NCAA Football 10 Video: Online Dynasty

it seems they optimized the menus a lot. the player's picture when looking at the rosters are like they were in NCAA '07(360). but back then it was kind of laggy in the menus.

Other than a purdy new menu screen, some decent looking player models, and improved CPU stats, this update was pretty much meh for me. And a note on the improved stats, I was relieved to see the USC QB complete less than 50 percent of his passes (an impossibility in NCAA 09) but was disappointed by the Florida QB's 144 of 192 pass completion (75 percent!).

I hate how developers always try to come up with these features that they think we will want. They keep adding all these excesses (competitive recruiting, custom conference, season showdown, etc.) when what we want is a solid football game with great gameplay and great presentation. Give us what we want EA: weekly recap shows, pregame/halftime/postgame shows, expanded playbooks, etc.

BTW, who wants CAS (or Teambuilder)? I play a college football game to get a true-to-life simulation not to make up schools that don't exist. Plus, the interface (if I remember correctly from 04) will include cheesy, generic uniforms and cheesy, generic mascots. No thanks.

I think Madden seems to be more on target with the true-to-life simulation. You don't see them adding CAS.

Not totally bashing, just asking. Cosmetically, everything looks great. The backgrounds were nice in the transfer clips. However, what is the need for having a player's profile with no helmet? I was totally fine with it the way it was. That and the players look like they're in their 30's. Unless EA is planning on showing actual roster players on the sidelines without their helmets is the only reason this is even necessary. It looks great though.

I appreciate your optimism but the pessimist is me says that TEAMBUILDER translates into "team rosters et al." They have renamed campus legend and redone the packaging so to speak. The one thing you don't see on that screen is "ROSTERS." I would love teambuilder to be CAS but I highly doubt it

most likely rosters, depth chart, etc.. is still located under Team Management like it is on '09. what else would be in there?

I thought Sway could already do that. Am I wrong about that? If so, it's a good addition.

That's a good point.
