Well ... IF it affects the passing game in a positive manner gameplay wise, I'll be a very happy camper.




BUT. I'll believe it when I see it. lol

As I said before, it will impact NCAA the same way it impacts Madden." Now go to the Madden thread and read Ian's posts. Ian apparently works with the gameplay team (he worked on NCAA 09 gameplay from what I remember). I'm not 100% sure how this feature will be implemented, but Ian's words point to gameplay changes based on PA. If it does end up purely cosmetic, then save me space on your soap box because I'll be pissed.

From my understanding of the PA system, unless the DB has a clear line of sight to the football, then he won't be able to make the play on it. Also, I think that a player's PA will be impacted by several ratings including awareness. Thus, the difference between a GREAT DB and a CRAPPY DB is that the great DB will be able to turn his head and make the play on the ball. However, the crappy DB won't be able to make the same play. So, I don't think that this is purely cosmetic.

Yeah. That is what everyone wants to be in the game. Problem is that as of right now that is not what EA is saying PA is all about. Read the thread from the beginning.

Again... read the thread in the Madden section. It is from a person with knowledge of the gameplay development.

I hope that the D-Line/O-Line interaction is much better. I'm not of fan of the only sacks you can get is when the QB runs an opition since his SPD is 65 he gets hit behind the line and that's called a sack.

Having the garbage suction blocking/o-line d-line interactions is much easier to have in the game than having an actual o-line d-line interaction (APF 2K8, anyone?).

I'm not holding my breath on this one. I personally think that EA can fix the vast majority of its issues with the current engine. All of them except this. I think the AI and programming as it relates to line play need a massive overhaul to get it the way 2K did it (which was done well). I do think EA can get the lines to simulate the correct stats and functions at the end of the day but how it gets done needs too much work for me to believe it will be fixed for this year.
