NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

[Boucher]

It's every game made after 09 must have trophy support, some games were released this year but do t have trophies, I forget what it was called but it wasn't worth writting home about

I don't understand how mascot celebrations got into the game, I have never even seen that happen in real life. With the NCAA becoming more strict on anything that singles out a player I don't get why that wouldn't be a penalty. Save mascot celebration for the NFL.

The D-Line has to matter, blitzing should not be the only way to get pressure What I mean is simply we want the defensive line to be able to make an impact on the running and passing game, guys should be able to get off blocks and make plays. 2. Higher rated players should dominate (when faced up against lower talent) on both sides of the ball Ratings need to be able to drive the action, while I don't want to create a situation where a 90+ DE beats a 75 OT 100% of the time, you should be scared that every play that DE can be in the backfield. Also I'm going to have to double check but I'm pretty sure most of the huge impact blocks no longer play for inteior linemen. It is sort of silly a 280 pound player gets pushed back in the air 3 yards. But they still can be cut blocked, so you will see some D-Linemen on the ground. -Russ

I'm pretty sure a lot guys who just read that are going piss themselves, me included. Let's hope it happens.

It looks like this chat may be over, but my big gripe is how un-natural the loose jersey sleeves look. It just looks really bulky.

I've tried to update players to the tight sleeves, but as you go in a dynasty it seems like more and more players have the bulky sleeves. An example is the entire Oklahoma team, even the DB's. I'm sorry but they just don't look cool.

I know it's probably too late to re-design the sleeves, but could you give us an option to update an entire team at once?

i know this is off topic but please make it possible for the user to pick pants and tops separately.
this year UNC wore carolina blue top with white pants, white on white, white top with carolina blue pants, white top with dark blue pants, and a dark blue top on white pants.
I really want to be able to choose exactly what my guys are wearing.

The depth chart logic puts the best player with that natural position (left or right), but the CPU never does position changes. Now the CPU will do position changes if the backup on one side is better than the starter on the other side. Note, this does not actually happen during Position Changes in the offseason, so if you look at CPU teams before starting a new season, the change won't have happened yet.

Great info. But could you go a step further and say whether recruiting will be better for the CPU- ie... no more teams with 9 QBs when they need other positions all together. I am glad the depth chart logic has been addressed but the recruiting logic is bizarre.
