowa State 89 90 87 75 Kansas 76 78 73 67 Kansas State 80 85 77 61 Kent State 73 76 71 64 Kentucky 85 92 77 72 Louisiana Tech 85 92 77 72 Louisville 92 96 85 88 LSU 94 92 95 67 Marshall 76 83 67 59 Maryland 89 87 89 80 Memphis 78 83 71 67 Miami 92 92 93 67 Miami University 76 81 69 72 Michigan 96 99 95 77 Michigan State 85 87 81 69 Mid Tenn State 76 81 75 45 Minnesota 80 83 79 59 Mississippi State 78 78 77 64 Missouri 87 92 77 88 Navy 71 78 63 67 NC State 82 87 81 56 Nebraska 92 92 91 83 Nevada 73 74 73 64 New Mexico 76 83 69 67 New Mexico State 76 85 67 53 North Carolina 80 78 77 88 North Texas 71 74 69 56 Northern Illinois 78 81 73 75 Northwestern 85 87 83 64 Ohio 80 83 77 69 Ohio State 92 92 91 77 Oklahoma 94 92 91 93 Oklahoma State 92 92 85 99 Ole Miss 85 87 77 77 Oregon 87 92 83 67 Oregon State 87 90 81 88 Penn State 87 90 89 64 Pittsburgh 82 85 75 80 Purdue 85 94 77 64 Rice 76 81 71 64 Rutgers 87 90 79 85 San Diego State 80 90 75 67 |
I'm almost calling BS or not done yet. i.e., Oklahoma State rated a 92 while Florida is rated 89 and Georgia is an 89.
|
I'd have to say the same... perhaps ratings from last season? Georgia Tech has a near-consensus-All American at P, but a 77 Special Teams rating?
Or, could this be from a few years down the road in dynasty mode? |
There is a video preview of the game up on Gamespot today. Offline MP dynasty mode is in the game as during the video you can see that up to 12 teams can be selected to be human controlled in a dynasty.
http://www.gamespot.com/video/0/6172293/autoplay-video Edit: Just realized this is the same video posted earlier by Vex. |
Come on the obvious telling point is Louisiana Tech having a 92 rated offense~! LOL
|
That lidt has to be fake... Florida State is rated way to high.
|
NCAA Community Day today in Orlando, can't wait for the details.
|
I can't wait for the real thing. Tigers are going to be B12 champs this year. :)

Quote:
Colorado is the worst rating, an 87 overall coming off that kind of season....most top teams are rated at the level, colorado is not a top team |
The worst rating I see in any category is 45 -- the worst overall rating is 69. Why even bother with a 100-point scale?
|
Quote:
You know it partner! |
The ratings are all screwed up, but that's typical of EA.
Florida State a 94. Florida an 89. Ummm. . . ok. Colorado 87, Auburn 85. Ummm. . . ok. Iowa St 89, Boston College 85. OK, these people are psychotic. Oh, and Mizzou will not win the Big12 North this year. Sorry boys. (I hope they do as I'm pretty sure Nebraska will and I can't stand Nebraska) I just don't think they have the talent to pull it off. |

Offense is too low. |
A few tidbits that have been released from the media day (much more should be posted tonight on a few sites):
- You can upload up to 10 photos and 5 videos onto a website run by EA. I wonder if there is a way to copy the videos from that website to your own website? If so, it could be very nice for dynasties. - You can go back and view plays from throughout the game with multiple camera angles. If you are playing a longer game, space limitations will delete the most mundane plays such as 1 yard runs. However, if you are only playing a 5 or 6 minute quarter game, every play will be saved. - Individual defensive playmaker pre-snap controls give much more defensive flexibility. - Much more extensive player editing. |

Great stuff. I read (Utopia, maybe??? don't remember exactly) that this will be available to current-gen also, obviously in a more limited way. This is a very, very nice addition. |

Has anyone seen whether in-game saves are going to be possible this year?
|
Anyone know if EA typically puts region locking on their 360 titles?
|
Quote:
I may be wrong, but I don't think they'll be in. They haven't mentioned 'em at all. Keep in mind, though, that the "super-sim" feature will allow you to sim the game to the end, good thing to speed up dynasties. |
Quote:
I'm not sure on this one either, but I really think so. They always did with the first Xbox. I hope I'm wrong. |
Quote:
It's pretty much a given that any American 360 titles will have region locks. The PS3 version is region-free. |
Looking at a few sites, it seems like the general consensus is that the 360 videos we've been seeing on IGN and places like that must be on JV or Varsity. A fair number of previewers are reporting that on All-American or Heisman, the game is much more defensive oriented and they were ending with scores of 3-0 and 14-7. The general consensus appears to be that DB AI is much better and the long ball plays are more realistic. They've also said a demo is due out "in early July." I'm looking forward to seeing for myself how much better the DB AI is and the blocking is (the two things that seem to be drawing the most praise along with automotion on offense.)

Quote:
That's the one nice thing about the new systems. You can download the demos for these EA games and tell if their claims of 'improved AI' and 'no money plays' are all accurate or not. |
One thing I forgot about until today was how the CPU made nearly every FG last year. Hope they fixed that.

Thread on Utopia with a bunch of infos.

Screens from MaddenMatrix (you have to be registered).

And for those who were asking about PS2, 6 IGN PS2 videos.

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE HAWKEYES????? :eek: :eek: :mad: :mad: :mad: SCREW YOU, EA!! ;) |
Heh, good point.
|
Damnit. I'm getting excited about this and Madden.
|
I still remember the game of NCAA 07 I played online with a total of 3 kicks returned for TD's, 6 blocked XP's/FG's, and 3 defensive TD's. The blocked kicks especially remind me of how EA's games continually piss me off year after year. But I'll probably at least borrow this game to try it out (but hell if I give EA any direct $$$).
